Malaysia's Judicial System Upholds Anonymity: Reason Behind Concealing Identities of Minor Defendants like Zara Qairina in Court Cases
A fake TikTok account has been uncovered, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to mimic the voice of Queen Raja Zarith Sofiah of Malaysia. The account, which has gone viral, features a 33-second video that uses the Queen's image and voice to lure victims, often asking them to pay a RM200 registration fee for financial assistance [1][2][3][4].
The Royal Press Office (RPO) of Johor has warned the public to be vigilant and not to trust such fake accounts. Impersonation and identity misuse are offences under Malaysian law, and the RPO stresses the importance of not being easily influenced by such fraudulent accounts [1][2].
The scam does not stop at the Queen's impersonation, as similar AI-generated videos using the image of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim have also been identified [1][2]. Authorities urge vigilance on social media platforms, as AI is being misused to create convincing yet fraudulent content to deceive the public [2].
The incident occurred on August 20 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the fake TikTok account was detected there [1][2][3][4]. However, no information about any action taken against the account has been disclosed [1][2].
The public is advised to remain cautious of fake accounts on social media platforms, as they can lead to financial scams. The RPO encourages everyone to verify information before taking any action, and to report any suspicious activities to the relevant authorities [1][2].
