KUANTAN, Oct 26 – The Pahang Palace has strongly refuted claims made in a fake TikTok video regarding a purported recent visit to Indonesia by the Crown Prince of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah.
In an official statement published on the Pahang Sultanate Facebook page on Monday, October 26, 2026, the palace clarified that a video posted by a TikTok account under the name ‘yayasan.hilmi.fir’ falsely alleged Tengku Hassanal had traveled to Indonesia to witness a religious ritual led by a local ustaz.
The palace confirmed that the Crown Prince does not appear in the video, describing the content as entirely fabricated, defamatory, and aimed at misleading the public for social media engagement.
