Pahang palace: Pahang Palace today denied claims that the Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, has offered cash assistance to the public through social media platforms and WhatsApp.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the palace clarified in a statement posted on the Kesultanan Pahang Facebook page that the denial was issued following the circulation of messages using the name 'Tengku Azizah' or 'Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah'. These messages were found to be actively deceiving the public with promises of substantial financial aid while requesting victims' personal information.

The palace emphasized that such actions constitute an irresponsible attempt at fraud and could tarnish the image of the royal institution. The public is advised to remain vigilant, exercise discernment in verifying the authenticity of information, and not be easily duped by false offers disseminated on social media.

Furthermore, members of the public are urged to promptly lodge reports with the authorities should they be contacted or receive any suspicious messages purportedly in the name of Her Royal Highness.
