TikTok is under scrutiny in Malaysia after the communications regulator MCMC issued a statutory demand over alleged misuse of a fake account linked to King Sultan Ibrahim. Police confirmed a fresh investigation under the Sedition Act and Penal Code following circulation of defamatory content. Earlier, authorities said over 10,000 fake accounts misusing royal identities were removed between January and March.
