On July 22, Persana was ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment and evaluation for a month at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta in Tanjung Rambutan.

Judge Norma Ismail issued the order after allowing an application by deputy public prosecutor Ravendejit Kaur for a mental health report of Persana.

Persana previously pleaded not guilty to knowingly uploading a post containing an image of a fake marriage certificate purportedly between Tunku Ismail and a certain “Crown Princess” Ratu Shana.

She was said to have committed the offence on Feb 25, using a TikTok account under the name “king.charles.ratu”.

She was charged under Section 233(1) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for the improper use of network communications, punishable under Section 233(3) of the same Act which provides for a fine of up to RM500,000, up to two years’ imprisonment or both, upon conviction.
