Perak Sultan's office denies fake royal wedding claims in viral TikTok video
Comptroller of the Perak Royal Household Meor Hezbullah Meor Abd Malik confirmed that no royal wedding or live broadcast is scheduled for August 7. He stated, 'The Office of His Royal Highness neither recognises nor is connected to the TikTok account owner and has not appointed anyone as an official spokesperson for palace events, including royal weddings.'
The viral 58-second video, posted by a user named 'The King,' falsely claimed a royal wedding would take place at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar from August 7 to 17. It also alleged a live broadcast of the solemnisation ceremony on a local TV station.
Meor Hezbullah warned that the false content could mislead the public. The palace has urged social media users to verify information before sharing. - Bernama

(Video) Couple Shaken After Iron Rod Almost Pierced Through Windshield At Besraya Highway
A couple of years ago, a woman narrowly avoided being impaled when a metal rod flew into her windshield while she was driving on the highway. According to her, one of the lorries ahead had failed to properly secure its tarpaulin, causing a piece of scrap metal to break loose and pierce through her car. Fortunately, she escaped unscathed, but the terrifying incident could traumatise anyone, especially as the scene looked like something straight out of a 'Final Destination' film. And, as it turns out, another driver experienced a similar ordeal earlier this week. Here's what happened: TikTok user @/cydaismail2 posted a video showing how an iron rod nearly pierced the windshield of a Proton X50 while she and her husband were driving along the Besraya Highway. The couple had just passed under a flyover when something suddenly fell and shattered the windscreen. Although shaken, the husband managed to stay calm and safely pulled the car over to the side of the road. 'It's so fortunate that [the rod] didn't break through the glass completely, or we could have been badly hurt,' the woman said. In her caption, she added that her husband had lodged a police report and is now awaiting updates from the officer on duty. After the video went viral, netizens expressed concern over road safety but were relieved that the couple had not been injured in the frightening incident. Others urged them to take legal action against the construction company believed to be responsible for the iron rod falling from the flyover. In a follow-up video posted yesterday (Thursday, 20th August), @/cydaismail2 updated her followers on the situation. She began by expressing gratitude to those who had offered their prayers and advice after the incident. She reiterated that she and her husband had lodged reports about what had happened. 'Unfortunately, there's no dashcam footage because we had just had our car tinted and couldn't reinstall the device, but it is what it is. The most important thing is that everyone in the car was safe,' she stated. Watch the viral clip below: @cydaismail2 Atas jalan ni, bukan kira accident belaga2 kenderaan jaa… enda mcm ni pon kira accident jugak. Allah sayang kami, alhamdulillah Suami pon steady lagi waktu drive tu tak terkejut apa. Sebab dia bawak slow jaa time tu. Time cermin meletup. Memang cyda terus tengok kiri kanan. Kot melayang dair lori ka apa. Tapi dak. Belah kanan ada moto, kiri depan sikit. Mcm lori diy, yg kecik tuu (Seingat sy laa) Kalih belakang, kami melepasi flyover. Punya neves. Smpai salah masuk lorong smart tag. Kami guna tngo. Suami berenti tepi. Ribas2 serpih maca yg merecik. Lepas tu pusing balik hghway, pergi rumah tol dekat tepi tuu. Jadi semalam, suami dah setelkan report polis dan tgu update dari pegawai bertugas 🥹 Hati-hati semua dekat jalan, mintak dia bnyak2 bagi allah lindung kita.
