PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia, July 12, 2025 – The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a public alert regarding multiple fraudulent TikTok accounts misusing the name and image of Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution bin Ismail to deceive the public. Authorities are urging vigilance as scammers exploit the minister’s identity for financial gain.
The official TikTok account for Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution is verified under the handle **SAIFUDDIN_NASUTION**, accessible via the link: https://www.tiktok.com/@saifuddin_nasution.
The ministry has identified several fake accounts, including “Saifuddin_Nasution0”, “Saifuddin_Nasution”, and “Saifuddin_Nasution12”, which have been blocked by TikTok following reports. However, officials warn that more counterfeit accounts may emerge.
These fraudulent profiles falsely claim that the minister is offering financial assistance, directing victims to WhatsApp links in their bios. The ministry clarified that this is a scam designed to trick individuals into making advance payments. “Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution will never request payment for any form of assistance,” the statement emphasized.
The ministry has lodged complaints with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and TikTok to address the issue. Legal action will be pursued against those involved in the deception, with authorities vowing to leave no stone unturned in protecting the public.
Citizens are advised to exercise caution and follow these guidelines:
– Verify the authenticity of information before trusting any offers of assistance.
– Avoid contacting or sharing personal details with suspicious accounts.
– Refrain from making payments to individuals or social media accounts claiming to represent the minister.
For accurate and updated information, the public is encouraged to refer to the official social media channels of Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution bin Ismail. The ministry remains committed to safeguarding the community from such fraudulent activities.
