KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 — The Sessions Court here has ordered a masseuse, charged with uploading a video and picture of a fake marriage certificate involving herself and a royal family member in February, to undergo a one-month psychiatric observation at Hospital Bahagia, Tanjong Rambutan, Perak.

The accused’s counsel Mehgalaa Rajendran did not object to the application.
“The court allows the accused to undergo treatment for one month starting today and obtain a full psychiatric report,” said Norma, who also fixed Aug 19 for mention of the case.
