Malaysian law enforcement officials have detained a man for posting a Facebook page that allegedly included insults against the state monarch there, according to Bernama, Malaysia's official national news agency.
The 40-year-old man also allegedly was responsible for Facebook postings deemed insulting to the Sultan of Johor, a ceremonial ruler of one of Malaysia's peninsular states.
Authorities arrested the man on November 29 and seized five cell phones, five laptop computers, and a wireless router, Bernama reported.
A top Malaysian law enforcement official said a task force was formed last summer after complaints were lodged about postings on the Facebook page, according to Bernama.
Prosecutors are considering what -- if any -- legal actions to pursue in the case, Bernama said.
