It would be interesring yo know which law the former king was breaking... and whether that same breach still applies if he is no longer king (but still sultan).
Developments in Malaysia.
Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang has abdicated and his son Tengku Abdullah, is the next Sultan of Pahang and he sworn on 15 January before the Conference of Rulers on 24 January. That way he will be able to be elected as the next King of Malaysia according reports.

Three people have been arrested for allegedly insulting Kelantan's Sultan Muhammad V after he stepped down as the country's King, or Yang di-Pertuan Agong, in comments posted on Facebook
[…]
Critics say the arrests contradict the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition's promise to abolish the controversial Act that critics say muzzles freedom of speech.
Earlier yesterday, Malaysia's de facto Law Minister Liew Vui Keong said the government will seek to enact new laws and amend existing ones to protect the Malay rulers from slander, the official Bernama news agency reported.
[…]
Comments that are currently deemed by law to be seditious include those that "create discontent or disaffection among the subjects of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong or of the ruler of any state".
Offenders can be fined up to RM5,000 (S$1,650) or jailed for up to three years, or both.
[…]
Current penalties for certain offences against the monarchy were too lenient, [Mr Liew] was cited by the Bernama news agency as saying.

Very interesting development. Had they not done so, I would have expected the current deputy king (i.e., the sultan of Perak) to be the next king. With this move Pahang tries to secure the throne (as the now former sultan would not have been elected; otherwise they would have been made deputy king a few years ago); they at least have the support of the sultan of Johor (next in rotation after Pahang - he will most likely hope to be elected as deputy king), the new sultan's brother-in-law.
For those who can read Dutch or don't mind using Google Translate: Royalblog provides a good read on this topic.

It's still a bit weird to read about a Dutch guy named Dennis Verbaas to now be referred to as 'Dennis Muhammad Abdullah'. At least he was allowed to keep his first name.
STATEMENT ON RUMOURS ABOUT TUNKU TUN AMINAH’S MARRIAGE
The recent spate of rumours circulating on social media regarding HH Tunku Tun Aminah’s marriage to Encik Dennis Muhammad Abdullah being on the rocks are malicious and untrue.
The Johor Royal Family are upset that irresponsible parties are spreading these baseless rumours about their personal lives.
In a statement to the Royal Press Office, HH Tunku Aminah voiced her displeasure at rumours circulating on social media about her marriage as well as alleged ‘business dealings’ with skincare and slimming products.
“My husband and I are happy, contrary to what the rumours say.
“I have also not endorsed any product as written by these unscrupulous people who are out to use my name in order to get attention,” she said.
Complaints lodged with Facebook have also not been acted upon promptly.
The Johor Royal Family hopes that immediate action will be taken by Facebook to take down the malicious content, in line with the company’s pledge to ensure fake news is dealt with sternly
