by several news outlets that the Royal Malaysian Police have the right to check phones of civilians. Apparently, this is to ensure that it doesn’t contain obscene or offensive material as well as content that can threaten national security. The report was based on Deputy Home Minister Datuk Mohd Azis Jamman’s response to Alor Setar MP, Chan Ming Kai in Parliament.
The Deputy Minister had said that individuals must also be aware of their rights during a random check of their phones including requesting the identity of the police officer that is conducting the search. When he was asked if there were any reports of violation of standard operating procedures, Azis Jamman said that members of the public should report the matter to the nearest police station or to the headquarters at Bukit Aman.
