Malaysian police can inspect phones of suspects at certain ranks if there's criminal suspicion.

The Inspector-General of Police in Malaysia stated that police officers with the rank of Inspector or higher can inspect a person's mobile phone if there is reasonable suspicion of a crime. This is based on sections of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Communications and Multimedia Act. The checks aim to prevent distribution of obscene content and aid in criminal investigations, must be done prudently, and failing to cooperate could lead to arrest.
