===Malaysia===
In Malaysia, citizens band radios became legal when the "Notification of Issuance Of Class Assignments" by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia was published on 1&nbsp;April 2000. Under this class assignment, a CB radio is classified as a "Personal Radio Service device". The frequency band is HF, 26.9650&nbsp;MHz to 27.4050&nbsp;MHz (40 channels), power output is 4&nbsp;watts for AM and FM and 12&nbsp;watts PEP for SSB. Channel&nbsp;9 is reserved for emergencies, and channel&nbsp;11 is a calling channel. On UHF 477&nbsp;MHz, citizens band PRS radio devices are allowed 5 watts power output on FM on 39&nbsp;assigned channels spaced at 12.5&nbsp;kHz intervals from 477.0125 to 477.4875&nbsp;MHz. Channel&nbsp;9 is reserved for emergencies, and channel&nbsp;11 for calling. A short-range [[Simplex communication|simplex]] radio communications service for recreational use is from 477.5250 to 477.9875&nbsp;MHz FM mode with 38&nbsp;channels and a power output of 500&nbsp;mW. A CB radio or Personal Radio Service Device under Class Assignment does not need an individual license to operate in Malaysia if it adheres to the rules of the ''Warta Kerajaan Malaysia''<ref>{{cite book |series=Communication and Multimedia Act |year=1998 |id=Act 588 |title=Notification of Issuance Of Class Assignment |at=P.U.(B) 416 Jil.&nbsp;48, No.&nbsp;22(e) |chapter=Personal Radio Service Device |access-date=1 November 2004 |chapter-url=http://www.skmm.gov.my/link_file/registers/cma/ClassAssignment/pdf/Class%20Assign-BI-register.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101130012827/http://skmm.gov.my/link_file/registers/cma/ClassAssignment/pdf/Class%20Assign-BI-register.pdf |archive-date=2010-11-30 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
