I know this is speculative, but since I was in Kuala Lumpur only 3 weeks ago, and went through their airport screening process, I'll share my experience here.
I went through 2 security screening. First was at the main airport area before taking the express rail link to the departure zone. The second was at the departure zone right before boarding. The security screen was, for a lack of a better word, terrible. I had forgotten my bottle of water and had left it in my bag. Both times I was able to pass security without being asked to get rid of it. It was definitely more than the limit of 100ml. Furthermore, the gate had beeped as I passed through, signaling that I had metal objects with me. I realized I had forgotten my belt and promptly took it off, thinking I'd have to pass through the gate again. TSA just waved me through.
Like I said, it's speculative, I hope this isn't the case of some terror plot, but based on my experience with security, I would not be surprised.
