Menteri serah kedudukan Shuhaily kepada KSU, KSN

The Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Affairs (KDN) has transferred responsibilities related to Shuhaily Zain's position as the Director-General of the Malaysia Border and Protection Agency (AKPS) to the Deputy Director-General and National Chief. KDN Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated that the matter is being handled by both parties in accordance with existing public administration regulations.

The transfer is taking place while the minister attended the National Registration Day (HPN) 78 celebrations, the launch of the 2026 National Registration and Madani Village (KAM) and Madani School (SAM) at the National Registration Department (JPN) in Kulai, Johor. Saifuddin expressed openness to criticism from the opposition parliamentarian who accused him of not being a mediator in the issue linking AKPS and the police.

However, he questioned the ability of the opposition leader to mediate when his own party faces division, including conflicts between supporters of Muhyiddin Yassin and Hamzah Zainudin. The opposition parliamentarian also questioned Saifuddin's ability to handle the ministry as a minister in domestic affairs when faced with a conflict involving Shuhaily and two police officers injured at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on September 28.

The opposition parliamentarian hoped that Saifuddin's handling of the matter would be reconsidered in the 2027 budget speech. Shuhaily previously admitted to not being guilty of two charges of intentionally causing injury to police officers Faiz Saman and Ekmal Sofwan Dirman at KLIA on September 28.
