AKPS chief Shuhaily’s tenure referred to AGC and Agong, says IGP

Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, the Chief of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), is facing legal scrutiny regarding his tenure, according to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail. The matter has been forwarded to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for legal guidance before any decision on truncating or terminating his two-year posting is made.
This referral is due to the unique nature of Shuhaily's assignment, which was a formal cadre secondment from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), granted the King's consent. Inspector-General Ismail explained that the referral is essential as the assignment had been formally consented to by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The IGP stated that any decision on suspension or termination will be dependent on the AGC's advice, ensuring compliance with contractual stipulations and avoiding interference with royal prerogative.
Once the AGC completes its review and the King decides on Shuhaily's secondment status, he will return to the police force for internal administrative action. Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar confirmed that the case's management is under the federal administrative leadership of the Home Ministry and the police high command, directing all procedural inquiries to senior police leadership.
