Ex-cop seeks A-G's intervention over 2015 assault complaint against Shuhaily
KUALA LUMPUR: A former policeman has sought the Attorney-General’s intervention to revive an assault complaint lodged against Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain in 2015.
Former police officer Saifuddin Abdul Kader has requested the attorney-general to reconsider a 2015 police report, alleging that he was assaulted by then-Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency chief Shuhaily Zain. Saifuddin's lawyers, Kamal Hisham Ja’afar and Nor Tamrin, submitted a formal request to Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar for the report to be reevaluated, as no action was taken against Shuhaily in connection with the complaint.
Saifuddin faced dismissal from the force after lodging the report, which claimed that Shuhaily scolded him for not saluting him at a guard post, physically assaulted him, and threatened to reassign him to Sabah or Sarawak. The recent charges against Shuhaily for allegedly assaulting two police officers have given Saifuddin hope that justice can still be pursued 11 years after the alleged incident.
The lawyers have appealed for the case to be reviewed and reconsidered to uphold the rule of law without discrimination.
