King’s consent needed before Shuhaily returns to police, says IGP
IGP Khalid Ismail says the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is needed for Shuhaily Zain's tenure as border agency chief to be ended prematurely.
Kuala Lumpur: The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Khalid Ismail, has stated that the police force is awaiting legal advice from the Attorney-General's Chambers regarding the return of Shuhaily Zain to the force from his secondment at the Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS). The charge against Shuhaily, which stems from an alleged assault on two policemen at KLIA on September 28, prompted this legal review.
The Inspector-General clarified that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's consent, Sultan Ibrahim, would be necessary for Shuhaily's premature termination of his two-year appointment as AKPS director-general. Appointed for this term since July 1 of the previous year, Shuhaily has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Following his return to the police force, the Public Services Commission (SPA) will be consulted to determine the subsequent actions, as all disciplinary matters are subject to the SPA and the Police Force Commission, according to the IGP.
