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, Khalid Ismail, has revealed that the police force is awaiting legal counsel from the Attorney-General's Chambers before determining Shuhaily Zain's reintegration into the force after his stint at the Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS). According to Ismail, the consent of the Sultan of Malaysia, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, is required for Shuhaily's premature departure from his AKPS director-general role.
Shuhaily was initially appointed for a two-year term on July 1 of last year. Once he returns to the police force, the Public Services Commission (SPA) will consider the subsequent course of action, stated Ismail. The home minister, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, confirmed the ministry's decision to return Shuhaily to the police force upon the expiration of his AKPS secondment. On October 21, Shuhaily was charged with assaulting two police personnel at KLIA, allegations for which he has pleaded not guilty.
