No discussions yet on Shuhaily’s successor at AKPS, says Saifuddin
The home minister says procedures must be followed for civil servants facing investigations and criminal charges.
Pengawal Malaysia AKPS Shuhaily Zain resumed her role as Chief Secretary of the agency today, despite Minister of Home Affairs Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stating she would return to the police force. In a Facebook post, AKPS announced Shuhaily returned to her duties today after taking a week-long break. The meeting, attended by all AKPS deputy heads and gatekeepers, focused on 2027 Blueprint, particularly in strengthening strategic goals, operational readiness, and national border control and protection effectiveness.
Clearly focused, the work team was well-groomed with a renewed mission underway, said Shuhaily, who was also former head of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department. She was loaned to AKPS as Chief Secretary on July 1 last year. On October 21, Shuhaily was charged in the Majistret Court Sepang for assaulting two police officers at KLIA in September.
She denied the charges. Last Thursday, Home Minister Saifuddin said the ministry had decided to terminate Shuhaily's loan to AKPS and return her to the police force. However, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail later said Shuhaily's two-year service as AKPS chief secretary could only be shortened with the permission of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Khalid also said the police force was awaiting legal advice from the Attorney-General's Department before confirming Shuhaily's return.
