Shuhaily yet to get letter of transfer to police force, says lawyer
Rafique Rashid Ali says home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail must clarify Shuhaily Zain’s status.
Former head of Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department, Shuhaily Zain, has not received an official letter of transfer from the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) to the police force, according to his lawyer. Rafique Rashid Ali stated that Shuhaily is still authorized to perform his duties as director-general of AKPS until he receives such an official directive.
Rafique advised the home minister, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, to clarify Shuhaily's current status following the minister's initial announcement about the transfer, which has created confusion. Shuhaily pleaded not guilty in October to charges of assaulting two policemen at KLIA in September. Saifuddin confirmed earlier that the ministry intended to end Shuhaily's secondment to AKPS and bring him back to the police force.
However, Shuhaily returned to his duties at AKPS on Monday, chairing a commanders meeting after being reported as "on leave" the previous week.
