Two cops sue Shuhaily over alleged KLIA assault

Two Malaysian policemen have filed a lawsuit against Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, the director-general of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA), alleging that he assaulted them at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in September. The lawsuit, filed at the Sepang Sessions Court, alleges that Shuhaily headbutted one officer four times and violently shook the head of the other.

The officers claim they were performing their duties as Travel Control Officers (TCO) when Shuhaily allegedly became furious after learning they were Special Branch officers monitoring MCBA activities. They are seeking damages for false imprisonment, assault, battery, and defamation.
