LUMUT, Nov 14 — The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) continues to operate as usual nationwide...
The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) is continuing its operations without disruption, according to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution. The decision to return AKPS director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will not impact the agency's functioning, as the transfer is scheduled and administrative matters will be handled by the relevant agency.
Saifuddin assured the public that AKPS plays a crucial role in border control and protection, emphasizing that the agency must continue its operations despite the transfer. The Home Ministry secretary-general, Datuk Dr Awang Alik Jeman, has been directed to closely monitor the agency's management. In the meantime, AKPS personnel have been effective in thwarting smuggling attempts, with recent arrests made on October 29.
The Home Ministry has allocated RM600,000 for improvement and maintenance projects under the Madani Adopted Village and Madani Adopted School initiatives, benefiting 33 villages across four locations.
