  "summary": "A Special Branch policeman, Lance Corporal Mohammad Faiz Muhamad Saman, has lodged a fresh report with new evidence alleging that he was assaulted by Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain. Faiz claims he was using his mobile phone to photograph an incident at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 when his device was confiscated, leading to his wrongful detention, manhandling, assault, and intimidation. His lawyers, Kamal Hisham Ja’afar and Muhammad Nor Tamrin, argue that the incident could constitute offences under the Penal Code, including obstructing a public servant, causing hurt, using criminal force, assault with intent to dishonour, and criminal intimidation. The lawyers also stated they are considering legal action against parties disseminating statements targeting their firm and clients, warning that fabricating such allegations could constitute criminal offences under Section 505 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.",
