  "summary": "The Malaysian Home Ministry has decided to leave the decision regarding charged AKPS director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain to the civil service process, according to Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The matter is being handled by the Home Ministry secretary-general and the Chief Secretary to the Government, in accordance with public administration regulations. This comes after Mohd Shuhaily pleaded not guilty to two charges of intentionally causing injuries to police personnel at KLIA on September 28. Despite facing the court case, Mohd Shuhaily's lawyer, Datuk Rosal Azimin Ahmad, stated that his client would continue performing his duties as usual unless there is an administrative directive to the contrary. Opposition MPs have criticized the Home Ministry for failing to act as a mediator in the issue, but Saifuddin accepted the criticism while questioning the ability of opposition leaders to play the role of peacemakers when their own party is facing internal divisions.",
