  "account": "Former policeman Saifuddin Abdul Kader has requested Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar to review a 2015 police report alleging he was assaulted by former Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency chief Shuhaily Zain. Saifuddin's lawyers, Kamal Hisham Ja'afar and Nor Tamrin, submitted a formal request to the AG, stating there had been no action taken against Shuhaily in connection with the complaint. The former police chief, who was Hilir Perak police chief at the time, allegedly scolded Saifuddin after the latter failed to salute him, hit him on the shoulder, and threatened to reassign him to Sabah or Sarawak. Following the report, Saifuddin faced dismissal from the force, leading to his current appeal for a review to uphold the rule of law without discrimination.",
