SEPANG: Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain was charged at the Magistrate’s Court here on Wednesday with two counts of causing injury to two police personnel.
Mohd Shuhaily, 54, pleaded not guilty after both charges were read out before Magistrate Khairatul Animah Jelani.
The charges were brought under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of one year or a fine of up to RM2,000, or both.
Mohd Shuhaily is accused of voluntarily causing injury to Mohamad Faiz Saman between 1.27 pm and 1.35 pm on Sept 28 at Counter J, Level 5, Terminal 1 of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) here.
He is also accused of intentionally causing injury to Muhammad Ekmal Sofwan Dirman at the same location and time.
Deputy public prosecutors Shahrizat Ismail, Datuk Ahmad Sazali Omar, Nor Azizah Aling and Nur Aqiilah Ahmad Rofaie conducted the prosecution.
Mohd Shuhaily was represented by lawyers Datuk Rosal Azimin Ahmad, Datuk Yaacob Md Sam, Datuk Dr Baljit Singh Sidhu, Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Zainal, Md Yunos Shariff, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali and Kitson Foong.
Foong applied for bail of RM1,000 for his client, while Shahrizat sought bail of RM5,000 for Mohd Shuhaily, with a condition that he must not interfere with the victims.
Khairatul Animah subsequently granted bail of RM1,500 for each charge, with one surety, and fixed Nov 25 for mention of the case and the submission of documents.
The magistrate also ordered Mohd Shuhaily to attend every hearing in the case.
