Mohd Shuhaily's fate as AKPS chief remains undecided

THE future of Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain remains uncertain, with the police yet to receive instructions on his possible return to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said Mohd Shuhaily, who is serving a two-year contract as AKPS director-general, continues to discharge his duties pending further instructions.

“As I explained previously, Datuk Seri Shuhaily is a police officer serving a two-year contract as AKPS director-general.

“His appointment was made by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. I am therefore awaiting further instructions should he be returned to PDRM for the necessary action. So far, no such instructions have been received,” he said.

He was speaking at a press conference after visiting the polling centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan Tun Syed Ahmad Shahabudin in Ayer Keroh today.

Earlier, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail was reported as saying that the government had yet to decide on the appointment of a new AKPS director-general to replace Mohd Shuhaily.

He also gave assurances that AKPS operations would continue uninterrupted despite the decision to return Mohd Shuhaily to his parent organisation, PDRM. - November 14, 2026
