MELAKA (Nov 14): Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain continues to perform his duties as usual as no further instructions have been issued regarding his position.
Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said the police had yet to receive any further instructions on whether Mohd Shuhaily would be returned to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM).
“As I have explained before, Datuk Seri Shuhaily is a police officer who is serving a two-year contract as the AKPS director general.
“His appointment was made by the King. Therefore, I am awaiting further instructions should he be returned to the PDRM for further action. So far, no such instructions have been received,” he said at a press conference after visiting the polling centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan Tun Syed Ahmad Shahabudin in Ayer Keroh here on Saturday.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail was repoted to have said earlier on Saturday that the ministry had yet to decide on the appointment of a new AKPS director general to replace Mohd Shuhaily.
He was reported as saying that the ministry had given its assurance that AKPS operations would continue as usual and would not be affected by the decision to return Mohd Shuhaily to his parent organisation, the PDRM.
