Saifuddin: Decision Made to Return Shuhaily to Police Force
Police say Shuhaily’s future will hinge on a review by the force, the home minister and the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
On Thursday, The Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced that Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain will return to the police force from his secondment to the Malaysian Border Control.
Shuhaily was charged on Oct 21 under Section 323 of the Penal Code following an alleged assault on two Special Branch officers at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Sept 28.
Inspector-General Khalid Ismail stated Shuhaily's status requires a review involving the police, the Home Ministry, and the Attorney-General's Chambers; the Yang di-Pertuan Agong must consent to any changes.
Separately, lawyers representing the two Special Branch officers urged the Attorney-General's Chambers to review a police report regarding an alleged 2015 assault by Shuhaily against a junior officer in Hilir Perak.
Shuhaily has received public support for his anti-corruption stance as former Criminal Investigation Department director, though Saifuddin Nasution indicated the AKPS director-general position would be filled by a police officer.
