Border agency chief Shuhaily in court over alleged KLIA assault of two Special Branch cops

Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, director-general of Malaysia Checkpoints and Border Agency, appeared at the Sepang Magistrate's Court to face charges of assaulting two Special Branch officers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

The charges, under Section 323 of the Penal Code, relate to an alleged incident captured on a viral video, showing a senior official confronting the officers.

If convicted, Shuhaily could face up to one year in prison, a fine, or both.

The proceedings follow a comprehensive investigation and further legal clarification demanded by prosecutors, amid allegations involving the handling of the incident by the officers at the airport.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — Malaysia Checkpoints and Border Agency (MCBA) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain arrived at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court this morning to face two charges of assault linked to an altercation with two Special Branch officers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Security was tight across the court grounds, with an augmented contingent of police and Rela personnel restricting compound vehicle access strictly to authorised court staff and law enforcement officers, NST reported.

Dressed in a dark suit, the 54-year-old border agency chief appeared calm and composed upon his arrival. He made a stop at the court cafeteria for breakfast ahead of the proceedings, warmly extending an invitation to waiting press photographers and reporters to join him.

Lending a show of solidarity at the court complex was Port Klang MCBA commander Datuk Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal.

Shuhaily is set to face two counts of voluntarily causing hurt under Section 323 of the Penal Code for allegedly striking Lance Corporals Mohammad Faiz Muhamad Saman, 40, and Muhammad Ekmal Sofwan Driman.

If convicted, the offence is punishable by a prison term of up to one year, a maximum fine of RM2,000, or both. Criminal defence lawyer Kitson Foong is appearing for Shuhaily.

The charges stem from a high-profile confrontation at KLIA Terminal 1 on Sept 28, which thrust the agency into the spotlight after mobile footage went viral online. The clip appeared to capture a senior official matching Shuhaily’s likeness berating two men at the terminal, with one of the officers seemingly grabbed forcefully by the ears.

Following the viral uproar, Shuhaily publicly said on Oct 1 that he was prepared to bear full responsibility and accept whatever determination the government reached regarding the episode.

The case progressed to court following an intensive review between investigators and the prosecution. Police initially recorded statements from 25 witnesses before submitting the investigation papers to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC).

Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar returned the dossier on Oct 8 for supplementary work, leading Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail to confirm on Oct 17 that prosecutors had demanded further clarification before framing charges.

The legal fallout widened on Oct 12 when Faiz lodged a follow-up police report through his lawyers, Kamal Hisham Ja’afar and Muhammad Nor Tamrin. The report claimed new evidence, alleging that his smartphone was confiscated while he attempted to photograph the airport dispute.

The two Special Branch personnel, deployed as travel control officers at the international gateway, have strenuously rejected suggestions that they were touting or facilitating “counter setting” syndicates to bypass immigration controls.

马来西亚边境检查站及边境机构总监拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利莫哈末扎因在雪邦地方法庭出庭，面临在吉隆坡国际机场袭击两名特别部门官员的指控。

根据《刑法》第 323 条，这些指控与一段疯传的视频中记录的一起事件有关，视频显示一名高级官员与警员对峙。

如果罪名成立，舒海利可能面临最高一年的监禁、罚款或两者并罚。

此次诉讼是在检察官要求进行全面调查和进一步法律澄清之后进行的，起因是机场警员在处理这起事件时存在不当行为。

吉隆坡，10 月 21 日讯——马来西亚关卡和边境机构（MCBA）总监拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利莫哈末扎因今早抵达雪邦地方法庭，面临两项与吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）两名特别部门官员发生争执有关的袭击指控。

据《新海峡时报》报道，法院周围安保严密，增派了警力和志愿警卫队人员，严格限制院内车辆通行，只有授权的法院工作人员和执法人员才能进入。

这位54岁的边境管理局局长身着深色西装，抵达时显得沉着冷静。庭审开始前，他先到法院餐厅享用早餐，并热情地邀请等候的媒体摄影师和记者与他一同用餐。

巴生港MCBA指挥官拿督尼克·伊扎尼·莫哈末·费萨尔在法院大楼前表示声援。

舒海利将面临两项根据《刑法》第 323 条故意伤害罪的指控，据称他殴打了 40 岁的下士穆罕默德·法伊兹·穆罕默德·萨曼和穆罕默德·埃克马尔·索夫万·德里曼。

如果罪名成立，该罪行可判处最高一年监禁、最高2000令吉罚款，或两者并罚。刑事辩护律师冯杰森(Kitson Foong)将代表舒海利(Shuhaily)出庭。

这些指控源于9月28日吉隆坡国际机场1号航站楼发生的一起备受瞩目的冲突，一段手机拍摄的视频在网上疯传后，该机构迅速成为舆论焦点。视频显示，一名与舒海利相貌相符的高级官员正在航站楼内斥责两名男子，其中一名男子的耳朵似乎被对方用力揪住。

在舆论哗然之后，舒海利于10月1日公开表示，他准备承担全部责任，并接受政府就此事作出的任何决定。

经过调查人员和检方的深入审查，此案最终提交法院审理。警方最初记录了25名证人的证词，之后将调查文件提交给了总检察署。

总检察长丹斯里莫哈末杜苏基莫克塔尔于 10 月 8 日退回案卷，要求补充工作，导致内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁纳苏蒂安·伊斯梅尔于 10 月 17 日证实，检察官要求在提出指控前提供进一步的澄清。

10月12日，法伊兹通过其律师卡迈勒·希沙姆·贾法尔和穆罕默德·诺尔·塔姆林向警方提交了一份后续报告，导致法律纠纷进一步扩大。该报告声称掌握了新的证据，并指控法伊兹在试图拍摄机场纠纷时，其智能手机被警方没收。

这两名被部署在国际口岸担任旅行管制官员的特别部门人员强烈否认了他们鼓吹或协助“反制”犯罪集团绕过移民管制的说法。
