No order to step down: Shuhaily to remain on duty after claiming trial to assaulting Special Branch cops

Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, director-general of the Malaysian Checkpoints and Borders Agency, will continue his duties unless instructed otherwise by the government, as no formal interdictions have been issued against him.

His lawyer, Datuk Rosal Azimin Ahmad, highlighted that any decision about Shuhaily's service is pending further instructions from the Public Service Department.

Shuhaily faces two charges under Section 323 of the Penal Code for allegedly assaulting two police officers, with a bail set at RM3,000.

The case, stemming from an incident at KLIA Terminal 1, has gained significant public attention.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — Malaysian Checkpoints and Borders Agency (MCBA) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain will remain at his post and carry out his duties as normal unless directed otherwise by the government, his legal team confirmed today.

Speaking to reporters outside the Sepang Sessions and Magistrates’ Court Complex, lawyer Datuk Rosal Azimin Ahmad said no official instructions or interdictions have been issued by administrative authorities barring his client from continuing as a senior civil servant.

Rosal clarified that any formal determination regarding Shuhaily’s service status rests entirely in the hands of the Public Service Department and central government leadership, Berita Harian reported.

“So far, in the absence of any directive, he will continue performing his duties as usual,” he said during a press conference following the morning court proceedings.

Touching on the bail hearing, Rosal revealed that the magistrate set bail at RM1,500 for each charge with one surety, amounting to a combined RM3,000.

The court fixed Nov 25 for next case mention. Rosal noted that the defence is awaiting the complete bundle of prosecution documents under Section 51A of the Criminal Procedure Code before deciding whether to submit formal representations to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

Commenting on Shuhaily’s disposition, the lawyer said the 54-year-old enforcement chief remains calm and prepared to see the legal process through to its conclusion.

“He accepts what has happened and does not blame anyone,” he said.

Earlier in the morning, Shuhaily claimed trial to two counts under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt to Lance Corporal Mohammad Faiz Muhamad Saman, 40, and Lance Corporal Muhammad Ekmal Sofwan Driman. If convicted, the minor assault charge carries a penalty of up to one year in prison, a maximum fine of RM2,000, or both.

The prosecution stems from a confrontation on Sept 28 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, which drew intense public scrutiny after video footage went viral showing a senior official matching Shuhaily’s likeness rebuking two Special Branch travel control officers, with one of them appearing to be pulled by the ear.

马来西亚边境检查站和边境机构总监拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利莫哈末扎因将继续履行职责，除非政府另有指示，因为目前尚未对他发出正式的禁令。

他的律师拿督罗萨尔·阿兹敏·艾哈迈德强调，关于舒海利服役的任何决定都需等待公共服务部门的进一步指示。

舒海利因涉嫌袭击两名警员，面临《刑法》第 323 条规定的两项指控，保释金定为 3000 令吉。

这起事件源于吉隆坡国际机场1号航站楼，引起了公众的广泛关注。

吉隆坡，10月21日讯——马来西亚边境检查站及边境机构（MCBA）总监拿督斯里莫哈末·舒海利·莫哈末·扎因的法律团队今天证实，除非政府另有指示，否则他将继续留任并正常履行职责。

律师拿督罗萨尔·阿兹敏·艾哈迈德在雪邦地方法院大楼外接受记者采访时表示，行政当局尚未发布任何正式指示或禁令，禁止他的当事人继续担任高级公务员。

据《每日新闻》报道，罗萨尔澄清说，任何关于舒海利服役状态的正式决定完全取决于公共服务部门和中央政府领导层。

“目前，在没有任何指示的情况下，他将继续照常履行职责，”他在上午庭审结束后举行的新闻发布会上说。

谈到保释听证会，罗莎尔透露，地方法官对每项指控设定了 1500 令吉的保释金，并要求一名担保人，总计 3000 令吉。

法院将下次案件提审日期定于11月25日。罗萨尔指出，辩方正在等待根据《刑事诉讼法》第51A条规定提交完整的检方文件，之后才会决定是否向总检察署提交正式陈述。

律师在评论舒海利的态度时表示，这位 54 岁的执法主管仍然保持冷静，并准备将法律程序进行到底。

他说：“他接受已经发生的事情，不责怪任何人。”

当天早些时候，舒海利否认了根据《刑法》第323条提出的两项指控，即故意伤害40岁的下士穆罕默德·法伊兹·穆罕默德·萨曼和下士穆罕默德·埃克马尔·索夫万·德里曼。如果罪名成立，这项轻微袭击罪最高可判处一年监禁，并处罚金2000令吉，或两者并罚。

此次起诉源于 9 月 28 日在吉隆坡国际机场 (KLIA) 1 号航站楼发生的一起冲突。一段视频在网上疯传，视频中一名与舒海利相貌相似的高级官员斥责了两名特别部门的旅行管制人员，其中一名官员似乎被揪住了耳朵，此事因此引起了公众的强烈关注。
