AKPS chief Shuhaily’s tenure referred to AGC and Agong, says IGP

SHAH ALAM, Oct 28 — Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain’s position at the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) has been referred to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for legal guidance before any recommendation to truncate or terminate his tenure is submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said the matter has simultaneously been escalated to the Police Force Commission (SPP) for regulatory review, Berita Harian reported.

Mohd Khalid explained that legal consultation with the AGC is mandatory because Shuhaily's two-year posting to head the border agency was structured as a formal cadre secondment from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) that received the constitutional assent of the King.

“We are referring this matter to the AGC because Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily’s assignment at AKPS is for a period of two years.

“It is like a contract, and this contract was granted the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

“Therefore, should anything arise involving suspension from duty or similar matters, the action to be taken will depend on the AGC’s advice. In any case, any matter concerning termination of the contract and so forth must be submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for consent,” he said.

The IGP spoke to the press on the sidelines of the National Conference on Bureaucratic Red Tape Reform 2026, organised by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), with Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar in attendance.

Mohd Khalid said that legal counsel is vital to ensure that any disciplinary intervention strictly observes contractual stipulations without encroaching on royal prerogative.

Once the AGC concludes its review and the palace decides on his secondment status, Shuhaily will revert to the police force for internal administrative determination.

“Upon his return, I may provide a more detailed explanation of the matters that need to be addressed and the follow-up action to be taken, God willing,” he said.

Concurrently, Shamsul Azri clarified that federal administrative leadership has entrusted the management of the case entirely to the Home Ministry and the police high command.

“As far as the PDRM is concerned, let them handle it first,” he said, directing questions regarding procedural inquiries to senior police leadership.

莎阿南，10月28日讯——拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利莫哈末扎因在马来西亚边境管制和保护局（AKPS）的职位已提交总检察署（AGC）寻求法律指导，之后才会向最高元首提交任何缩短或终止其任期的建议。

据《每日新闻》报道，警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔表示，此事已同时上报警察部队委员会（SPP）进行监管审查。

莫哈末·哈立德解释说，与总检察署进行法律咨询是强制性的，因为舒海利担任边境机构负责人的两年任期是根据马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）的正式干部借调安排的，并获得了国王的宪法批准。

“我们将此事提交总检察署，因为拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利在AKPS的任期为两年。

“这就像一份合同，而这份合同得到了最高元首的同意。”

“因此，如果出现任何涉及停职或类似事项的情况，将视总检察署的建议而定。无论如何，任何有关终止合同等事宜，都必须提交最高元首批准，”他说道。

马来西亚警察总监在马来西亚生产力机构（MPC）主办的2026年全国官僚主义改革大会间隙向媒体发表了讲话，政府首席秘书丹斯里沙姆斯·阿兹里·阿布·巴卡尔出席了会议。

莫哈末·哈立德表示，法律顾问至关重要，以确保任何纪律处分都严格遵守合同规定，而不侵犯王室特权。

一旦总检察署完成审查，并且王室决定舒海利的借调状态，舒海利将返回警队，由警队进行内部行政裁定。

他说：“等他回来后，如果上帝保佑，我可能会对需要解决的问题和后续行动提供更详细的解释。”

与此同时，沙姆苏尔·阿兹里澄清说，联邦行政领导层已将此案的管理完全委托给内政部和警察高层。

“至于马来西亚皇家警察部队，先让他们处理吧，”他说道，并将有关程序性问题转交给了高级警官。
