IGP says ex-border control chief Shuhaily’s PDRM comeback hinges on AGC advice and royal consent

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — The new assignment of Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain in the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will only be determined after obtaining the consent of His Majesty, Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia to allow his tenure as Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general to be ended prematurely.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said Mohd Shuhaily’s appointment to the post had previously received the consent of His Majesty, as he is a police cadre officer.

In this regard, he said PDRM was awaiting legal advice from the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) before an official letter could be submitted to the King to seek consent for Mohd Shuhaily’s return to the police force.

“Until that consent is granted, I am still waiting. So, I cannot confirm his new assignment status, but he will certainly return to PDRM because he is a police officer,” he told reporters at the 2026 Malaysian Ex-Police Association’s Jasamu Dikenang Dinner held at Kingston Hotel @ Bukit Jalil here tonight.

Commenting further on the duties and follow-up action involving Mohd Shuhaily after his return to PDRM, Mohd Khalid said no decision had been made so far.

“Once he returns to me, we will then consider the next course of action based on the Public Services Commission (SPA). We are civil servants, and all disciplinary matters are subject to the SPA and the Police Force Commission,” he said.

Yesterday, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed that his ministry had decided last week to return Mohd Shuhaily to PDRM after his secondment to AKPS ended, while leaving the determination of his new assignment to the police leadership.

Mohd Shuhaily was appointed AKPS Director-General for a two-year term from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

On October 21, Mohd Shuhaily pleaded not guilty at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court to two charges of causing injury to two police personnel at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on September 28. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10月31日讯——拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利·莫哈末·扎因在马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）的新职务，只有在获得马来西亚最高元首苏丹易卜拉欣陛下的同意，允许其提前结束马来西亚边境管制和保护机构（AKPS）总监的任期后才能确定。

警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔表示，莫哈末·舒海利此前已被任命为该职位，因为他是一名警队干部，并已获得国王陛下的同意。

在这方面，他表示，马来西亚皇家警察正在等待总检察署的法律意见，之后才能向国王提交正式信函，寻求同意莫哈末·舒海利重返警队。

“在获得批准之前，我仍在等待。因此，我无法确认他的新任务安排，但他肯定会回到马来西亚皇家警察部队，因为他是一名警官，”他今晚在吉隆坡武吉加里尔金斯顿酒店举行的2026年马来西亚前警察协会“Jasamu Dikenang”晚宴上告诉记者。

关于莫哈末·舒海利重返马来西亚皇家警察部队后的职责和后续行动，莫哈末·哈立德进一步评论说，目前尚未做出任何决定。

“他回来后，我们会根据公共服务委员会（SPA）的规定考虑下一步行动。我们是公务员，所有纪律问题都受公共服务委员会和警察部队委员会的管辖，”他说。

昨天，内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安·伊斯梅尔证实，他的部门上周已决定在莫哈末·舒海利结束在AKPS的借调后将其送回马来西亚皇家警察部队，而将其新的任务安排留给了警察领导层。

Mohd Shuhaily被任命为AKPS总监，任期两年，从2025年7月1日至2027年6月30日。
