‘If the price is me, I’ll pay it’: Border agency chief Shuhaily ready to face action over viral KLIA incident

Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, Director-General of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), expressed his willingness to accept any governmental actions related to a viral video from Kuala Lumpur International Airport depicting him in a confrontational situation.

Acknowledging responsibility for the incident, Shuhaily emphasized his intent to face consequences and expressed hope that any decisions would not negatively impact AKPS personnel, highlighting their vital role in national security.

The incident occurred during an enforcement operation addressing issues such as foreign tout syndicates and increased contraband at the airport.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 1 — Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said he was prepared to accept any action taken by the government over a viral video from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), saying he would take responsibility for what happened.

“I have informed the highest levels of the government and also the ministry about this matter. Therefore, whatever decision they make, I will accept it,” he said, according to Utusan Malaysia .

“For me, changing something comes at a price. If that price is myself, then I will pay it with myself.”

Shuhaily was responding to footage circulated on social media that appeared to show a man resembling him angrily confronting another individual at KLIA and holding the person’s head in a forceful manner.

A purported account from an individual claiming to have been manhandled by Shuhaily has also circulated online.

Shuhaily said he did not consider himself perfect and was prepared to face any consequences arising from the incident.

“I stand before all of you to face and take responsibility for what has happened,” he said.

He expressed hope that any decision taken by the government regarding him would not affect AKPS personnel, whom he described as the backbone of efforts to strengthen security at the country’s entry points.

Explaining the circumstances surrounding the incident, Shuhaily said he and other officers had been carrying out a limited enforcement operation on Level Five of KLIA after inspecting AKPS preparations for an expected increase in travellers ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 race.

“The enforcement operation was also carried out following complaints about the activities of a foreign tout syndicate, as well as an increase in the discovery of drugs and contraband at baggage screening areas,” he said.

“During the operation, a foreign national believed to be involved in the tout syndicate was detained before being taken to the baggage inspection room.”

Shuhaily said two unidentified individuals then appeared and began filming while officers were interviewing the foreign national.

“When my officers approached them and brought them forward to see what had been recorded, they were instructed to delete the footage,” he said.

“I gave the strongest warning that the enforcement operation at the time involved only AKPS officers together with KLIA Aviation Security (AVSEC).”

马来西亚边境管制和保护局（AKPS）总监拿督斯里莫哈末舒海利莫哈末扎因表示，他愿意接受政府就吉隆坡国际机场一段疯传的视频采取的任何行动，该视频显示他处于对抗状态。

舒海利承认对该事件负有责任，强调他愿意承担后果，并表示希望任何决定都不会对AKPS人员产生负面影响，强调了他们在国家安全中发挥的重要作用。

该事件发生在一次执法行动中，该行动旨在解决外国黄牛集团和机场违禁品泛滥等问题。

布城，10月1日讯——马来西亚边境管制与保护局（AKPS）总监拿督斯里莫哈末·舒海利·莫哈末·扎因表示，他准备接受政府就吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）一段疯传的视频采取的任何行动，并表示他将对所发生的事情承担责任。

据《马来西亚前锋报》报道，他说：“我已经将此事告知了政府最高层和相关部门。因此，无论他们做出什么决定，我都会接受。”

“对我而言，改变是要付出代价的。如果这个代价是牺牲我自己，那么我甘愿付出代价。”

舒海利的回应源于社交媒体上流传的一段视频，视频中一名与他相貌相似的男子在吉隆坡国际机场愤怒地与另一人对峙，并用力抓住对方的头部。

网上还流传着一份据称是某人声称遭到舒海利粗暴对待的描述。

舒海利表示，他不认为自己是完美的，并已做好准备承担此次事件可能带来的任何后果。

“我站在这里，是为了面对并承担所发生的一切的责任，”他说。

他表示希望政府就他做出的任何决定都不会影响AKPS人员，他称这些人员是加强该国入境点安全工作的中坚力量。

舒海利在解释事件经过时表示，他和一些警员在检查吉隆坡国际机场机场安保公司（AKPS）为应对本周末一级方程式赛车比赛预计带来的旅客增加所做的准备工作后，对吉隆坡国际机场五楼进行了有限的执法行动。

他说：“此次执法行动也是由于接到有关外国黄牛团伙活动的投诉，以及在行李安检区查获毒品和违禁品数量增加而展开的。”

“行动中，一名据信参与黄牛团伙的外国公民被拘留，随后被带到行李检查室。”

舒海利说，随后两名身份不明的人出现，并在警员讯问这名外国公民时开始拍摄。

他说：“当我的警员上前询问并带他们查看录像内容时，他们被指示删除录像。”

“我曾发出最严厉的警告，当时的执法行动仅涉及 AKPS 官员和吉隆坡国际机场航空安保 (AVSEC) 人员。”
