Border Agency Chief Mohd Shuhaily To Face Court Charges Wednesday Over Alleged Assault On Policemen

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 – Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) Director-General Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain confirmed he will appear at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, to face charges involving the alleged assault of two police personnel.

Speaking on Tuesday, October 20, Mohd Shuhaily stated that he was fully prepared to submit to the judicial process and accept any outcome handed down by the court.

“As I have said before, bringing about changes to improve Malaysia’s borders comes at a price, and that price is myself,” Mohd Shuhaily remarked, while expressing gratitude to the public for their continued support throughout his tenure.

The charges follow a viral video showing Mohd Shuhaily confronting two individuals at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 during an incident on September 28. He subsequently left any administrative or legal determination to the government.

Key investigative background and statutory aspects surrounding the upcoming court proceeding include:

• Statutory Offence Charged: The case was investigated by Bukit Aman’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which governs voluntarily causing hurt.
