KUALA LUMPUR, 5 Oct – The Royal Malaysia Police said it has taken statements from 25 people who were present when the Director‑General of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, was involved in an incident at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on 28 September.

Police Commissioner Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail told a media briefing that investigators have also secured closed‑circuit television (CCTV) footage and medical reports to support the inquiry. “So far we have taken statements from 25 individuals who were present when the incident occurred. At the same time, we have obtained CCTV recordings and doctors’ reports to ensure all matters related to this case can be examined and investigated thoroughly,” he said.
The briefing was held after the launch of the Police Consulting Handbook at Bukit Aman. In explaining the role of the Travel Control Officer (TCO) under the Special Branch, Khalid said the officer is tasked with gathering intelligence, carrying out field duties and maintaining intelligence links as required. He added that whether the officer breached any standard operating procedures (SOP) remains unclear and will require further examination. “Normally, TCO personnel do not breach any SOP.
However, there may be issues within the TCO premises or at KLIA that require tasks to be carried out within their respective jurisdictions,” he said.
Khalid urged the public not to draw conclusions or spread speculation while the investigation is ongoing. “The public should not be swayed by speculation. Let the matter be completed and we will submit the investigation report to the Attorney General in the near future,” he said.
The police’s collection of statements, CCTV evidence and medical documentation signals a comprehensive approach to determining the facts surrounding the incident involving the AKPS chief. The outcome will be handed to the Attorney General’s Chambers for legal review, indicating that any disciplinary or legal action will depend on the final investigative report.
