Kuala Lumpur:The director-general of the Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS), Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, has returned to his duties at the agency, after reportedly being on leave last week.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mohd Shuhaily commenced his responsibilities by leading the 'Commander's Call' Meeting No. 3/2026. This meeting convened senior officers and commanders of AKPS from all entry points to discuss the '2027 Deployment Plan' (Gerak Atur 2027), focusing on enhancing strategic direction, operational readiness, and the efficacy of national border control.

The AKPS reiterated its dedication to improving operational efficiency, integrity, and security at the country's entry points. The agency's official Facebook page featured six photographs of Mohd Shuhaily presiding over the meeting with top leadership, including AKPS deputy director-general (operations), Datuk Mohd Nasaruddin M Nasir; deputy director-general (policy), Zuraini Othman; and Port Klang Commander, Datuk Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal.

Previously, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced that the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) had decided for Mohd Shuhaily to return to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). Mohd Shuhaily's appointment as the director-general of AKPS is set for a two-year term, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

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