The Home Ministry has decided to redeploy Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general Shuhaily Zain to the police, where he previously served.

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the decision concerning Shuhaily, who was seconded to MCBA, was made last week.

“He was a police officer seconded to MCBA. So, we are returning him to the police force. The police will decide on his next assignment,” he told reporters at the Home Ministry’s monthly assembly and Innovation Day celebration here today.

Also present were Home Ministry secretary-general Awang Alik Jeman, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency director-general Rosli Abdullah.
