The Attorney-General's Chambers has denied any involvement in the Home Ministry's decision to return former Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general Shuhaily Zain to the police force.

Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar said the AGC had neither been consulted nor issued any official legal opinion on the matter, which he described as an administrative decision.

“We have not given an official opinion because it has not been referred to the AGC. It is just an administrative action by the Home Ministry, so we will not interfere.

“Whether Shuhaily wants to stay there or be transferred back to the police, we will not interfere. That is more of an administrative matter,” he was quoted as saying by Bernama today.
