KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain remains the Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general as he has yet to receive any official letter or directive on his purported return to the police force.

His lawyer, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, said Shuhaily was entitled to continue discharging his duties until the transfer process was formally completed.

He said Shuhail continued carrying out his responsibilities as usual, including chairing agency meetings.

"He has yet to receive any official directive or letter, so he continues to discharge his duties as he still holds the authority as the director-general.
