Kuala Lumpur, 20 October 2026 – Malaysia’s Attorney General has confirmed that Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency director-general Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain is due to be charged at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court on 21 October.

The confirmed development is the Attorney General’s statement that charges will be filed; the allegations have not been adjudicated, and Mohd Shuhaily is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
