Shuhaily yet to receive official transfer letter back to police force

Rafique Rashid Ali, representing Shuhaily Zain, stated that despite reports of the police chief's reassignment, no official transfer letter has been presented to his client. The absence of formal documentation has raised questions about the administrative process governing the high-profile appointment.
Shuhaily, who currently serves as director-general of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (AKPS), has been at the centre of speculation regarding a potential return to the Royal Malaysia Police. However, the lack of official communication has created uncertainty about the timeline and details of any such transfer.
Rafique has formally requested that the Ministry of Home Affairs provide clarity on Shuhaily's current status and the procedures being followed. The request underscores the importance of transparent administrative processes in high-level government appointments.
The development comes as Malaysia's law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies continue to navigate leadership transitions and institutional changes. Officials at the Home Ministry have not yet responded publicly to the lawyer's request for clarification.
