Mohd Shuhaily Warns ‘Traitors’ For Allowing Foreigners To Slip Through Borders

BUKIT KAYU HITAM -- Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general, Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, has issued a stern warning to those he described as ‘traitors’ who allow foreigners to slip into the country. He said the agency has yet to identify those involved in the matter, but has issued a strong warning to his officers not to commit such acts of betrayal. “Do not let me find out that this is happening due to acts of betrayal, as I have warned before… if it still happens, it seems I will have to come here more often to identify who the ‘traitors' are,” he told reporters, here, today. He said this when asked about public concerns over the entry of foreigners into the country through the Bukit Kayu Hitam border. Earlier, he attended the handover-of-duty ceremony for the AKPS Bukit Kayu Hitam commander, between SAC Mohd Nasaruddin M Nasir and SAC Fauzi Mohd Yusuf. Mohd Nasaruddin, from Kota Bharu, Kelantan, who served as AKPS Bukit Kayu Hitam commander from Jan 10, 2025 to March 31, 2026, will assume the post of deputy director-general (Operations) at the AKPS headquarters, while Fauzi, from Taiping, Perak, previously with Bukit Aman’s D3 division, reported for duty as the new AKPS Bukit Kayu Hitam commander, today. Meanwhile, Mohd Shuhaily said that the agency will tighten border controls to curb the smuggling of subsidised goods, following the ongoing conflict in West Asia. “We will work with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), and carry out joint enforcement on this issue,” he said.

Malaysia drops 17 places to 138th in the world

KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's position has plummeted from 121st to 138th in the world in the latest rankings released by the International Football Federation (FIFA). Based on today's latest update, Harimau Malaya, who collected 1,086.22 total points, fell 17 places following a 1-3 defeat to Vietnam in the final Group F match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, yesterday. The sudden decline was also influenced by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) decision to cancel Harimau Malaya's two matches in the previous qualifying campaign against Nepal and Vietnam. Based on the original results, Malaysia beat Nepal 2-0 at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on March 25 last year, in addition to thrashing Vietnam 4-0 at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on June 10 last year. However, on March 17, the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee decided that Malaysia would be declared a 0-3 loser for both matches after Harimau Malaya were found to have fielded ineligible players. The move was made following the document falsification issue involving seven Harimau Malaya players, namely Gabriel Palmero, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Joao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal and Hector Hevel.
