KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 3, 2025 — The Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) is intensifying efforts to fortify Malaysia’s border security through the establishment of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) under the MADANI Reform agenda.
The appointment of YDH CP Dato’ Sri Mohd Shuhaily bin Mohd Zain as the new Director-General of AKPS marks a pivotal step in advancing the MADANI vision. With extensive experience and authoritative leadership, he is poised to enhance border control measures, aligning with MADANI’s focus on security, transparency, and efficient border management. KDN warmly welcomes his appointment, confident that under his leadership, AKPS will achieve new heights in securing the nation’s borders.
Key initiatives have already yielded significant improvements at entry points:
- Waiting times at BSI and KSAB reduced by up to 40%.
- QR code implementation accelerates immigration checks.
- A single chain of command ensures clearer, unified directives.
- Optimized inspection layers strengthen border defenses.
The MADANI Reforms are more than promises—they are tangible actions ensuring the safety and prosperity of Malaysians.
