Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain has pleaded not guilty to two counts of voluntarily causing hurt to two Special Branch policemen at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 last month.
Mohd Shuhaily, 54, was charged with causing hurt to Lance Corporals Muhammad Ekmal Sofwan Driman and Mohammad Faiz Muhamad Saman, 40, on Sept 28.
The charges were brought under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of one year, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both, upon conviction.
Standing near the dock, Mohd Shuhaily told magistrate Khairatul Animah Jelani that he understood the charges and claimed trial.
He appeared calm throughout the proceedings.
