Anwar wants urgent probe into GISBH

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has instructed the relevant authorities, including Islamic religious departments and councils to immediately investigate and take appropriate action on the alleged misconduct by Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH).

Speaking to reporters after performing Friday prayers at Masjid Al-Iman in Kajang today, Anwar said the probe is important and cannot be delayed as the issue involves abuse of power, religion, and child exploitation.

“Let the police investigate and take appropriate action according to the law. Religious authorities, especially in the Federal Territories (Jawi) and Selangor (Jais) as well as Jakim (Islamic Development Department), can also advise.

“Do not delay. Many have asked why we are slow to act. So, I have brought the matter to the authorities for immediate action,” he said.

Earlier reports indicated that the police are actively investigating allegations against GISBH related to religious issues and child exploitation.

Last Wednesday, it was reported that 402 children - 201 boys and 201 girls aged between one and 17 years - were rescued during police raids dubbed “Op Global” on 20 children’s homes across Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.

These homes are believed to be linked to GISBH, which allegedly exploits children under the guise of religious charity.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said 171 individuals, including instructors, dormitory guardians, and heads of educational centres, aged between 17 and 64 years, were also arrested to assist with the investigation.
