GISBH premises ordered closed, assets to be seized: Selangor MB

The Selangor government has ordered all premises of Global Ikhwan Services & Business Holdings (GISBH) in the state to be closed and for all company assets to be confiscated.

“The shelters related to GISBH are to be closed immediately, including religious schools.

“That is an immediate action being taken by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department and the police. If we get more information, we will go (raid and close),” said Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.

He added that he will announce the total number of GISBH premises on Wednesday (Oct 2).

He was speaking to reporters after launching the Rumah Idaman, Putra Idaman, and Saujana Idaman groundbreaking ceremony in Cyberjaya today.

Meanwhile, Amirudin said the state government will help children associated with GISBH in various aspects, especially in matters related to education.

“I also want to see on Monday the fate of the children who do not go to school or who are detained by the authorities now.

“The issue of education and their future is important and the state government will try to help because that is our priority,” he said.

Previously, Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah ordered actions related to the GISBH issue to be expedited.

Amirudin was previously reported as saying the state government will ban the operation of GISBH premises after obtaining a full report from the police and the state Islamic Religious Committee.

On Sept 11, through Op Global, the police raided 20 charity homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan linked to GISBH for alleged child and religious exploitation activities.

Since Op Global began, more than 300 individuals including GISBH’s top management have been arrested and 572 victims have been rescued.
