The investigation involving Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH) is extensive and goes beyond just understanding and ideology.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said as such, the wide scope of the investigation requires a multi-agency approach.

“It involves more than just understanding and ideology; they practice their own socio-cultural and economic systems.

“Therefore, cooperation with all the involved agencies is necessary…

“And we will submit our recommendations to the government regarding the need for a holistic rehabilitation approach, not just limited to understanding,” he said.

Shuhaily spoke during a press conference on Op Global at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Centre today.

He said the Royal Malaysia Police will cooperate with parties including the Islamic Development Department (Jakim), Health Ministry, and Social Welfare Department (JKM).

Discussions with the various agencies would yield proposals for the government’s further action, he added.

This collaboration is to ensure the teachings and beliefs propagated by GISBH are not revived.

Shuhaily also said the GISBH investigation has been a priority for the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department for the past month, involving nearly the entire department’s personnel.

As the probe progresses, the investigation team is being streamlined as other cases also require attention, he said.
