GOMBAK: GISB companies have been developing their businesses at Bandar Country Homes, Rawang, since 2013.
Its headquarters and various businesses were developed in stages at Jalan Desa, Bandar Country Homes.
GISB operated several businesses at the location, including a dobby, a printing shop, a hotel, maternity and dental clinics, a beauty treatment centre, a salon, restaurants, a workshop, a used clothing shop, a media management centre, a bakery, and a supermarket.
The company also modified a public field into an equestrian track with up to six horses.
There were also horse stables, a peacock enclosure, and a café, which did not have the approval of the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS).
A resident in his 50s, who only wished to be known as Zainal, said GISB leaders have good relations with the management of five mosques in Bandar Country Homes.
"The (GISB) leaders always assisted and cooperated with the mosque management committee in the area, including giving donations for mosque events as well as Hari Raya open houses.
"It is strange that I never saw young GISB members performing prayers at the mosque, especially on Friday.
"At first, the members were friendly to other residents, but their behaviour changed as they preferred to mix among themselves," he said.
Zainal hoped that the authorities would monitor and track down the remnants of GISB in the area.
The raid, which was conducted as part of the operation codenamed Ops Global, involved 50 police officers and personnel from Selangor police headquarters, the Federal Reserve Unit, and other agencies.
