G25 backs call for RCI into GISB

PETALING JAYA: G25 has backed the Malaysian Bar’s call to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to probe allegations of the inhumane treatment of children living in Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB) welfare homes and its teachings.

The group of prominent retired civil servants said an RCI would not only assist in the investigations but also promote accountability and reforms that will improve how such matters are handled in the future to “avoid the delays we have seen in this case”.
