KUALA LUMPUR: The government is committed to ensuring that the police conducts a transparent investigation into GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISB), says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"This includes guaranteeing that the 542 children under the age of 18, currently placed in temporary shelters, have access to welfare services, counselling, spiritual guidance and education until the investigations by the police, the religious department and state religious councils and Social Welfare Department are concluded," he said in a statement on Friday (Sept 27).
Anwar also urged members and supporters of GISB, both domestically and internationally, who are not under investigation to reach out to the authorities.
"This is to resolve any issues they may be encountering," he added.
On Sept 11, the police carried out 'Op Global', raiding 20 charity homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan linked to GISB, due to allegations of child exploitation and religious activities misconduct.
The raids uncovered cases of neglect and abuse, leading to the detention of several individuals associated with GISB. - Bernama
