CYBERJAYA: The Selangor government has taken action by ordering all Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB) premises in the state to be closed and confiscate all the company's assets.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari (pic) said he himself would announce on Wednesday (Oct 2) the total number of premises including shelters and religious schools related to GISB in the state.
"The shelters that are related to GISBH are 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)," he said.
He told reporters after launching Rumah Idaman, Putra Idaman and Saujana Idaman groundbreaking ceremony here on Saturday (Sept 28).
Meanwhile, Amirudin said the state government will help children associated with GISB in various aspects, especially in matters related to education.
"I also want to see on Monday the fate of the children who did not go to school or who are detained by the authorities now.
"The issue (is) of education and their future is important and the state government will try to help because that is our priority," he said.
Previously, the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah ordered actions related to GISB to be expedited.
Amirudin had previously said that the state government would ban the operation of GISBH's 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 Negri Sembilan linked to GISB 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.- Bernama
