GISB case: Tuanku Muhriz issues decree to protect welfare of children


SEREMBAN: Negri Sembilan Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has decreed that the welfare of children associated with GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISB) in the state is safeguarded and to ensure they receive proper mainstream education.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said Tuanku Muhriz issued the royal directive during the 'Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan' session, which convened at Istana Seri Menanti here on Thursday (Oct 10) morning.

He said Tuanku Muhriz also proposed that the state's Social Welfare Department pay special attention to children aged between four and 15 years who have not been claimed by their parents.

"These children need to be given special attention so they can receive mainstream education and reintegrate into society.

"Attention must also be given to children who have been reunited with their parents. They should be continuously monitored to ensure they receive a proper education. We cannot just allow them to stay at home without care," he said to reporters after the groundbreaking ceremony of the Negeri Sembilan Semiconductor Valley (NSSV) here on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Aminuddin said the state had not issued new fatwa concerning GISB's teachings and beliefs.

"There is no new fatwa, however, Negri mufti Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Faudzinaim Badarudin said the group has indeed violated existing laws, regulations and legal bills, similar to Al-Arqam, which was declared deviant in 2016," he added. – Bernama
