HIS Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, has decreed the police to conduct an immediate and comprehensive investigation into the alleged criminal misconduct and child exploitation linked to the Global Ikhwan Service and Business Holdings (GISBH) charity homes.

“I want a comprehensive investigation to be carried out and immediate action to be taken,” Sultan Ibrahim told the Royal Press Office as posted on His Majesty’s official Facebook page today.

The King took the matter seriously following numerous news reports on the case.

The King also said that matters related to the faith of Muslims should be preserved at all times and should not be taken lightly.

“All parties are reminded not to issue any extreme statements or remarks related to religious issues because they are very sensitive and must be handled carefully,” His Majesty said.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain had earlier said that health screening results for 392 children rescued from charity homes linked to GISBH during Ops Global have uncovered signs of both physical and emotional abuse among the victims. 

He also said there were elements of child labour and exploitation, with those under 18 being forced to work by selling goods. - September 17, 2024
