Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain stated that these operations followed investigations into claims of child abandonment, inappropriate teachings, and sexual assault at facilities managed by Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings. The rescued children included 201 boys and 201 girls aged between 1 to 17 years from various locations in central Selangor state and southern Negeri Sembilan state. Among the arrested suspects\u201466 men and 105 women\u2014were religious instructors and caretakers. Razarudin revealed in a televised press conference that not only were the caretakers involved in sexually abusing the children, but they also coerced them into doing so to one another within these homes. He noted that sick children were denied medical care until their conditions became critical, while some young ones suffered burns from hot spoons as punishment for mistakes; caregivers also improperly touched children&#8217;s bodies under the guise of medical examinations.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities suspect that Global Ikhwan exploited these children while leveraging religious sentiments for fundraising purposes. Investigations indicated that many of these children had been placed in welfare homes by their parents since infancy due to their association with Global Ikhwan members. The rescued minors will undergo medical evaluations as investigations continue.<\/p>\n<p>Global Ikhwan was established by Ashaari Mohamad, who led a now-banned Islamic sect called Al Arqam deemed heretical by the government in 1994. Following Ashaari&#8217;s death in 2010, the group has undergone several rebranding efforts but has recently attracted scrutiny from Islamic authorities over allegations of continuing deviant teachings linked to Al-Arqam sect practices. In response to Wednesday&#8217;s events, Global Ikhwan denied any wrongdoing regarding child exploitation and expressed willingness to cooperate with authorities but did not address specific allegations of sexual abuse against them. Their statement emphasized a commitment against any illegal activities related to child exploitation as workers.<\/p>\n<p>According to its website, Global Ikhwan operates across various sectors including food service, media, healthcare, travel, and real estate; it employs over 5,000 individuals globally with branches spanning across twenty countries including restaurant chains located in London, Paris, Australia, Dubai among others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2339841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Malaysia-Flag.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40669,36930,40670,35066],"class_list":["post-2339840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-child-rescue","tag-human-rights","tag-islamic-welfare","tag-sexual-abuse"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Malaysia-Flag.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
