National police chief Razarudin Husain reported that the rescued individuals, which included 59 children under the age of five, were taken from welfare homes associated with Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB Holdings). Among those rescued was a boy who appeared in online videos being caned, as well as another child who was seen being stepped on. This brings the total number of children under 18 saved since the case against GISB began earlier this month to 572. Additionally, police arrested 156 more suspects for further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities believe some of these children may have been subjected to sodomy and taught to sexually exploit one another; they were also reportedly denied medical care and punished by being burned with hot metal spoons. Medical examinations have revealed that at least 13 teenagers experienced sodomy, while 172 children sustained long-term physical and emotional harm.<\/p>\n<p>The victims are primarily children of GISB employees who had been placed in these homes since infancy and are thought to have been indoctrinated from a young age into loyalty towards the group. The intensified police actions against GISB followed a call from the country&#8217;s king for prompt investigations into this shocking case that has outraged many in Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>GISB promotes an Islamic lifestyle and operates various businesses such as mini-markets, bakeries, restaurants, pharmacies both domestically and internationally. It traces its origins back to Al Arqam, an Islamic sect banned by the government in 1994 due to its heretical views. Last week saw law enforcement detaining several top executives from GISB including CEO Nasiruddin Mohamad Ali along with two of his wives and two of his children; family members connected to Ashaari Mohamad\u2014who led Al Arqam until his death in 2010\u2014were also apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>Nasiruddin acknowledged there might be isolated cases of sodomy within these homes but refuted claims of widespread abuse. Razarudin estimated around 10,000 employees and followers adhere to GISB&#8217;s teachings derived from Al Arqam principles; investigations by Islamic authorities are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Police have raided approximately 280 locations tied to GISB nationwide but found most abandoned. In about 59 sites visited, officers confiscated Islamic literature containing deviant teachings. Authorities have frozen around 138 bank accounts linked with GISB totaling approximately RM1.9 million ($452,000) along with seizing14 properties amid money laundering inquiries; several individuals face charges related to child sexual assault<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2345221,"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\/dad883e84ba44baeb2a3092510bcc21a-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4294,3967,12701,41593],"class_list":["post-2345220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-children","tag-police","tag-rescue","tag-sex-abuse"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dad883e84ba44baeb2a3092510bcc21a-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345220","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=2345220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2345221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2345220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2345220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2345220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
