In a shocking development, Nasiruddin Ali, the CEO of Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB), has acknowledged that there were 'one or two' cases of sodomy at charity homes run by the organization, while vehemently denying other allegations of misconduct. This statement comes in the wake of a police raid that resulted in the rescue of 402 children from these homes, many of whom displayed signs of abuse [8ccce967].
The Malaysian police reported that 13 children were specifically identified as having been sodomized, leading to the arrest of 171 suspects connected to neglect and mistreatment within these facilities. The authorities have stated that they are investigating potential financial offenses related to GISB, which has been linked to the banned Islamic sect Al-Arqam [8ccce967].
While GISB claims it did not operate the homes in question, the organization has faced intense scrutiny due to its association with Al-Arqam, a group known for its controversial practices. The police investigation is ongoing, and the welfare of the children remains a top priority as the community grapples with the implications of these serious allegations [8ccce967].
These events unfold against a backdrop of increasing concern regarding child welfare in Malaysia, particularly in institutions that are meant to provide care and support. The revelations have sparked outrage and calls for greater oversight of charity organizations to ensure the safety of vulnerable children [8ccce967].
