GISBH welfare home caretaker to be charged tomorrow with child abuse

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 — A caretaker of welfare homes linked to GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) will be charged tomorrow for abusing a child at one of those homes.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the 35-year-old man will be charged at the Selayang Sessions Court tomorrow under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 at 8.45am.

“The investigation papers regarding the charity home caretaker have been sent to the Attorney-General’s Chambers today and have received instructions for the charges,” he said when contacted.

Police launched Op Global early last month and have raided welfare homes across Peninsular Malaysia linked to GISBH, suspected of exploiting children and religion.

In the raids, 572 children were rescued, while 359 GISBH followers, including the company’s top leaders, were arrested.
