KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 — Rehabilitation efforts for children rescued under Op Global involving Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) are comprehensive, covering faith, counselling, patriotism, education and skills, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said the focus extends to reuniting these children with their parents and families.
The rehabilitation measures involve experts to ensure the children can reintegrate safely into society and reduce trauma risk from being victims of GISBH.
“These rehabilitation efforts require the dedication and commitment of various parties to ensure these children are not neglected and can resume normal lives in society,” he said during a question-and-answer session.
Na'im was responding to Kangar MP Zakri Hassan's supplementary question regarding rehabilitation efforts for GISBH children, especially concerning trauma risks.
To Zakri’s original question on steps taken to address the issue of GISBH, Na'im said the strategic cooperation between the National Security Council; the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, the Home Ministry, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia, the Royal Malaysia Police, and the state religious authorities is being reinforced.
Other measures include harmonising fatwas related to GISBH’s teachings, ensuring legal enforcement, providing rehabilitation for victims and members, and continuously monitoring the group’s activities.
