malaysiangIPOH, All premises owned by Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH) in Perak are under close observation by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Perak chief of police Datuk Azizi Mat Aris said the monitoring is being carried out comprehensively and also involved business premises related to the company.
‘Currently, we are closely monitoring GISBH’s movements in Perak and cannot reveal their list of locations,’ he said when met at the PDRM Retirees and Prospective Retirees Celebration Ceremony here today.
“This is (not disclosed) because the police do not want the ongoing investigation to be disrupted and in line with the instructions from the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
Yesterday, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, decreed PDRM to conduct an immediate and comprehensive investigation related to the alleged criminal misconduct and child exploitation linked to GISBH charity homes.
Earlier yesterday, IGP Tan Sri Razarudin Husain had said that health screening tests on 392 childre
n, rescued from the GISBH charity home in Ops Global, uncovered signs of physical and emotional abuse among the victims, as well as child labour and exploitation including being forced to work by selling goods.
Meanwhile, in other developments, Azizi reminded the public to be sensitive and always alert to the continuous heavy rain that is currently affecting Perak.
He said his team asked the public to get information from relevant parties including the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) before doing any outdoor activities.
“I urge the public to be aware of the weather conditions from time to time. We don’t want our fun to turn into a tragedy, and on the police side, we are always ready, together with the relevant agencies, to face this phenomenon,” he also said.
Yesterday, the media reported that MetMalaysia had informed in a statement that there was an alert level warning of continuous rain in the four northern Peninsula states, namely Perlis, Kedah, Penang and Perak, which will be in effe
ct until Sept 19 (tomorrow).
In the same statement, the agency said that based on analysis of weather models, the concentration of wind occurring in the north of the Peninsula and west of Sabah is expected to continue until Sept 21.
