GISBH Probe: Remand Of Four Individuals Extended

Four individuals detained in connection with the ongoing investigation into GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) have had their remand extended for three days. The extension of the remand order was issued by Magistrate Rais Imran Hamid at the Bharu Court Complex today following a police application. Earlier, all the suspects, aged 15 to 45, arrived at the court complex at 9.20 am. The investigation is being conducted under Section 8(2) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984. Previously, the media reported that the four local men had been remanded for three days starting from Sept 25. On Sept 11, police rescued 402 children and teenagers from 20 charitable homes allegedly linked to GISBH in Selangor and Negri Sembilan, who were suspected of being victims of child labour and sexual exploitation. The police operation dubbed Ops Global uncovered cases of neglect and abuse, leading to the arrest of several individuals connected to GISB. Source: BERNAMA News Agency
