KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 — Court action has been taken against multiple people across three states for various offences related to Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH), the local conglomerate that has been linked to the banned Al Arqam sect and explosive child abuse allegations.
Considering the number of years it took for the case to build up, the number of people involved, and the size of the empire, it has been quite a headache to keep track of what’s going on.
Here’s a summary of the events that transpired since the police operation codenamed Op Global at the end of September to date, based on national news agency Bernama’s records.
Muhammad Barur Rahim Hisam is the first ustaz or Islamic religious teacher who has been charged and sentenced in court.
On September 26, the Sessions Court in Klang, Selangor sentenced the 23-year-old to 10 years in prison after he pled guilty to abusing three boys by whipping them and pressing his knee on one victim’s chest at two schools linked to GISBH.
He was also placed on a good behaviour bond for five years, backed by a surety of RM10,000. Meaning if he fails to abide by the court order during that time, he will be sent back to prison for an additional six months.
