MALAYSIA: Police in Malaysian say they have rescued 187 more children and raided locations nationwide as part of investigations into an Islamic business group.
Police chief Razarudin Husain said the children and young people — including 59 under age 5 — were rescued from welfare homes linked to Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) holdings, which is being investigated for alleged child sexual abuse.
The number of children who have now been rescued has risen to 572 since the case against GISB erupted earlier this month, he said.
