In September 2024, in the course of investigations into the abuse of children in children's homes, the police in Malaysia arrested several hundred suspects. More than 400 children were brought to safety and 355 alleged perpetrators have been arrested, including religious teachers and carers. The investigators targeted an Islamic company called Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB), which is controversial because of its links to the banned Al-Arqam "sect". According to the company's website, GISB operates supermarkets and restaurants, among other things, and is also active outside of Malaysia, for example in Indonesia, France and the United Kingdom.[3]
