The report will be presented to state executive councillor Fahmi Ngah, who heads the Islamic religious and cultural innovation committee, Bernama reported.

Fahmi said he would also be briefed on the efforts by the Selangor Islamic religious department (JAIS) particularly concerning religious schools and tahfiz institutions under GISBH in Selangor.

“I will also receive updates on the profiles of 30 welfare homes operated by GISBH in Selangor, as previously reported by JAIS, including the alleged appointment of GISBH members to a mosque committee in Rawang, as well as the issue regarding Surau Al Ikhwan,” he said in a statement, today.

He said a special team, led by JAIS director Shahzihan Ahmad is actively working to strengthen certain requirements in cases involving top management, and other individual activities, in accordance with the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.

Fahmi’s statement comes in the wake of the sultan of Selangor expressing his disappointment and regret that religious authorities did not act earlier against welfare homes run by GISBH, which were unregistered and operating in Selangor.

The sultan ordered the immediate closure of all unregistered welfare homes and Islamic schools in Selangor, operated by GISBH and its network.
