Amirudin said the state Islamic religious department (JAIS), enforcement teams, and police are taking the necessary action without any delay.

“We will take action on these premises one by one, and we will continue to act as more information becomes available,” he told reporters after launching the Putra Idaman affordable housing project in Cyberjaya today.

Amirudin also said the total number of premises closed will be known next Wednesday, and the state government is committed to assisting the affected children.

“On Monday, I plan to meet with the children who are (school) dropouts or those rescued by the authorities,” he said, adding that their education, future, and overall welfare were important to his administration.

“The state will strive to provide support because this is our priority, as we feel for the children. As for other issues, including criminal matters, we will manage those accordingly.”

On Sunday, Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah ordered the immediate closure of all unregistered welfare homes and Islamic schools in Selangor operated by GISBH and its network.

The sultan also expressed his disappointment and regret that religious authorities did not act earlier against such premises run by GISBH in Selangor.

On Sept 11, police raided 20 welfare homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, which the authorities had linked to GISBH, and rescued 402 children and made several arrests.

Police said their investigations showed that at least 13 of the children were sodomised or taught to sexually assault others.

GISBH has denied the allegations and any links to the case.
