State Islamic religious affairs and innovation committee chairman Fahmi Ngah said their registration would be carried out by parents or guardians with a security bond and would be monitored monthly by the social welfare department (JKM) to ensure compliance with all set conditions.

“These children are deemed ready for schooling following assessments by the education ministry on their learning level, as well as faith evaluations conducted by the Selangor Islamic religious council (Mais) and the Selangor Islamic religious department (Jais),” he said here today.

He spoke to reporters after handing over schooling aid to the 200 GISBH children at an event attended by Mais chairman Abdul Aziz Yusof.

In addition to school kits with primary and secondary school uniforms, the children also received RM400 each from Mais and Jais.

Fahmi added that as the next step, the state government would assist another 1,000 GISBH children registered with Mais to enter the school system, ensuring them a better future.

Meanwhile, Aziz said that all children, along with their parents and guardians, would be monitored for two years, even though the National Security Council’s (MKN) rehabilitation programme for GISBH members concluded on Tuesday.

He added that Mais remains in close contact with the Islamic development department (Jakim), MKN, JKM, Jais and the state government to ensure all former GISBH members undergo and comply with the scheduled faith rehabilitation process.

“In this regard, we sincerely hope the community will accept former GISBH members who have undergone rehabilitation, particularly the children, so they can integrate into society and lead comfortable lives,” he said.

Aziz also said some 2,076 individuals, including 1,345 children associated with GISBH, will voluntarily participate in a Mais-led rehabilitation programme, scheduled to begin on Feb 15.

He said the initiative, known as the Insan Rabbani Programme, is in collaboration with Jais and will be carried out in four phases over two years.
