KUALA LUMPUR: Police have urged members of the Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB) who have fled following raids under Op Global to come forward and seek assistance.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said their main focus was to ensure that the welfare of individuals and their children was taken care of.
"With the company now paralysed, we believe many members have fled fearing that action will be taken against them.
"We want to ensure that these individuals and their children are safe," he told reporters here today.
Razarudin said many of these members relied on the company for their welfare and that of their children.
"Come forward and seek assistance from the government," he urged them.
GISB has been at the center of police investigations after raids on Sept 11 on 20 welfare homes allegedly operated by them led to 402 children rescued.
Subsequent screenings of the children revealed many of them suffered physical and emotional injuries.
During the course of investigations, police also revealed that 13 of the children had also been sodomised.
GISB has since denied the allegations of child exploitation and sexual abuse.
