KUALA LUMPUR: Pas has welcomed the police's probe into GISB Holdings (GISBH) and wants action to be taken against those found guilty of any crime.
"However, the eagerness to punish them should not affect the group as a whole, especially its innocent members or GISBH's legal and beneficial activities," said Pas secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.
"Pas believes that the positive aspects of this group including its extensive business network should be protected from hasty and unjust actions that may stem from rash sentiments, prejudice, competition and political agendas," he said in a statement.
He said there was a need for action against GISBH to be handled carefully.
Takiyuddin added that Pas would monitor developments on the probe into GISBH.
GISBH is now the focus of a police investigation after raids were conducted on 20 welfare homes allegedly linked to the group last week. The raids saw 402 people, some as young as 1-year-old, rescued.
Police said the victims had endured various forms of exploitation and abuse, including being sodomised.
GISBH has since denied the allegations of child exploitation and sexual abuse.
It has been reported that several GISBH-linked businesses in some states have been closed in the past week.
