[UPDATED] Akidah module to rehabilitate GISBH children to be ready end-Nov

KUALA LUMPUR: Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) member Ahmad Fauwaz Fadzil is heading the special committee probing GISB Holdings' doctrines to eradicate deviant teachings.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said the committee, which comprises five other experts, is in the midst of preparing an akidah (creed or fundamental belief) rehabilitation module for children.

The committee held its first meeting and has been given two months to prepare the module.

"The module should be ready by the end of November.

"Jakim (the Malaysian Islamic Development Department) already has an akidah rehabilitation module for adults, so the committee will prepare one that is tailored for children," he told reporters after attending the World Quran Symposium launch at the World Trade Centre today.

Fauwaz is the son of the late Datuk Fadzil Mohd Noor, a former Pas leader.

It was reported that the committee would be supervised by Nai'm's office, which would support the authorities, including the MKI with data and research.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the victims, aged between one and 17, were allegedly exploited at 20 welfare homes in Selangor and Negri Sembilan.

He had said that the victim endured various forms of exploitation and abuse including being sodomised.

GISB has since denied the allegations and threatened legal action against those who defamed the company.
