The head of a prominent Malaysian conglomerate, GISB Holdings, has denied extensive allegations of child sexual abuse at their charity homes, despite police rescuing 402 children under distressing conditions. Allegations against the company include both physical and sexual abuse.

Health screenings revealed troubling signs, with 13 children reportedly sodomized, according to police statements. While GISB has disclaimed running the charity homes, CEO Nasiruddin Ali acknowledged minor legal breaches in a video address but refuted the broader accusations.

Linking GISB to the banned religious sect Al-Arqam, Malaysian authorities are intensifying their investigation, which now may extend to financial misconduct. The company's assets have been frozen, and 159 individuals are currently detained as the probe continues.
