All 20 premises raided on Sept 11 have been closed.
A welfare home in Subang, Selangor, that was raided on Sept 11 by the police over child sex abuse and other allegations.Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the police were working with relevant ministries and agencies to complete the investigation as well as take further action involving the victims rescued during the operation codenamed Ops Global.“The care homes were opened for orphans, thus we are checking whether all of them are registered.
The IGP had said this was only the tip of the iceberg of the horrific abuses that the children were subjected to. “There were a few children, aged five years old, who were burnt with a hot spoon when they made a mistake. The caretakers also touched the children’s bodies as if to conduct ‘medical checks’.
Preliminary investigations also revealed that the children are not orphans. Many were placed in these homes as infants, with their parent’s knowledge, and subjected to indoctrination under the guise of religious education – a practice that Tan Sri Razarudin condemned as harmful.He did not rule out the possibility of deaths linked to the group’s activities and added that a detailed investigation would be conducted into the matter.
