Houses Of Shelters In Malaysia Raided, Police Find Dozens Of Children Experiencing Sexual Violence
KUALA LUMPUR - A child shelter in Malaysia was raided in the middle of this week. Hundreds of children were rescued from the place managed by a Malaysian businessman. Dozens of children were reported to have experienced physical and sexual violence, even sodomy.
Malaysian police rescued 402 children from a charity that authorities say is run by Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) Holdings, a company that is also accused of exploiting its workers.
Police said on Friday that health checks showed many children were injured due to physical and sexual violence, while 13 of them had been sodomized.
GISB stated that it did not manage the house and denied all allegations regarding abuse and exploitation of workers. The company's CEO denied any information about mass sexual harassment at the shelter.
However, he did not deny that there were one or two sodomy cases there.

In a video recording uploaded on GISB's official Facebook page on Saturday, September 14, Nasiruddin Ali's chief executive admitted that his company had violated the law.
"I don't want to blame the law. It is true that we have made several mistakes in the eyes of the law, but can't there be any suggestions or discussions first?" he said.
Nasiruddin said the police accusations that children were sodomized and taught to sodomize others were disgusting. "Indeed, there are one or two cases of sodomy, but why should all (cases) be combined?" he said.
