Kota Bharu : BERSATU Kelantan tidak menolak kemungkinan Presiden PAS, Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang bakal dilantik sebagai Pengerusi Perikatan Nasional (PN) menggantikan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang meletak jawatan berkuat kuasa hari ini.

Pengerusinya, Datuk Kamaruddin Md Noor berkata, ia berikutan hanya PAS dan BERSATU parti yang besar dalam gabungan berkenaan.

Malah katanya, sebelum ini pun Muhyiddin pernah menawarkan jawatan berkenaan kepada Abdul Hadi, namun ditolak.

"Memandangkan dalam PN hanya mempunyai dua parti besar iaitu BERSATU dan PAS berbanding parti lain, maka logiknya Pengerusi PN nanti adalah dari PAS.

"Mengikut perlembagaan PN, mereka yang mengetuai PN adalah ketua parti masing-masing dan jika PAS yang mengetuai PN nanti, sudah tentulah Tan Sri Abdul Hadi," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas menyambut ketibaan pelancong di pintu masuk sempena Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2026 (TMM 2026) di Lapangan Terbang Sultan Ismail Petra (LTSIP) di sini, hari ini.

Mengulas lanjut katanya, pelantikan Pengerusi PN dijangka akan dibuat dalam masa terdekat selepas perbincangan mendapat kata sepakat.

"Untuk pelantikan Pengerusi PN, semua ketua parti dalam PN akan berbincang bagi mencapai kata sepakat berkaitan lantikan baharu.

"Kami di BERSATU tidak mempunyai sebarang masalah sekiranya Pengerusi PN yang dilantik nanti adalah dari PAS," katanya.

Media sebelum ini melaporkan lima tahun memimpin PN, Presiden BERSATU, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin secara rasmi mengumumkan peletakan jawatannya sebagai Pengerusi gabungan itu, berkuat kuasa hari ini.

Melalui kenyataan media yang dimuat naik di Facebook, bekas Perdana Menteri itu turut melahirkan penghargaan kepada semua kepimpinan PN atas sokongan kepada beliau sepanjang memimpin gabungan terbabit.

Muhyiddin sudah mengetuai gabungan itu sejak 7 Ogos 2020, iaitu tarikh ia didaftarkan secara rasmi.

Kesum Pandan Indah Review

MRaef — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:15:45 +0800

I was planning to check out the launch of Kesum Restaurant at Pandan Indah yesterday, but with work piling up and the weather looking bad, I decided to postpone it to Sunday instead.

---

The Journey

I headed there around 1 p.m. on my bike. The place is only about 3 km from my house, so it took me around 10 minutes to get there.

---

The Premise (Outside)

[attachmentid=11521583]

Kesum is located near the Shell and Petronas stations at Pandan Indah. The Google Maps direction is spot on if you search for “kesum pandan indah.”

It’s a single ground-floor shop lot, not too big, but the signage is clean, readable, and stands out nicely. The only downside is parking. Most of the non-reserved lots were already full, so if you’re planning to drive, be prepared to circle around a bit looking for a spot.

---

The Premise (Inside)

[attachmentid=11521584]

The place was already packed when I walked in. Every table was taken, and people were waiting for their food.

There was a short queue at the counter, about three or four people ahead of me. While waiting, I could see the kitchen crew rushing to keep up with orders.

---

The Menu

[attachmentid=11521585]

My first impression of the menu was that it’s simple and straightforward, which makes sense since the restaurant aims to offer affordable meals and drinks (kind of like the Menu Rahmah concept). I think that’s part of what Rafizi’s promoting too.

[attachmentid=11521586]

I ordered one Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah and one Nasi Minyak Ayam Masak Merah, plus two Teh O Ais. The total came to RM12.85, not bad at all.

---

The Interior

[attachmentid=11521587]

They used a lot of bright white LED bulbs (maybe ten in total), but those things generate quite a bit of heat. Everyone inside was sweating. The air conditioner didn’t help much either since there was only one unit in the middle of the ceiling, and it clearly wasn’t enough to cool the whole place.

---

The Waiting Game

This was the tough part. It took a full 90 minutes for my order to be ready.

The staff were clearly overwhelmed by the crowd. At one point, they started warning new customers that the wait time would be over an hour. Some people stayed and waited patiently, while others decided to come back another day.

A few customers got a bit restless and went to the counter to ask about their food. The staff did their best to stay calm and reassure them that the orders were on the way.

---

The Order

After an hour and a half, my food was finally ready; though they initially mixed it up as a dine-in order instead of takeaway, which caused another short delay.

Once I got my food, I headed straight home since the sky was getting cloudy and it looked like it might rain. Thankfully, it didn’t.

/k want reprint SPM cert?

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 23 — Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil today revealed a surprise hit during the Two Years of Madani Government event: Education Ministry’s booth offering reprints of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) certificates.

However, the said the most popular event at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) remains the Road Transport Department’s free helmet exchange programme at Hall 1.

“Based on the initial feedback we received, there are a few counters that are the most lively and most visited. One is for requesting helmet exchanges, and the other is for reprinting SPM certificates.

“So, after this, I’m going to reprint my SPM certificate as a keepsake. Don’t ask me what I got,” he told reporters jokingly, referring to his exam results.

The Education Ministry’s booth offers the SPM certificate reprint at a special rate for only RM10 at the event instead of RM30.

Reprint of other certificates such as the now-defunct Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) are also available, however, attendees have to pay the normal price of RM30.

Bernama cited Muhammad Zairil Aiman Yusri, a MyStep staff member from the Examination Board of the Ministry of Education, saying the standard replacement cost for the certificate is RM30, but the special rate is available only until the programme ends this Sunday.

He added that individuals who took the SPM from 1994 onwards are eligible for the offer and that they need only walk in to the ministry service counter at the 2TM programme and present their identification card to obtain their replacement certificate.

Fahmi encouraged the public to visit the ministries’ booths here to acquire information about them.

“My hope in these remaining two days is to invite everyone to come to KLCC and see the booths that have been set up. Each ministry’s booth has its own focus, whether it’s information or services,” he said.

The programme is to celebrate the Madani’s government two-year milestone with a three-day celebration, which started yesterday and will end tomorrow. The event runs from 9am to 6pm.

ALOR SETAR - Kumpulan DSAT memutuskan untuk mengambil tindakan undang-undang dengan menyaman Menteri Besar Kedah, Datuk Seri Mohammad Sanusi Md Nor sebanyak RM1 bilion.

Pengerusi Eksekutifnya, Datuk Seri Azizul Tandek melalui hantaran di Facebook miliknya pada Isnin menjelaskan tindakan itu diambil susulan kenyataan Sanusi pada 7 November lalu ketika sidang media di Majlis Perbandaran Sungai Petani Kedah (MPSPK).

"DSAT Group memutuskan akan saman MB Kedah 1 bilion atas kenyataannya pada 7 November 2024 di MPSPK. See u in court," tulisnya.

Dalam sidang media pada 7 November lalu, Sanusi mengharapkan syarikat yang berminat untuk mengambil alih pasukan bola sepak Kedah Darul Aman (KDA) FC agar benar-benar mempunyai kemampuan untuk menguruskannya.

Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Kedah (KFA) itu berkata, walaupun urusan pemilikan kelab itu tidak bersangkutan dengan kerajaan negeri, namun beliau tetap memberi pesanan agar tidak berlaku sebarang penipuan dalam perkara itu.

"Kalau ada kemampuan, silakan. Kita harap dan berdoa dia adalah kemampuan, jangan 'scam' lah, belum apa-apa lagi dah buat kenyataan macam-macam dah.

"Macam scammer tak bagus lah. Dia tak ada sangkut paut dengan kita (kerajaan negeri) dia tak berurusan dengan kita dan dia tak perlu kebenaran saya atau Exco Sukan... perlu jumpa pihak peguam KDA,” katanya.

Sebelum ini, Pemilik KDA FC, Tan Sri Dr Mohd Daud Bakar mempelawa mana-mana pihak yang berminat memiliki pasukan itu untuk menghantar surat tunjuk minat atau surat tawaran secara rasmi kepada mereka.

Menurutnya, tiada halangan untuk mempertimbangkan mana-mana tawaran yang munasabah serta tulen demi kepentingan dan kelangsungan KDA FC

Pelawaan itu kemudian disambut Azizul yang mengutuskan surat rasmi melalui anak syarikatnya, Mahsuri Medical Centre (MMC) pada Ahad lalu mengenai minat mendapatkan pasukan bola sepak tersebut.

Public Health Malaysia doesn't like Rose' APT song

The Malaysian Ministry of Health has reportedly raised concerns over BLACKPINK Rosé and Bruno Mars‘s mega-hit “APT.” The ministry has deemed the song potentially “harmful.”

Despite the song’s widespread success, Malaysia has seemingly expressed concern due to the song’s representation of Eastern cultural values.

On its official social media, the Ministry questioned the song’s impact in a post asking, “Have you listened to Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’?” In their view, the song presents the concept of an “apartment” as a site of temptation, which they believe might subtly promote behaviors at odds with the values traditionally upheld in Eastern cultures.

The term ‘apartment’ in the song is used as a place of temptation, which normalizes behavior that conflicts with Eastern cultural values.

— Malaysian Ministry of Health

Their interpretation has led to concerns that the song could inadvertently encourage certain attitudes or behaviors in young listeners.

The Ministry also pointed out that “APT.” has become a popular background track for social media posts, blending seamlessly into daily life. The main worry seems to be that younger listeners, especially children, could be unintentionally exposed to the lyrics and start repeating them without understanding their potential implications.

What’s even more concerning is that this song is frequently used in social media videos, integrating into daily life. There’s a real risk that children may unknowingly sing along to these lyrics.

— Malaysian Ministry of Health

They advised parents, educators, and community members to stay vigilant about Western cultural influences that enter local spaces. While they acknowledged that fans might defend or interpret the song in various ways, the Ministry emphasized that careful analysis of the lyrics and context is necessary to form an informed opinion.

As parents, educators, and members of society, we should be mindful of the unchecked acceptance of Western cultural influences. Of course, there may be various interpretations of this song from fans, but it’s crucial to analyze the lyrics and make personal judgments.

— Malaysian Ministry of Health

Meanwhile, Rosé’s collaboration with Bruno Mars has become a massive hit not only in South Korea but even beyond its borders. The song quickly soared to the top of music charts on platforms like Melon, Genie, and Flo, thanks to its catchy rhythm and memorable lyrics. Fans can expect more from Rosé when she releases her debut album, rosie, on December 6 with 11 more tracks accompanying “APT.”

MCA tidak puas hati sama Zahid

Pemimpin MCA tidak puas hati presiden diberi jawatan 'tak sepadan'

Beberapa pemimpin MCA meluahkan rasa tidak berpuas hati mereka dengan pelantikan presiden mereka Wee Ka Siong sebagai penasihat pelaburan kepada masyarakat Cina dan juga syarikat Cina di Malaysia.

Antara mereka ialah bekas naib presiden MCA Ti Lian Ker yang merasakan kedudukan itu tidak sepadan dengan status Wee sebagai ketua parti komponen BN, yang secara lazimnya diberikan jawatan menteri.

Bercakap kepada Malaysiakini, dia menyifatkan jawatan itu sebagai "tidak sepadan" dan menyatakan kebimbangan ia boleh menjejaskan imej MCA.

Dengan harapan Wee akan menolak jawatan itu, Ti menegaskan bahawa MCA adalah mengenai "politik dan bukan perniagaan".

“Kita perlu melihat persediaan untuk pilihan raya umum akan datang, yang penting bagi MCA dan kerajaan campuran.

“Kita harus memberi tumpuan untuk mencipta generasi pemimpin akan datang. Ini mesti menjadi fokus utama kita, bukan meneroka peluang perniagaan,” katanya.

Menurut Ti, jawatan yang lebih sesuai ialah melantik Wee sebagai duta khas dengan bertaraf menteri.

Semasa pentadbiran kerajaan sebelum ini adalah satu kelaziman untuk melantik pemimpin parti sebagai duta khas yang bertaraf menteri.

Seorang lagi pemimpin MCA, yang tidak mahu namanya disiarkan, berkata apabila berita pelantikan Wee diumumkan, beberapa bekas menteri parti juga tidak bersetuju.

“Ini dianggap tidak sopan. Ia seperti satu tamparan di muka, dengan lubang digali dan presiden ditolak masuk ke dalamnya,” katanya kepada Malaysiakini.

Seorang lagi veteran MCA, yang juga enggan namanya didedahkan, berhujah bahawa jawatan itu lebih rendah daripada apa yang ditawarkan kepada bekas ketua Wanita parti itu Heng Seai Kie pada 2015.

“Heng diberi pejabat dan pemandu. Sedangkan, (pelantikan Wee) ini hanyalah jawatan kosong dan ia memperkecilkan MCA,” tambahnya.

Ahad lalu, Pengerusi Barisan Nasional Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mengumumkan pelantikan Wee semasa merasmikan perhimpunan agung tahunan MCA.

MCA kini mempunyai dua ahli Parlimen – Wee Ka Siong (Ayer Hitam) dan Wee Jeck Seng (Tanjung Piai), yang masing-masing dilantik sebagai menteri pengangkutan dan timbalan menteri perusahaan perladangan dan komoditi ketika kerajaan perdana menteri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Bagaimanapun, di bawah kerajaan perpaduan Anwar, MCA tidak diberi sebarang jawatan dalam kabinet.

Terdapat spekulasi bahawa terdapat 10 ahli parlimen BN, termasuk dua wakil MCA, adalah antara mereka yang menandatangani akuan bersumpah menyokong Muhyiddin Yassin sebagai perdana menteri selepas Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15, apabila tiada parti yang memperoleh majoriti mudah.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we come together to acknowledge the importance of mental well-being for everyone. Mental health affects every aspect of our lives—our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and our ability to face challenges. Yet, for many, mental health struggles remain invisible and often misunderstood.

Let's take this day to remind ourselves and others that it's okay to seek help, talk openly, and show kindness and empathy. By supporting each other, we can break the stigma surrounding mental health and create a world where everyone feels valued, heard, and supported.

Seoul: Sepanjang lima tahun lalu, 20 kanak-kanak memperoleh lebih daripada 100 juta won (kira-kira RM318,196) setahun sebagai ketua pegawai eksekutif (CEO) di Korea Selatan.

Ia termasuk seorang kanak-kanak di bawah umur lima tahun.

The Korea Herald melaporkan, menurut data daripada Perkhidmatan Insurans Kesihatan Kebangsaan yang diserahkan kepada Jin Sun-mee daripada pembangkang utama iaitu Parti Demokratik Korea, terdapat 360 pemilik perniagaan di bawah umur 19 tahun setakat Ogos lalu.

Data berkenaan hanya meliputi mereka yang berdaftar sebagai pemilik perniagaan di bawah sistem insurans kesihatan.

Dipecahkan mengikut pendapatan, data menunjukkan bahawa 20 kanak-kanak memperoleh lebih daripada 100 juta won setahun, 41 kanak-kanak bawah umur memperoleh antara 50 juta won (kira-kira RM159,032) dan 100 juta won, serta 299 golongan bawah umur itu memperoleh kurang daripada 50 juta won.

Kelab 100 juta won itu termasuk 12 individu berumur 11 hingga 15 tahun, lima remaja bawah umur 16 hingga 17 tahun, dua berumur enam hingga 10 tahun dan seorang bawah lima tahun.

Seoul mempunyai bilangan terbesar perniagaan 'milik' kanak-kanak iaitu sebanyak 231, diikuti oleh wilayah Gyeonggi (61), Incheon (22), Busan (18) dan wilayah Jeolla Utara (sembilan).

Jin bagaimanapun menggesa peraturan yang lebih ketat untuk menghalang penubuhan perniagaan yang dimiliki oleh golongan bawah umur sebagai cara mengelak cukai warisan.

"Ini bukan hanya isu terpencil untuk beberapa individu, tetapi mencerminkan ketidaksamaan pendapatan yang meluas di seluruh masyarakat," katanya.

SHAH ALAM - Keahlian Ketua Penerangan Armada Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) bahagian Jasin, Na’im Brundage terhenti serta-merta.

Na'im berkata, perkara itu hanya dimaklumkan kepada pada Jumaat, iaitu sehari sebelum pengumuman calon pemilihan parti itu.

"Semalam pada 27 September 2024 (Jumaat), saya dimaklumkan bahawa keahlian saya dalam Bersatu telah terhenti secara serta-merta.

"Alasan yang diberikan adalah kerana saya didakwa melanggar Perlembagaan Bersatu pada tahun 2022, ketika saya menyertai parti politik lain," katanya menerusi hantaran di aplikasi X, pada Sabtu.

Pada 27 Disember 2022, Na'im yang memegang jawatan sebagai Ketua Pemuda Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) dipecat bersama 12 ahli lain termasuk bekas Ahli Parlimen Ampang, Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin dan Setiausaha Agung, Nor Hizwan Ahmad.

Dalam pada itu beliau menjelaskan telah menyertai semula Bersatu pada 18 Julai 2023 dengan borang pendaftaran keahlian baharu diserahkan kepada Setiausaha Agung parti, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.

Sejak itu menurutnya, beliau menjadi ahli Bersatu selama setahun dua bulan tanpa sebarang tindakan disiplin selain dilantik sebagai Ketua Penerangan Armada Jasin.

"Namun begitu keahlian saya akhirnya dilucutkan secara tiba-tiba sehari sebelum pengumuman calon pemilihan yang sekali gus menyebabkan saya hilang kelayakan untuk bertanding jawatan Exco Armada pada pemilihan kali ini.

"Saya menerima keputusan ini dengan hati terbuka dan ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua rakan-rakan dalam Bersatu yang banyak membantu sepanjang tempoh saya bersama parti," ujarnya.

Berdasarkan perkongsian tersebut, beliau turut memuat naik notis pemberhentian yang ditandatangani oleh Hamzah bertarikh 24 September 2024.

Notis itu menyatakan pemberhentian Na'im berdasarkan keputusan Mesyuarat Majlis Pimpinan Tertinggi (MPT) bertarikh 23 September 2024.

"Bahawa keahlian penama berikut telah terhenti secara serta-merta daripada ahli Bersatu dan namanya telah dikeluarkan daripada sistem pendaftaran keahlian di atas pelanggaran perlembagaan Bersatu Fasal 10.2.3," menurut notis berkenaan.

Kuala Nerus: Hanya nota berbaur kekecewaan dan pesanan ditemui di dalam sebuah banglo mewah dipercayai disewa GISB Holdings (GISBH) di Kampung Mengabang, Batu Rakit di sini.

Nota yang tertera dengan tulisan tangan "musuh-musuh kena tunggu di akhirat kerana yang kami hadapi di dunia, di sana lagi dahsyat berlipat kali ganda' ditemui di banglo ketika serbuan dilakukan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), semalam.

Ketua Penolong Pesuruhjaya Bahagian Penguatkuasaan Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Terengganu (JHEAT), Aizi Saidi Abdul Aziz mengesahkan penemuan nota itu ketika melakukan serbuan ke banglo mewah dipercayai disewa oleh pengikut GISBH itu.

Katanya, nota berbaur peringatan kepada pihak berkuasa ditinggalkan pengikut GISBH yang menghilangkan diri sebelum serbuan dilakukan.

"Banglo mewah di tepi pantai itu dipercayai disewa pengikut GISBH dan menjadikan kawasan di hadapan premis itu sebagai pusat latihan berkuda sejak akhir Disember lalu.

"Hasil risikan dan aduan penduduk setempat, kawasan lapang di hadapan banglo mewah itu digunakan GISBH untuk melatih golongan remaja menunggang kuda," katanya ketika ditemui selepas memantau kawasan itu hari ini.

Bagaimanapun Aizi Saidi operasi dilakukan polis tidak membabitkan pegawai dan anggota penguat kuasa JHEAT disebabkan semua premis, termasuk pusat latihan berkuda itu tiada penghuni.

"Kita akan terus melakukan pemantauan di banglo mewah yang dijadikan pusat latihan berkuda oleh pengikut GISBH.

"Hasil pemantauan berterusan dilakukan mendapati tiada rumah amal dilaksanakan oleh GISBH di negeri ini," katanya.

Ketika mengulas mengenai pusat latihan berkuda itu, Aizi Saidi berkata, hasil risikan selepas menerima aduan penduduk setempat mendapati sebanyak 13 kuda disediakan untuk melatih remaja termasuk wanita.

"Kita juga menerima aduan berlaku pergaulan bebas antara remaja wanita dan lelaki dalam banglo yang disewa daripada penduduk tempatan pada harga RM8,000 sebulan," katanya.

Sementara itu, tinjauan bersama Aizi Saidi dan seorang penduduk di kampung berkenaan mendapati pagar sudah dikunci oleh pemilik banglo mewah berkenaan.

Tinjauan juga mendapati kuda yang digunakan untuk melatih remaja tiada di lokasi.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — The Sultan of Selangor today ordered the state Islamic authorities to take immediate action against Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH), a local company at the centre of ongoing investigations for a slew of suspected criminal and deviant religious activities.

Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah said he was shocked and disappointed to find out about the scandal upon returning home from abroad, noting that the allegations against GISBH had been going on for so long without any action taken.

“I feel regret and disappointment that this matter has persisted for a long time without effective action being taken to address it.

“We must accept the reality that the delay in handling this issue reflects a weakness in the monitoring and enforcement of laws by religious agencies regarding charitable homes and Islamic schools associated with GISBH and its network, resulting in the matter becoming so serious and unmanageable,” he said in a statement posted on the Facebook page of the Selangor Royal Office this afternoon.

He called for immediate and firm legal action to be taken against all those who commit crimes against children and religiously deviant practices to preserve the sanctity of Islam.

“I wish to remind all parties, especially the religious authorities, to take the issues related to the behavior of GISBH seriously, particularly when it involves children and the suspected heretical teachings practiced by them.

“I do not want us to be likened to a ‘hollow tin’, meaning merely good at talking but with no results.

“We must adhere to the principle of ‘walk the talk’ or putting our words into action,” he added.

He also called on the police and all other enforcement agencies to conduct investigations transparently to maintain the public trust.

The GISBH scandal broke earlier this month after Bukit Aman announced a massive raid on 20 charity houses linked to GISBH in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, in which they rescued over 400 child residents and arrest nearly 200 people between the ages of 17 and 64.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain later announced that a number of individuals linked to the company are suspected of involvement with a number of criminal activities from sexually abusing the minor to coaching them on how to sexually abuse other children, human trafficking, and criminal intimidation.

In the immediate aftermath of the police disclosure, GISBH executive chairman and CEO Datuk Nasiruddin Mohd Ali admitted on September 14 to sodomy allegations but downplayed the number to “one or two” incidents.

The police have since mounted more raids and arrests nationwide.

As at the time of reporting, national news wire Bernama reported IGP Razarudin saying roughly 200 people have been arrested so far for their suspected links to GISBH.

Perlis was the first state to issue a fatwa on GISBH after declaring the business group as deviant.

The group has been linked to Al Arqam, an Islamic sect that was banned some 30 years ago.

SHAH ALAM - Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) menafikan dakwaan yang menuduh pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) itu bersekongkol melindungi ahli kumpulan GlSB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) dan turut mengamalkan ajaran sesat.

Ketua Aktivis PPIM, Datuk Nadzim Johan berkata, sebelum ini sama seperti banyak pihak lain, kerjasama dengan entiti perniagaan berkenaan hanya atas kapasiti menyokong usaha meningkatkan jumlah produk halal buatan umat Islam untuk pengguna di Malaysia.

Tegas beliau, ia bukan cerminan persatuan menyokong atau mengetahui mengenai dakwaan berkaitan isu dalam kumpulan GISBH ketika ini.

“PPIM menegaskan tidak pernah mengetahui mengenai apa-apa isu dalam kumpulan GISBH yang dikaitkan dengan pelbagai dakwaan.

“Termasuk jenayah seksual terhadap kanak-kanak, pemerdagangan manusia, penggubahan wang haram dan lain-lain sehinggalah perkara tersebut didedahkan baru-baru ini,” katanya dalam kenyataan pada Sabtu.

Beliau berkata demikian bagi mengulas mengenai beberapa hantaran di media sosial mengaitkan PPIM dengan GISBH yang dalam siasatan polis berhubung beberapa salah laku jenayah susulan operasi Op Global pada 11 September lalu.

Polis menyerbu 20 rumah amal GISBH di Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan dengan menyelamatkan 402 individu termasuk kanak-kanak yang didakwa menjadi mangsa eksploitasi dan seksual.

Pihak polis turut membekukan 96 akaun bank berkaitan syarikat tersebut dengan nilai melebihi RM581,000.

Seramai 171 individu berusia 17 hingga 64 tahun ditahan bagi membantu siasatan dan setakat 19 September lalu, 19 individu termasuk pengurusan tertinggi, isteri serta beberapa pemimpin GISBH direman tujuh hari.

Ujar Nadzim, PPIM tidak akan melindungi mana-mana pihak yang melanggar undang-undang kerajaan atau bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam.

“PPIM meminta pihak lain jangan memburukkan lagi keadaan dan jangan cuba mengaitkan PPIM dengan isu yang tidak berkaitan.

“PPIM bersedia memberi kerjasama penuh kepada pihak berkuasa jika diminta berbuat demikian.

“Kami juga mengalu-alukan siasatan pihak berkuasa terhadap dakwaan pihak tidak bertanggungjawab yang berselindung di sebalik profil tanpa identiti di media sosial,” katanya.
