KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 – The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is currently investigating claims made via the Pusat Kajian Ajaran Sesat (PUKAS) Facebook account regarding the existence of GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) quarantine centres at various locations, both domestically and abroad.
In a media statement, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said these quarantine centres are believed to be used for indoctrination and to subject problematic members to mental abuse.
PUKAS, a centre that researches deviationist teachings, alleged that these quarantine methods are believed to originate from practices introduced by the founder of Al-Arqam and Rufaqa, Abuya Ashaari, where problematic members of the congregation were isolated in remote locations.
They were quarantined, prohibited from social interactions, and confined to small rooms or specific spaces for self-reflection. These centres are reportedly located on GISBH-owned land in remote areas.
Razarudin said PDRM is actively tracing assets linked to or owned by GISBH to facilitate the investigation.
