Police rescue 402 children from charity homes linked to banned religious sect as CEO admits to some wrongdoing.

Authorities rescued 402 children from charity homes allegedly run by Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) Holdings, uncovering signs of physical and sexual abuse.
GISB CEO Nasiruddin Ali admitted in a video statement that there were 'one or two' cases of sodomy but denied other misconduct allegations.
The Malaysian conglomerate has historical ties to the banned Al-Arqam religious sect, which was outlawed in 1994 for deviant teachings.
Police have detained 159 individuals and are expanding their investigation to include potential financial crimes and worker exploitation.
Malaysia's Islamic Development Department plans to present a report on suspected deviant teachings by GISB to the cabinet and religious authorities.
