SHAH ALAM – The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has ordered the setting up of a committee responsible for rehabilitating children rescued from GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISB).

According to a post on Selangor Royal Office Facebook today, the committee is tasked to produce a detailed working paper to identify the best methods for rehabilitating the more than 600 affected children.

Sultan Sharafuddin urged the matter to be addressed without delay as it involves the future of the children concerned.

“This committee will report directly to His Royal Highness and will be responsible for rehabilitating and reintegrating the children into society within the specified timeframe,” read the post.

Earlier, Sultan Sharafuddin granted an audience to the Selangor Islamic Affairs and Innovation Committee chairman, Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah, and the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) member, Senator Datuk Salehuddin Saidin, at Istana Bukit Kayangan here.
