00:00We are aware that the Justice Department has arrested several GISBH individuals
00:05related to Sharia crimes, such as the issue of Akhidah,
00:08immorality without justice, unlawful marriage, and the issue of child abduction.
00:15So my question is, how does the Justice Department
00:18explain the actions that will be taken against those involved
00:22in the Sharia laws that are different according to the country?
00:26And secondly, how many GISB religious schools and schools of worship
00:31are there in the country?
00:33And how many have been arrested and taken action against?
00:41Thank you, Your Honour.
00:43On the question that was given,
00:45the government always discusses and deals with the heads of state religious authorities
00:52to ensure that any action taken against those involved in Sharia crimes
00:58is lawful and fair.
01:00For example, in the case of GISBH,
01:05a negotiation with the heads of state religious authorities
01:10has been carried out with all the states in Malaysia.
01:14This has resulted in several decisions that I can share with you.
01:18Several decisions that have resulted in the implementation of action plans
01:24in the case of GISBH.
01:27The first is the restoration of Akhidah,
01:29which was proposed by Mr. Jakim.
01:32Then there is the issue of unlawful marriage,
01:34which was proposed by the heads of state religious authorities.
01:38In order to help those involved in GISBH,
01:43we consulted with the heads of state religious authorities
01:47in terms of Zakat.
01:49A restoration module has also been built.
01:51So far, seven modules have been built.
01:54And a restoration centre has also been set up.
01:57So, regarding the second question,
01:59which is regarding the number of religious houses
02:02and the number of temporary places provided,
02:07I would like to provide a written answer
02:10because the facts need to be correct.
02:12And it requires a more accurate and sound analysis.
02:21I have one additional question.
02:24We know that GISBH was accused of continuing the practice of the Muhammadiyah.
02:32Okay.
02:33That is a major accusation.
02:35But so far, it has not been claimed under the accusation.
02:39I have seen it clearly in the list of accusations.
02:42Some have been accused of being involved in a group of planned crimes, etc.
02:48But the original accusation has not been made so far.
02:52So, I would like to get an explanation.
02:54Why was the accusation not continued,
02:57even though that was the main accusation?
02:59Secondly, as a company,
03:01GISB was accused of not paying income tax, etc.
03:04So far, there has not been a single accusation brought against the company.
03:09And I would like to ask,
03:11how long will these children be detained
03:16and separated from their parents?
03:18Because there was a case of children who were detained for a year and a half
03:21and they had to use lawyers to get money to get their children back.
03:26So, I would like to get an explanation. Thank you.
03:28Thank you for the question.
03:30There are several components to the question.
03:34As a response to the first component,
03:38which is the accusation on the aspect of Akhidah.
03:42Actually, if we look at it,
03:44before proceeding with any claim on the aspect of Akhidah,
03:48there needs to be a legal settlement.
03:51So, I would like to share here that
03:53several countries have made a legal settlement until October.
03:56The country of Perlis, Pahang, Selangor,
03:59as well as MKI has also held a trial
04:03and has established several legal settlements.
04:07And these legal settlements will be the reference
04:10to make a claim.
04:12In addition to that, to ensure that before the claim is made,
04:15the evidence needs to be ensured,
04:19the legitimacy and strength of the evidence itself.
04:22So, in this aspect, we leave it to the authorities,
04:27especially from the Shari'a authorities,
04:29to investigate this matter in a better way.
04:33The second question, I would like to take some time,
04:35which is related to the company's rights.
04:38We leave this to the authorities.
04:41It is not under the jurisdiction of the religious authorities,
04:44but it is under the jurisdiction of other authorities.
04:47Until when will they be held?
04:49Actually, if we look at the data
04:52and the reports that have been carried out,
04:55actually, all parties that collaborate together
04:59are not just one party.
05:01It includes the MKN, PDRM, JAKIM,
05:06and many other parties.
05:07Indeed, these agencies have SOP
05:11and also follow the existing laws.
05:13All things cannot be done in a happy manner.
05:16Therefore, we give a belief and confidence
05:20that this agency plays its role as best as possible
05:23to protect the well-being of all those involved.
05:27That's all. Thank you.
