Ex Gisb Member Speaks Out Urges Boycott Of Group

---

 
SHAH ALAM: Sabrina Bolivar, the daughter of a former high-ranking official of Al-Arqam, now known as Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB), is urging the public to stop supporting the group.
In a series of TikTok videos, she claims that the stories surrounding GISB are the truth and expressed concern over the group's increasing online support, reports Sinar Harian.
"I have seen many people supporting the group (GISB) on TikTok and the Internet, so I feel like I have to say something to raise awareness, especially in Malaysia," she said.

She claimed that her grandmother rescued her from the banned Al-Arqam sect when she was six years old, along with her three other siblings and mother.
Sabrina, now a content creator currently living in France, also addressed allegations that the nationwide crackdown of GISB was to “bring down a Malay-Muslim business”.
She said the police raids were not about business but the alleged mistreatment of families, especially children, within the group.
“I know this because I was one of them,” she said, adding that her father had 28 children and her mother was his fourth wife.
Regarding the boycott of GISB-owned restaurants, she said she had been staying away from its eateries and businesses since she was young because of her traumatic experiences within the group.

Sabrina claimed that she and her 27 siblings lived in deplorable conditions in the sect.
"I witnessed it with my own eyes. My mom was separated from my father when I was seven. When I visited my father's home in Rawang, all my siblings in the house were sharing a towel, and the toilet was super dirty.
"I even vomited because we were served fried noodles every day in a single tray," she said.
She alleged that neglect and abuse were the reality faced by GISB members.
Sabrina also claimed that many children were sent to male leaders to be “taken care of” but many among them did not know exactly who was looking after the youngsters.

"That is part of the trauma I had when I was a kid. I was one of the 28 kids my father had, we all have abandonment issues because he was too busy with the group," Sabrina added.
She said her father would only visit her and the siblings once every two years before he died when she was 17.
Sabrina also urged those supporting GISB to consider the alleged neglect and abuse of children and women that has led to police and other authorities taking concerted action.
