TEMERLOH: There is no connection whatsoever between PAS and Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings, says Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.

The PAS president claimed that there had been news reports from international media linking the party with the company allegedly at the centre of a recent child exploitation case.

"These news reports are incorrect. They are not our members, and they have nothing to do with us. This requires a police investigation," Abdul Hadi told reporters after opening the 70th PAS muktamar in Kerdau on Saturday (Sept 14).

He added that care centres under PAS are managed properly.

On Sept 11, police rescued 402 children, comprising 201 boys and 201 girls, aged between one and 17, from the 20 care homes in Selangor and Negri Sembilan in a rescue operation codenamed Ops Global.

A total of 171 suspects, aged between 17 and 64, were arrested, including a teacher and dorm caretakers.

Global Ikhwan has denied the allegations.
