KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- Rehabilitation efforts for children rescued under Op Global involving GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) are comprehensive, covering faith, counselling, patriotism, education and skills, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said the focus extends to reuniting these children with their parents and families.

He said that the rehabilitation measures involve experts to ensure the children can reintegrate safely into society and reduce trauma risk from being victims of GISBH.
