Sabah Govt Closely Monitoring, Reviewing GISBH Operations

The Sabah government, through the Sabah Islamic Affairs Coordination Committee (JaPHEIS), is closely monitoring and reviewing the operations of GISB Holdings (GISBH) Sdn Bhd to determine whether it is associated with any prohibited or deviant beliefs in the state.

State Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation Datuk Dr. Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif said that JaPHEIS, chaired by him, includes members from the Sabah Islamic Religious Council (MUIS), the Sabah Department of Islamic Affairs (JHEAINS), and other collaborating agencies.

He said the involved agencies, including the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, and the Malaysian Immigration Department, hold regular discussions regarding Islamic affairs in Sabah, covering topics such as halal certification, faith, and other related issues.
