Amirudin was speaking to the press after launching the Rumah Idaman, Putra Idaman, and Saujana Idaman groundbreaking ceremony today.
Meanwhile, he said the state government will help children associated with GISBH in various aspects, especially in matters related to education.
"I also want to see on Monday (September 30) the fate of the children (GISBH) who do not go to school or who are detained by the authorities now.
"The issue (is) of education and their future is important and the state government will try to help because that is our priority," Amirudin said.
Previously, the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj ordered actions related to the GISBH issue to be expedited.
The Menteri Besar previously said the state government will ban the operation of GISBH's premises after obtaining a full report from the police and the state Islamic Religious Committee.
On September 11, through Op Global, the police raided 20 charity homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan linked to GISBH for alleged child and religious exploitation activities.
