GMRB militant group funds operations in Syria, Bangladesh via Malaysia
Initial investigations indicate the group had between 100 and 150 members, all Bangladeshi nationals employed in labour-intensive sectors such as factories, construction sites, and petrol stations across Malaysia. 'The funds collected were then transferred abroad using e-wallet applications and international money transfer services,' Mohd Khalid said during a press conference.
The group reportedly used social media platforms and messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram to recruit new members. Authorities are intensifying efforts to track financial flows and dismantle remaining networks linked to the militant group.
