RANTAU PANJANG – Kelantanese singer Eda Ezrin, along with her husband and four acquaintances, will be detained by police upon their return to Kelantan on Thursday afternoon.
The detention is to facilitate the recording of their statements following their recent release from Thai custody.
Eda Ezrin, whose real name is Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan Ismail, 30, and the five other individuals are expected to arrive at the Sungai Golok police station.
From there, they will proceed to the Golok Immigration Detention Depot for documentation before being allowed to return home.
Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat confirmed the development, adding that two of the six individuals will also face arrest under immigration laws.
'We have stationed officers for this action. However, two of the six individuals who entered Thailand illegally will be arrested under Section 5(2) of the Immigration Act 1958/63,' he said.

Thai soldiers injured by landmine near Cambodia amid fragile ceasefire
BANGKOK (Reuters) -Three Thai soldiers were injured by a landmine while patrolling the border with Cambodia, the Thai army said in a statement on Saturday, days after the two neighbours agreed to a detailed ceasefire following a violent five-day conflict last month. One soldier lost a foot and two others were injured after one of them stepped on a landmine as they patrolled an area between Thailand's Sisaket and Cambodia's Preah Vihear provinces on Saturday morning, the Thai army said. The soldiers are being treated at a hospital, the army said. Cambodia's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The incident is the third time in a few weeks that Thai soldiers have been injured by mines while patrolling along the border. Two previous similar incidents led to the downgrading of diplomatic relations and triggered five days of violent clashes. The Southeast Asian neighbours were engaged in deadly border clashes from July 24-28, in the worst fighting between the two in more than a decade. The exchanges of artillery fire and jet fighter sorties claimed at least 43 lives and left over 300,000 people displaced on both sides. A fragile ceasefire has been holding since Thailand and Cambodia agreed on Thursday to allow observers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to inspect disputed border areas to ensure hostilities do not resume. Bangkok accused Cambodia of planting landmines on the Thai side of the disputed border that injured soldiers on July 16 and July 23. Phnom Penh denied it had placed any new mines and said the soldiers had veered off agreed routes and triggered old landmines left from its decades of war.

Pakistani among 5 arrested for rubber latex smuggling in Perak
IPOH: A Pakistani national was among five people detained by the General Operations Force (GOF) for involvement in rubber latex smuggling activities over the past two months. Northern Brigade GOF commander, Senior Assistant Commissioner Shahrum Hashim, said they were arrested at 2.30am on Friday during Op Intra. "We also seized over 35,400kg of rubber latex, a tanker truck, as well as various machinery and equipment used to transfer the rubber latex. "The operation was carried out by the Intelligence Branch of the GOF Northern Brigade, with assistance from the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB), Taiping Municipal Council, and Taiping district police headquarters," he said. He added that the operations team tracked a tanker truck carrying rubber latex from Kedah to a premises in Taiping, where the suspects, aged between 32 and 59, were transferring the rubber latex using hoses. "At the premises, they transferred the rubber latex using hoses into an IBC tank (bulk storage tank) with a capacity of 1,000kg. "An inspection found that the tanker truck driver had sold 900kg of rubber latex, using a trick by replacing the weight of the sold latex by placing several weights on the body of the tanker. "This was done so that the customer receiving the rubber latex would not notice the reduction in weight during the re-weighing process," he said in a statement today. He added that the total value of the seizure was estimated to be more than RM789,000. "The Pakistani man detained was found to have violated the conditions of his work permit, an offence under Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Act 1959/63. "He was handed over to the police, while the other four detainees and the seized items were handed over to the MRB for further investigation," he said. The case is being investigated under the Malaysian Rubber Board Licensing and Permit Regulations 2014, namely Regulation 3(1)(a) and Regulation 7(1)(f). He added that fines and licence cancellations could be imposed by the MRB if a breach of licence conditions is proven.
