Eda Ezrin back in Malaysia, detained with one other, say Bukit Aman
PASIR MAS: Two out of six Malaysians previously detained by Thai authorities over drug-related offences, including dikir barat singer Eda Ezrin, returned to Malaysia on Thursday (Aug 7) evening. Eda Ezrin, whose real name is Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan, and Nur Aida Mamat, 33, are currently under the custody of the Kelantan Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID). Bukit Aman NCID director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the remaining four individuals are still in Thailand, pending passport activation before they can be repatriated. "All six are assisting Thai authorities with further investigations," he told Bernama. The four still held in Thailand have been identified as Eridieka Mohd Noor, 33; Zuhaira Nasrin; Eda Ezrin's husband, Mohd Affendi Ahmad, 35; and Mohamad Alif Deraman, 33. Meanwhile, Eda Ezrin's father, Wan Ismail Wan Yusuf, 52, expressed relief and gratitude following her return to Malaysia, when he was met outside the Rantau Panjang police station on Thursday night. Earlier on Thursday, Bernama observed family members gathered at the police station as Eda Ezrin was being questioned by narcotics investigators. She and five other Malaysians, including her husband, were released by the Narathiwat Prison Court about 11 am (local time) after Thai prosecutors failed to present witnesses or evidence to support an appeal. The group had been detained since Nov 1 last year after being accused of possessing 6,059 Yaba pills. On Wednesday (Aug 6), the court dismissed the prosecution's sixth attempt to extend the appeal deadline. Eda Ezrin and Nur Aida Mamat were transported from Sungai Golok in an immigration van at 6 pm after completing documentation at the Thai immigration office. - Bernama
