Police to detain and drug test Eda Ezrin, five others upon return from Thailand
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — Police will arrest Kelantanese singer Eda Ezrin, her husband, and four friends the moment they return from Thailand, which released them from drug charges yesterday. Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said officers have been deployed for this purpose ahead of their arrival, Sinar Harian reported. He added that two individuals from the group will be arrested under Section 5(2) of the Immigration Act 1958/63 for entering Thailand illegally. Eda Ezrin, whose real name is Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan Ismail, 30, will be detained along with her husband, Mohd Affendi Ahmad, 35, and three others. The group is scheduled to arrive at the Sungai Golok police station this afternoon, after clearing the Golok Immigration Detention Depot.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said Kelantan police will record their statements and collect urine samples for drug screening.

Dikir barat singer Eda Ezrin walks free after Thai court clears drug charges
KOTA BHARU, Aug 6 — Dikir barat singer Wan Norshaheeda Azlin, better known as Eda Ezrin, was released today after being held for more than nine months at Narathiwat Central Prison in Thailand. The Narathiwat prison court freed the 30-year-old singer along with her husband and four others at about 11am local time, Berita Harian reported. They were released after Thai prosecutors failed to produce witnesses or evidence to support their appeal against an earlier acquittal. The six were originally arrested by Sungai Golok police on November 1 last year during a raid at a hotel, where they were accused of possessing 6,059 Yaba pills. On March 6, the Narathiwat Provincial Court acquitted Eda, her husband Mohd Affendi Ahmad, 35, and their friends Eridieka Mohd Noor, 33, Mohamad Alif Deraman, 33, Nur Aida Mamat, 33, and Zuhaira Nasrin, 26, after hearings held in February. Despite the acquittal, prosecutors filed five successive appeals to delay the release — the first from March 6 to April 6, followed by four more until August 6. When the prosecution failed to substantiate their case during the extended appeal period, the court dismissed the case and ordered their release. Eda's father, Wan Ismail Wan Yusuf, 52, said the family was grateful and would hold a thanksgiving prayer and feast at a nearby mosque tomorrow night to celebrate her freedom.
