RANTAU PANJANG: Federal police Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan has confirmed that four Malaysian nationals detained by Thai authorities last year remain in Thailand as of today.
He said they are currently at the Sungai Golok Immigration Office, awaiting the reactivation of their travel documents.
“Two of the six Malaysians, including singer Eda Ezrin, returned to Malaysia late this afternoon.
“The remaining four are still at the immigration office in Golok, Thailand, pending passport clearance,” he told the New Straits Times when contacted tonight.
Hussein said the four are expected to return to Malaysia tomorrow, once their documentation is in order.
The six Malaysians were reportedly detained by Thai police in November last year during a raid at a hotel in Sungai Golok town.
Thai police also seized 6,059 Yaba pills from the group.
It is learnt that the four still at the Sungai Golok immigration office are Eda Ezrin’s husband Mohd Affendi Ahmad, Mohamad Alif Deraman, Erdieka Mohd Noor, and Zuhaira Nasrin.
Eda Ezrin and her friend Nur Aida Mamat returned to Kelantan this evening but were taken to the Rantau Panjang police station to have their statements recorded.
