Police in Sungai Kolok, Narathiwat, detained popular Malaysian singer Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Binti Wan Ismail, 28, along with five others in a drug bust involving 6,060 methamphetamine pills.

 

The arrest took place at a Genting hotel in Sungai Kolok in the early hours of November 1, leading to a large gathering of her fans and relatives at the station.

 

Supporters, including some who crossed from Kelantan, Malaysia, came to show support, and one elderly relative fainted at the station entrance, requiring emergency care.

 

Over 50 officers were deployed to manage the crowd of over 100 fans and relatives, eager to offer their encouragement.

 

Police escorted the group, including Wan Norshaheeda and the other suspects - Mohamad Alif Bin Deraman, Mohd Affendi Bin Ahmad, Nur Aida Binti Mamat, Erdieka Bin Mohd Noor, and Zuhaira Nasrin - safely through the courthouse proceedings. All suspects appeared in court with faces obscured by caps and sunglasses.

 

The case has attracted considerable attention in Malaysia, with undercover Malaysian police and journalists present at the Sungai Kolok station.

 

According to Malaysian law enforcement sources, authorities had been monitoring the group for suspected drug activities prior to their arrest in Thailand. Preliminary tests on all six individuals returned positive for drug use, specifically methamphetamine.

 

Erdieka Bin Mohd Noor and Zuhaira Nasrin face additional charges for illegal entry into Thailand, as their passports lacked proper immigration stamps.

 

Each suspect will now present their statements to the court, with authorities continuing their investigation, reported Channel 3 News.

6,060 methamphetamine pills.

 

Malaysia and Singapore implement mandatory death sentencing for drug traffickers.

Back home, that amount is enough to execute her and associates more than 10 times.

 

This incident was also reported  in  Malaysia by its  most popular news: The Star.

Malaysia abolished mandatory death penalty last year:

 

The Abolition of Mandatory Death Penalty Act 2023 came into effect in July 2023, granted judges the discretion of imposing prison sentences of between 30 and 40 years in place of the death penalty for serious crimes including murder, treason, kidnapping, terrorist acts, and drug trafficking.

 

Under the Act, life imprisonment has also been replaced with prison terms of between 30 and 40 years.

Thank you for your advice.

They thought they can take advantage of the new relaxed law?

Even though they can still face death or life sentence  under the current legislation.
