Malaysian singer Eda Ezrin has opened up about her time at the Narathiwat Provincial Central Prison in Thailand, a month after her release on Aug 6.
In a TikTok livestream last week, the 30-year-old said she shared a room with 50 other inmates.
She added that detainees were allowed to buy food and personal items – including toiletries, toothbrushes, makeup and even perfumes – provided they had money in their bank account.
Eda, whose real name is Wan Norsahidah Azlin Wan Ismail, said she felt comfortable during her detention, citing good treatment and decent living conditions.
“There were fans and televisions. For bathing, water dippers were provided. However, I often used the rain shower since there’s usually not enough water (in the pail),” she said.
The Cinta Setandan Pisang singer added that her routine inside prison wasn’t very different from her usual lifestyle at home.
Still, she admitted that being apart from her family, especially during Hari Raya, was difficult.
Eda, her husband and four friends were charged by the Narathiwat Provincial Court in November 2024 with drug use and possession of 6,059 yaba (methamphetamine) pills.
The six accused were sentenced to six months in jail and fined 4,000 Thai baht (RM531) after pleading guilty to drug use.
However, they were exempted from paying the fine after serving four months in jail and demonstrating good behaviour throughout their detention at the Narathiwat Prison.
