Ahmad Ramzi Mohamad Zubir, the ex-political secretary to former Terengganu menteri besar Idris Jusoh, was released on police bail this morning.

He was freed at about 9.30am from the Terengganu police headquarters.

dr ahmad ramzi mohamad zubir Ahmad Ramzi was picked up yesterday to assist investigations into the threatening text message received by three Barisan Nasional state assemblypersons last month.

Police detained him after the three-day ultimatum for him to turn up and give his statement to the police ended yesterday.

Deputy state police chief Hamzah Mohd Jamil had said with Ahmad Ramzi's arrest, police believed they have settled about 95 percent of the case.

Police also seized two laptop computers and a modem from Ahmad Ramzi's home in Kampung Kubang Parit.

Police had been looking for Ahmad Ramzi as he was among individuals who had given media statements regarding the death threat contained in the text message received by Ajil assemblyperson Rosol Wahid, Abdul Halim Jusoh (Permaisuri) and Zakaria Abdullah (Paka) on April 13.

This prompted 10 BN assemblypersons, including the three who received the message, to stay away from the Terengganu state assembly sitting on April 14.

Hamzah said, Ahmad Ramzi, who was a BN candidate in the 12th general election, was being held at the Terengganu police headquarters and would be remanded if the investigations could not be completed within 24 hours.
