Hamid said the conditions laid down are strict and this would help to rehabilitate Yazid.

“We will not give up on the rehab process,” he said, adding that the eyes of the police force are on Yazid.

The function was also attended by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng and Human Resources Minister M Kula Segaran.

Yazid was freed after serving two years behind bars under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota).

He is required to wear an electronic monitoring device and is required to seek permission before he can travel outside Ampang.

It has been reported that Yazid had acquired four tonnes of ammonium nitrate to prepare for a series of bombings in Singapore in 2000 but the plot by the Jemaah Islamiyah terror network was foiled.
