KUALA LUMPUR: The police bail for rapper Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, has been extended for another month until Jan 11, 2026.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said the extension was necessary as the police are still awaiting the toxicology report and autopsy results concerning the death of Taiwanese influencer Hsieh Yun Hsin, 33. These reports are expected to take approximately three months.
"We are still waiting for the toxicology report and the findings from the Chemistry Department. Therefore, Namewee's bail has been extended while the investigation continues," he told reporters at the launch of the Amanita 2025 Adopted Park at Seri Alam Phase 2, People Housing Project here on Saturday (Dec 13).
Namewee was remanded from Nov 5 to 13 before being released on police bail until Dec 10, pending the autopsy report on Hsieh.
Hsieh was found dead in a bathtub at a hotel on Jalan Conlay on Oct 22, and her body was sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for an autopsy.
The case, initially classified as a sudden death, is now being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. – Bernama
