26/11/2025 10:22 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- Police bail for rapper Wee Meng Chee, or Namewee, has been extended for another 14 days from tomorrow until Dec 10.

Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said this was because police are still awaiting the toxicology and post-mortem reports related to the death of Taiwanese influencer Hsieh Yun Hsin, 33, on Oct 22.

“The bail extension was made at 4 pm today,” he said in a brief statement.

Namewee was remanded from Nov 5 to 13 before being released on police bail until today pending the post-mortem report on the victim.

Hsieh was found dead in a bathtub in a hotel bathroom on Jalan Conlay here on Oct 22 before being taken to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for a post-mortem.

The case, initially classified as sudden death, is now being investigated as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Namewee is believed to be the last person seen with the victim.
