Local singer Namewee emphasized that he did not use drugs and did not carry drugs, adding that the truth will be revealed once the police report is released.
Namewee posted on Facebook today, expressing that he was very angry after seeing news reports that he was charged in court for drug possession and drug abuse, and he felt compelled to issue a unified clarification due to the volume of inquiries he received.
He emphasized: “I have no drugs, and I did not carry drugs, at most I’ve been drinking a bit more recently.”
“Those who believe, will believe, and those who don’t, won’t, but the truth will come out once the police report is ready, which should take another two or three months.”
He explained that his prior silence was because the case was still under investigation, preventing him from disclosing details, but he and his team have been subjected to extortion over the past few days.
He added that both he and his team expressed regret over the sudden death of Iris Hsieh in Malaysia, further stating that the ambulance was delayed by almost an hour when the incident occurred, which he found deeply frustrating.
Taiwanese influencer “Nursing Goddess” Iris Hsieh, 31, reportedly died suddenly while working in Malaysia.
Earlier today, police revealed that controversial Namewee was present at the scene and was subsequently found by police with suspected drugs on his person, leading to him being charged in court.
However, Namewee pleaded not guilty to the charges of drug possession and drug abuse and was subsequently released on bail.

“Namewee (42) was also in the hotel room at the time, and police recovered 9 blue pills suspected to be drugs from his person, arresting him on the spot,” he said.
He told China Press that Namewee was charged in court on the 24th of last month under Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 (Drug Possession) and Section 15(1)(a) (Drug Abuse).
“Namewee pleaded not guilty to the charges, after which he posted bail and was released,” he added.
Separately, ACP Sazalee said that police investigation found that Namewee has 5 prior records.
