00:00The remand of Malaysian rapper and filmmaker Wee Mengchi, better known as Name Wee, has been extended for another three days as investigations continue into the death of Taiwanese influencer Xie Yuxin.
00:15Nam Wee's lawyer, Joshua Tay, speaking outside the Dangwangi Police Headquarters, confirmed that the remand period has now been extended until Thursday.
00:23Of course, we appeared on behalf of my client and we opposed the remand. And the magistrate, after hearing the sanctions from both parties, granted three additional days, which will run until Thursday.
00:38Three additional days?
00:39Three additional days.
00:39Okay. And then, after that, what's going to happen?
00:43For now, I think just let the investigation code follow its course. I think the next steps are for the police to decide.
00:50I think they will have to leave the deputy public prosecutor and then decide the next steps.
00:55As of now, I think what I can confirm is, and the reason why they're asking for extension of the remand is because the investigation is not completed.
01:02Right? I think for those who are curious, I've had the opportunity to see Name Wee.
01:09He appears in good health and in good spirits.
01:12How is your client Name Wee doing? Is it a plea?
01:15Well, I think being in detention is not, it's far from idea. But of course, I think health-wise, he's okay.
01:23And like I said, he's, he has a positive mindset and he's in good spirits. I think that's all I can say.
