Wee said he had travelled to Kuala Lumpur from Johor after being summoned by the police.

He also vowed to cooperate with the investigation.

“I’m now at the police station and will cooperate with the police’s investigation to the best of my ability, in order to provide answers to the public and the deceased’s family.

“I will not flee. I have shown up to the police station voluntarily on all past seven arrest warrants, and never did I try to escape,” he said in a social media post.

Police said yesterday that they had been unable to locate Wee following the death of Taiwanese social media influencer Hsieh Yu-hsin.

Hsieh reportedly met with Wee at the hotel in the capital to discuss filming a video together. He was said to have found her dead in a bathtub.

Wee was nabbed by the police on Oct 22 at the hotel, where authorities discovered nine blue pills suspected to be ecstasy in the room. He later tested positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, ketamine and THC.

He was charged with drug possession and consumption but pleaded not guilty. The court allowed him to post bail of RM4,000 for each charge.

Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur police reclassified Hsieh’s death as murder. It was initially classified as sudden death.

Dang Wangi police chief Sazalee Adam said Wee would be remanded today.
