Malaysian rapper Namewee calls for justice after Malaysian student murdered in Tainan

Malaysian rapper Namewee (黃明志) on Sunday listed five reasons why Malaysians would choose to study in Taiwan: “low tuition fees, rights to work while studying, mandarin education, beautiful girls and safety.”

The popular entertainer was sharing his surprise at the recent murder of a Malaysian college student in southern Taiwan, calling for justice and sending condolences to the victim’s family.

“As an expatriate, I can testify that all five of these points are true,” he wrote, stressing that “even a murderer would be safe (in Taiwan).”

The comment attracted local media attention as the parents of the 24-year old Malaysian student headed to the mortuary in Kaohsiung in the early hours of Monday to identify the body.

​The student from Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU) in Tainan was discovered on Oct 29, 2020 in Kaohsiung’s mountainous Alian District after the school reported her missing a day earlier.

Police reportedly found and arrested a 28-year-old man who confessed to killing the student and dumping her body in the mountains of Kaohsiung.
