But I understand he may have felt pressured, because this is what they (Upko) voiced out about," Anwar told reporters in Tawau today.Meanwhile, in a separate story, the remand order against rapper Wee Meng Chee, better known as Namewee, has been extended for another three days to assist in the investigation into the death of Taiwanese influencer Hsieh Yun Hsin.His lawyer, Joshua Tay said the police had applied for the extension on the grounds that the investigation was still ongoing.___________________📌 Share this news!
