Utusan Malaysia reports that the Malaysian Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has dismissed rapper Namewee's plea to drop or amend charges related to possessing scheduled poison. This decision means Namewee will proceed to face trial for the alleged offense.
Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, had previously pleaded not guilty to possessing 0.78 grams of Sildenafil, a scheduled poison, at a hotel in Jalan Conlay, Kuala Lumpur, in October 2025. The charge, brought under the Poisons Act 1952, carries a potential fine of up to RM50,000 or a prison sentence of up to five years.

In addition to the Sildenafil charge, Namewee is also facing a separate charge for possessing methamphetamine. He has also maintained his not guilty plea for this offense, which falls under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
This development is significant in Malaysia, where Namewee has often courted controversy. The AGC's decision underscores the legal process moving forward, and Utusan Malaysia will continue to follow the case closely. For the Malaysian public, this case touches upon issues of drug enforcement and the legal ramifications faced by public figures, highlighting the country's strict stance on such matters.
