PETALING JAYA -

On Dec 11, Hu messaged his friends and family, saying he was in Taiwan and intended to extend his stay for several more months. Afterwards, he went off the radar, Chinese-language newspaper Sin Chew Daily reported.

His family in Bentong, Pahang, lodged a police report and sought help from Bilut assemblyman Lee Chin Chen in the hope of enlisting the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia to help locate Hu in Taiwan.

When contacted, Mr Lee confirmed that the office in Malaysia had responded to him at 8.30pm, verifying the news.
