Verifiability of Malaysian descent claim

I am removing the personal life section of this page as it solely adresses Flemming's supposed Malaysian roots, which are currently being referenced by a news article published in Malaysian newspaper New Straits Times.^[1] This is the only available online source claiming this. Furthermore, it is provedly false, as Josh Brownhill, who in the same article is also adressed as allegedly being Malaysian, recently cleared up the rumour denying any ties to Malaysia.^[2]^[3]^[4] One news article reporting on this even directly cites and refutes the aforementioned New Straits Times article.^[5] I argue there are too many other sources disputing the claims of the one only source backing this rumour to justify portraying it as definitive truth.
