Death for a tweet

Hello everybody, this is my first post in Qatar Living and I wanted to share with you the following story, which I find totally outrageous

Hamza Kashgari is a Saudi columnist and blogger, who sparked outrage by tweeting the following imaginary conversation with the prophet mohd "I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you, and there is a lot I don't understand about you. I will not pray for you.". He then deleted the tweet and apologized after receiving more than 30,000 responses including death threats, he fled from Saudi Arabia but was arrested by police in Malaysia while he was en route to New Zealand, he was held incommunicado and denied access to legal representation and later extradited to Saudi Arabia, where he is facing the death penalty on charges of "insulting the prophet".

Malaysia doesn't have an extradition agreement with Saudi Arabia, his lawyers tried to stop the extradition but were too late.

My question is , why did he have a stop over in Malaysia? Why not go straight to a safe country?
