All is quiet at North Korean embassy in KL

The atmosphere at the North Korean embassy here has been quiet since morning, only a few vehicles belonging to the embassy were seen going in and out of the premises.

Journalists from various local and foreign media, including South Korea and Japan, were at the embassy as early as 9am to get the latest information and tried to get feedback from officers there but received no positive response.

The North Korean embassy in Malaysia has become the focus following the death of Kim Jong-nam, the older half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, last Monday.

Last Monday, Jong-nam was at the KL International Airport 2 at 8am and while waiting to board a flight to Macau a woman suddenly covered his face with a cloth laced with what is believed to be poison.

Jong-nam who is believed to have arrived in Malaysia from Macau on Feb 6, was rushed to the Putrajaya Hospital but died on the way. - BERNAMA
