KEPALA BATAS: The two Malaysians under the United Nation’s World Food Programme (WFP), who were allowed to leave Pyongyang for Beijing on Thursday, will stay in China for the time being.

Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican said Friday he had spoken to the two Malaysian staff members Stella Lim and Nyanaprakash Muniandy who will continue the UN programme in Beijing.

North Korea on Tuesday barred Malaysians from leaving the country, which led to Malaysia doing the same to North Korean citizens here.

A diplomatic row is brewing between Malaysia and North Korea after the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on Feb 13.

North Korea has condemned Malaysia’s handling of the case, and accused Malaysia of colluding with South Korea in the investigation.

Malaysia later recalled its ambassador to the hermit kingdom, and expelled North Korean ambassador Kang Chol. – Bernama
