I totally agree with IGP on Kim’s assassination

COMMENT Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar has put up a very good performance on both investigation and handling of the press conference with regard to the assassination of the North Korean president’s half-brother, Kim Jong-nam.

Let me put on record first that the North Korean ambassador, despite having diplomatic immunity, should not be rude when handling this situation.

Right from the beginning, my observations are that Kang Chol has tried to discredit the Malaysian police and the post-mortem being carried out. If he had evidence that Malaysia was colluding with hidden hands, he should provide the evidence instead of ranting away.

Both Foreign Minister Anifah Aman and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak also deserve the credit for standing up and defending the police investigation into the case.

The North Korean ambassador should not be lecturing Malaysia on human rights, when North Korea itself is known for poor human rights protection.

In fact, it was wrong for him to demand that the body be released to the North Korean government instead of the next-of-kin, not to mention that he should not even object to any post-mortem being carried out by the Malaysian authorities, since this crime took place in Malaysia.
