If, as was “imaginatively” accused by North Korea, Malaysia was in conspiracy with some foreign powers to try to implicate North Korea in this case, then why would Malaysia not simply and hastily slap some unfounded charges on the North Korean suspect? Of course, Malaysia should not be overly complacent about the trust that the international community has given its stance and capabilities. This is especially so when dealing with a case which was, in a sense, ruthlessly lobbed at Malaysia unprovoked. The mainstream international community cannot be blamed for alienating them over this. Frankly speaking, what I worry about most in this case is not the diplomatic squabble between the two countries.
