KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia said on Saturday it will issue an arrest warrant for a North Korean diplomat wanted for questioning over the murder of Kim Jong-nam if he doesn't voluntarily cooperate with the police. "Reasonable" time will be given for the diplomat to come forward before police take further action, said Selangor police chief Datuk Abdul Samah Mat. On Wednesday, Malaysia said 44-year-old Hyon Kwang Song, a second secretary at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur, was wanted for questioning over the death of the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. Eight North Koreans are wanted in connection with the case, including the diplomat. Abdul Samah also confirmed that authorities raided an apartment in an upscale Kuala Lumpur suburb on Wednesday in connection with the killing.
