KUALA TERENGGANU: Malaysian leaders will remain rational in facing the diplomatic issues with North Korea, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic). He urged Malaysians to be united for the sake of security and peace in the country. Nine Malaysians remain in North Korea after being barred from leaving the country last week. Malaysia reacted to Pyongyang's travel ban by imposing the same restrictions on North Koreans living in the country. The diplomatic row between Malaysia and North Korea was ignited following disagreements over certain issues in regard to the remains of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam, who was murdered at KL International Airport 2 on Feb 13.
