![]()
Kang Chol is now declared persona non grata, and must leave the country in 48 hours.
“Malaysia will react strongly against any insults made against it or any attempt to tarnish its reputation,” Foreign Minister Anifah Aman said in a statement tonight.
Anifah said Kang Chol was expelled after he failed to answer the summon to the foreign ministry to meet with ambassador Raja Nushirwan Zainal Abidin, the deputy secretary-general for bilateral affairs, at 6pm today.
“The ministry has, via a Diplomatic Note sent to the embassy this evening, informed the North Korean government that the Malaysian government has declared His Excellency Mr Kang Chol persona non grata.
Secondly, I feel sorry for the Ambassador's unavoidable expulsion per se which may yet see him executed, depending on the mood in Pyongyang.
Then finally, I feel sorry for our own Malaysian Ambassador in Pyongyang who will be expelled from North Korea as an inevitable tit for tat diplomatic gamesmanship.

You know, I feel sorry for His Excellency the Ambassador twice over.
Firstly, I feel sorry for him as he had no choice but to bersandirawara macam ia biadap-gila in order to show his mad government back in Pyongyang that he's a loyal Kim-Jong-un-ista, in other words, just as mad as they are, or, as I had written in a news media readers column and which Minister Nazri had also commented in likewise fashion, the poor bastard would probably be executed when he returns.
