SEPANG (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - A car with a North Korean embassy plate arrived at the Malaysian police headquarters at about 4pm on Wednesday (Feb 22), catching journalists by surprise.

An embassy staff was then seen walking into the office. He did not respond when a reporter shouted a question to him from outside the fence of the police station.

The car, an MPV, left the station half an hour later.

Reporters had rushed to the car hoping to get comments from the embassy staff, but the driver drove off.

North Korean embassy officials have protested at the way the murder of Mr Kim Jong Nam has been handled. Mr Kim, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was killed after an attack at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) on Feb 13.
