Malaysia to cancel visa-free entry for North Koreans

Malaysia has decided to cancel visa-free entry for North Koreans. Deputy Prime Minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, said in Kuala Lumpur that visa-free entry for North Koreans entering the country is cancelled from March 6, due to security reasons. He said North Koreans will be required to obtain a visa before entering Malaysia for national security reasons. <br/><br/>The move comes two weeks after Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was killed at the Kuala Lumpur airport with a toxic nerve agent. South Korea and U.S. say he was assassinated by agents of the North Korean regime. <br/><br/>Two women- one from Vietnam and other from Indonesia were charged with his murder by a Kuala Lumpur court yesterday.
