The Malaysian PM directed the police force to prevent all DPRK people from leaving the country until Malaysia is ensured about the safety and security of all Malaysians in the DPRK.
He also urged the DPRK to immediately free all Malaysian citizens to avoid any further escalation.
The closure of the Embassy of the DPRK in Malaysia will be discussed on March 10.
