KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia will revoke visa-free entry for citizens from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) starting from Monday, Malaysia's Bernama news agency reported on Thursday, citing deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The decision came after a DPRK man with the passport name of "Kim Chol" was murdered by two women at the Kuala Lumpur Airport on Feb. 13. A diplomatic row emerged between the two countries as the DPRK side accused the Malaysian side of "colluding with hostile forces" and delaying the release of the body.
Malaysia insisted its objectivity in the investigation.
