North Korean Counsellor Upset With Journalist Who Recorded Him Dumping Items Outside Embassy

North Korean Counsellor Upset With Journalist Who Recorded Him Dumping Items Outside Embassy - North Korean counsellor in Malaysia Kim Yu-Song became upset with a journalist who recorded him throwing rubbish in front of the North Korean embassy at 9.15pm Tuesday.

He was heard shouting in the Korean language and pointing his finger at the journalist who was using his handphone to record his action.

The journalist from Bernama however, continued to record what was unfolding at the embassy when items like a bed, television set, air conditioner, chairs, table and boxes were thrown out.

About 10 minutes later, a man, believed to be a worker from the embassy tried to grab the hand phone from the Bernama journalist who was standing outside the compound of the embassy.

After failing to grab the hand phone, the embassy staff tried to come closer to the journalist but the journalist moved away to avoid any commotion or provocation.

The embassy staff later returned to the compound of the embassy where Yu-Song was busy dumping the items.

Local and foreign journalists have been camping outside the embassy since the murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam at KLIA2 on Feb 13.

The relationship between Malaysia and North Korea has been tense since the incident with both countries having recalled their ambassadors.
