Malaysian diplomat should be named, says NZ Foreign Affairs minister


PETALING JAYA: New Zealand’s Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully (pic) has called for the name of a Malaysian diplomat accused of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old New Zealand woman to be made public, the New Zealand Herald reported. 

"I can't see any good public policy reason why you'd want to protect someone from publicity given there won't be a trial (in New Zealand),” he said Tuesday.
