PETALING JAYA: North Korean Ambassador to Malaysia Kang Chol, who was declared persona non grata on March 4, cannot simply be arrested if he chooses to remain in the country after the 48-hour deadline for him to leave expires at 6pm on Monday.

A diplomatic source said that after 6pm, Malaysia would no longer consider Kang Chol a diplomatic officer but an "unwanted person."
