PETALING JAYA: Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) has lambasted North Korea for banning Malaysians there from temporarily leaving the country.

“Tantamount to taking hostages. This is unacceptable. DPRK (North Korea) must allow free passage of Malaysians at once,” he tweeted on Tuesday, in an immediate response to an AFP report stating that Pyongyang had prohibited all Malaysians from leaving until the Kim Jong-nam murder case is “properly solved.”
