Default North Korea bans Malaysians

.....from leaving North Korea. What kind of hell-hole country do you have when your response to your people being expelled is to ban the other countries' people from leaving yours?


Malaysians 'banned from leaving North Korea'

Probably because the response they'd get if they banned Malaysians from entering North Korea would be "Big Freaking Deal!"

Lets say given a choice between travelling to New Zealand and North Korea you would choose.....?
Between visiting Argentina and North Korea you would choose.....?

North Korea however is probably among the top 5 so far places you'd like to leave ASAP.

The mastermind of the attack is holed up in the North Korean embassy in Malysia hence the travel ban by Malaysia.

Say what you want about Trump and his immigration policy... In the end you can judge the quality of a nation by one single factor: Whether they have to fight to try to keep people in, or keep people out.

Wait till the protests start. Thousands will take to the streets burning and looting and vandalizing.

It just won't be in North Korea.

If that is the case and it very well might be, the USA should remove the inscription on the Statue of Liberty or at least add another clause.

Probably not a whimper but a good possibility of a mushroom cloud.

If I were Malaysian and living in North Korea they couldn't catch me to kick me out as I'd be moving faster than trumps finger on an itchy spot

Nah, nothing to admire about NK...reminds me of David Koresh and his cronies. Two groups led by nutcases vs everyone else, and we know how that ended for DK.

No they are not a country to admire, no matter what position they are in. You clearly know nothing of the atrocities committed there. I can't understand why you would say something like that.

I think it was just a bad word choice. The little fat dude has a certain type of insanity that could be thought of as having balls. Actually I don't think he has balls because it takes balls to try to live in peace.

Well said. I guess when we think we have it bad, we should keep in mind that it could be way worse. NK is a complete mess regardless of how they got there.

Koresh didn't have chemical weapons and nukes, or it would have ended very differently !
