Can K-pop bridge the divide between the two Koreas? South Korea’s unification minister thinks so

Mr. Kim, an outspoken critic of human rights abuses in North Korea, said that by focusing on antagonism in inter-Korean relationships, it is believed that this will serve the purpose of deflecting inside anger arising from economic pain and food scarcity outward.

” However, highlighting this hostility serves also as a defense for North Korea’s use of resources to develop nuclear weapons and missiles,” the statement continues.

He noted that Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, and his parents Kim Jong Il, both whose intentions were shared in Pyongyang, are now in disharmony. Kim Il Sung, Kim Il Sung’s father, and Kim Jong Il’s parents, both announced in January that they are abandoning reconciliation.

Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il’s legacy is being erased by the North Korean government. The Kim Jong Un program is a congenital dictator, standing on the efforts of the previous officials, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il”, said Minister Kim. &nbsp,

” But it could create intellectual misunderstandings or a void within the North Vietnamese elite circle if they choose to reject the three wonderful principles of nationwide reunification and just treat them as memorials.”

Reconciliation must be achieved in accordance with the three principles, be achieved through peaceful means, and transcending differences. They were reached in their first-ever mutual agreement between the two Koreas in 1972.

‘Be careful. It might explode’: Hoax bomb package with warning note at Malaysia’s KLIA causes panic

SINGAPORE:” Be watchful. Do no put it, it may explode. This is a bomb”.

This was the warning on a package that arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA ) Cargo Terminal on Thursday ( April 25 ), adding that security checks discovered it contained a laptop, batteries, and wires.

However, it afterwards turned out to be a scam.

The Royal Malaysia Police’s Bomb Disposal Unit took action in accordance with standard operating procedures ( SOP),” said Assistant Commissioner Azman Shari’at, KLIA district police chief, adding that the package contained no explosive materials but had a threatening statement on it.

According to Mr. Azman, who was quoted in local advertising, additional studies were still being conducted in accordance with Section 506 of the Penal Code for legal risk.

The official operating the scanning device reported to the police at 1.30pm about a bundle being addressed to someone in Limbang, Sarawak, according to the district chief.

Mr. Azman claimed that the scanned bundle was mistaken for a laptop, a battery, and some wires, and that a police officer discovered a note claiming the package had a bomb after the officer had checked it.

A crew was dispatched to the spot upon receiving the document, and the K- 9 product was even dispatched, he added.

” The officers immediately conducted an investigation. Detection using puppies from the K- 9 system found it bad for bombs”, said Mr Azman, cited in the Malay Mail.

The Bomb Disposal Product was called in, the deal was destroyed using a mechanical device, and there was no explosion, despite the standard operating procedure.

The government contacted the recipient of the deal, who is in Kuala Lumpur, and he confirmed its components. &nbsp,

According to the police, the receiver is the subject of an investigation under Section 506 of the Penal Code for legal challenges. &nbsp,

After the airline’s Terminal 1 became the site of a shooting on April 14 that left one person injured, police just doubled the workers size and increased inspections at KLIA.
