Kim Jong-nam - Turmoil In North Korea?

Yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confirmed the identity of the North Korean man assassinated at KLIA2 last month as Kim Jong-nam, based on his son’s DNA samples.

South Korea's spy agency is convinced that the assassination was an act of systematic terror ordered by Kim Jong-un. North Korea, however, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoings.

Today on Current Affairs, BFM explores the relationship between Kim Jong-nam and the Kim Dynasty, and plausible reasons behind the assassination.

This is a report by Emir Zainul and Wan Irdina.
