"We have no reason why we want to do something to paint North Korea in a bad light, but we will be objective," Najib told reporters in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital.


Kim Jong Nam died last Monday soon after the attack in the departure hall of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, where he had been preparing to take a flight to Macau. 


Najib added that he expected North Korea to understand that Malaysia had to apply the rule of law in the case.
