Embassy to help in probe
<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has contacted the Embassy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) following a traffic incident involving one of the embassy's cars on Thursday. 'The DPRK Ambassador has assured us that the embassy respected Singapore's laws and would extend its full cooperation with the authorities in resolving the issue,' said a spokesman for MFA.
In the early hours of Thursday morning, a car bearing diplomatic plates and the North Korean flag hit a parked car along Geylang Lorong 21. The silver Toyota multi-purpose vehicle from the embassy subsequently reversed and drove off. There was only a driver in the car. It is understood that Mr Paek Yong Jin, third secretary of the North Korean embassy, is assisting the police with statements.
Police said that investigations are still ongoing and no one has been arrested. The car that was hit, a black Nissan Cefiro, belonged to 49-year-old Toh Lai Heng, who had parked it along the right lane of the narrow road to use the restroom at a nearby 24-hour coffee shop.
