2nd Sem : Day 3

Today no lecture , no lab , no tutorial. Boring. . . entered MAT 098 ( 8.30 a.m) lecture that just briefed us about the syllabus for this sem.Lecture ended at 9.00 a.m . Free for the rest of the day.So my friends & I decided to go to the reading room at PSB. We read some newspaper and there was this North Korea's artillery attacks (Tuesday) on a South Korean island and the return of fire by South Korea. South Korea was conducting military drills in the area at the time but said it had not been firing at the North, which recently revealed a major new aspect to its nuclear programme.Two South Korean soldiers were dead and several people injured.South Korea warned North Korea of "enormous retaliation" if it took more aggressive steps after Pyongyang fired scores of artillery shells at a South Korean island in one of the heaviest attacks on its neighbour since the Korean War ended in 1953.While U.S. President Barack Obama said he would tell China, the only country close to an ally to the reclusive North, that it must tell Pyongyang that "there are a set of international rules they must abide by."

Meanwhile , Malaysia has expressed concern over the heightened tension in the Korean peninsula, following North Korea's artillery attacks Tuesday on a South Korean island and the return of fire by South Korea.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said Malaysia condemned the incident on Yeonpyeong Island which left two South Korean soldiers dead and several people injured.

"Malaysia calls on all quarters to avoid resorting to action which can escalate the tension and generate instability in this region," he said in a statement Wednesday.

Anifah said Malaysia hoped that all quarters would strive to maintain peace and stability in the Korean peninsula and concentrate efforts on measures to build trust and confidence. - Bernama
