Oldest son of Kim Jong Il reappeared in Singapore
The oldest son of Kim Jong Il, the late leader of North Korea, has reappeared in Singapore nearly one year after fleeing his home in Macau.
Mr Kim Jong Nam, 41, had been living a life of luxury in the former Portuguese enclave, but disappeared in January after celebrating the arrival of the New Year with his family, according to the Daily Telegraph.
South Korean sources told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper that Mr Kim Jong Nam fled Macau in fear of his life after his younger half-brother, Kim Jong Un, took over as head of North Korea. The father of the two men, Kim Jong Il, died in December last year.
