North Korea Enlisted This Lawyer For The Assassination Of Kim Jong Un’s Half Brother (HBO)

- Malaysian lawyer Jagjit Singh has no qualms about working for the North Korean government. After Kim Jong Un’s half-brother was assassinated in broad daylight in Malaysia last year, the North Korean embassy enlisted Singh’s help.
Speaking to VICE News in a rare interview, Singh explains that he is just doing his job: “I don't see why I can't provide them the best possible defense I can provide. They're entitled to it.”
Kim Jong Nam died shortly after his face was smeared with a nerve agent known as VX in the middle of the busy Kuala Lumpur International Airport. When the police detained a North Korean national for questioning, the North Korean embassy called Singh.
The man was eventually released, and with all other suspects having fled the country, there are no North Koreans on trial for Kim Jong Nam’s death.
Instead, two women, Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese citizen Doan Thi Huong, are facing trial for the murder.
Their defense lawyers argue that their clients are scapegoats for a political assassination, claiming that they were groomed by North Korean operatives to perform what they thought was a prank for a TV show.
Gooi Soon Seng, Aisyah’s defense attorney, went as far to say that the murder amounted to a “declaration of war” since it used chemical weapons, and that the government wasn’t addressing the true seriousness of the crime.
“The issue is that chemical warfare has been used in your country to attack somebody and that is the larger issue which they should be more interested to find out,” Gooi told VICE News.
The fate of the two women will be potentially be decided on August 10, when a judge will announce whether the defense will be called, or whether the women will walk free.

It's just a prank bro
😐
You can see the glee in his face that he's got a whole lot of business ahead of him after successfully helping the North Koreans legally get away with it.
You know that lawyers tend to work for bad people? It's their job.
If he doesnt another will. No point getting emotional
he's probably getting paid a shit ton already.
+@@augy7104 "Brainwashed against North Koreans" - yeah, right.
Then ain't it misfortune of the North Korean regime that both of its allies - the Russians and the Chinese, are lazy enough to not bother combating that "brainwashing"? In spite of their place in the international-affairs. Also, which "NATO power" pressured Botswana of all places to terminate diplomatic-ties with North Korea not so long after establishing them? And what was the gain from that? Whatever you say, I'll believe you. Since if Uncle Sam can pressure a country filled with inherently racist and ignorant Caucasians (obviously a so-called "First World") to replicate its sanctions against Chinese electronic behemoths, "everybody" can easily pressure Botswana.
+@@augy7104 Let's consider the latest revision of your comment as your original-response: Uber practically, yes. But then there's something called "circumstantial evidence", which is way stronger than "common sense reasoning".
Kim was probably jealous of his half brothers superior good looks.

People are shocked that a lawyer is doing his job. His job isn't to defend someone on merit, he's to defend his client because the client is paying them.
I thought the Sikh was Anupam Kher in that Manmohan Singh movie.
Thats SO FUCKING TRUE!!
Yea that is the comment i was searching
Me too.
@@ZeroPlusMusicB you high?
SAME OMH
give Singh that woman case also... he will get that women also out of Malaysia wearing same LOL t-shirt
Nice comment bro..instant lol
Being a lawyer, it's a really dirty and evil business
“North Korean authorities aren’t cooperating with us”
WHAT AUTHORITIES!?!?
Yunarukmi Online The North Korean Government.....
@@outrageousgamer315 north Korea has a government? I assure you, there is a phenomenon going on in the northern part of Korea but you can hardly call it a government...
@Mike 72 Apart from your statement being a contradiction in itself (dictatorship is a form of government unless those capital letters indicate an alternate meaning of those words), the western hemisphere is still more democratic than the rest of the world combined.
Fatty jong un
To be fair, North Korea has a high population density and some of the harshest sanctions put on a country by the UN and they still have a feared military and a stronger economy than most African countries. That’s what scares me the most. North Korea has one of the highest average IQs in the world and yet they have no way to overthrow the corruption.
They thought it was that Gangnam Style guy
Hahahah😂😂😂😂
Both Lawyer and interviewer are talking in english. But why subtitle only for the lawyer..vice??
That's because Indians are from Mars :)
I guess its because some people have trouble understanding accented english
Omgawwwwwdddd raycisms!
You have earned virtue 1 point. Well spotted!
Adzie also pretty ironic that vice is super liberal now
that’s official statement from a lawyer that involves relationships of two counties towards the law and order. Msia and Korea.

THE SIKH LAWYER APPEARS BRILLIANT TO ME
Ahhhh if u ignore ethics and morality .... y not .... in my opnion kasab was briliant too
Indeed
"i don't go under the table" haha sure buddy
Why sure buddy? Its part of the sikh faith to never steal, lie, fight injustice, and accept humanity as one big race. Look up our history. As a sikh my parents and grandparents taught me to never live a false life
if they went under the table he would just get investigated and get jailed with all those eyes on him

@P R Genocide? When (if your answer is 1984, well then, Hindus died in Punjab too in 1984)
This was a brilliant business move by this guy. He's got so much more business because of this, no press is bad press. Vice trying to make this guy out to be a villain for doing his job is hilarious. He's a lawyer he's being paid a ton of money to be a lawyer, barley a news story here guys.
Oh
The interviewer is jaw dropping beautiful
3:22 least convincing combover ever.
STFU 😂😂😂😂😂😂
All of you guys criticising the lawyer are just dumb.
My friend is studying to become a lawyer. It is the duty of lawyer to protect its client, it is not their duty to speak the truth. Yes, you might say its very unethical but this is how it is. This what they will teach you Law Colleges. Lawyer's duty is to get money out of client's pocket. I also asked him that if I commit some henious crime should I lie to my lawyer or tell him truth. He said never to lie with the lawyer, he will only help even if you have raped or killed or any other crime no matter how bad it is.
So you are saying lawyers are basically scumbags with no moral.
LOL, I loved watching K D Pathak on adaalat.
@@howo357 They have a role: to defend or prosecute, they promote the evidence that their client is innocent and that is their job. They can't convict their client even if they know they're guilty
@@vekaf4305 I totally get public defenders cause everyone should have right to defend in court. However those who take millions to skew the fact or lack of it are the scumbag bags.
How God separate people during judgement.
God: before we continue with other sins, all lawyers please line-up to the gate of hell followed by those who accept bribe tq.
**Kills Kim Jong-Un's half brother**
"relax! it's just a prank, bro!"
Singh is King...
North Korea: lets find the most polarizing lawyer in this country
Question :-Are you lying?
Lawyer :-I save my client
That's a sikh move
When someone brings up the fact that they don't do under the table dealings is just like when someone says "believe me" you know they are full of shit.
I can’t disrespect the guy, he’s hustling and doing his best.
Vice: "So what's the best outcome for you, out of this whole case?"
Singh: " That we STFU and no one else dies".
Why would a lawyer ever say ye my client did it even after the fact?
They wouldn't. It is absolutely impermissible to do so.
1:01 The dude beside him was like yo didn't know ur employed by the NK
August 10? I read the story, but doesn't this mean the video is more than a month overdue?
Even though the Indonesian government opposes Siti Aisyah’s arrest to the point that their embassy hired a lawyer to defend her, Malaysian prosecutors are still pressing the case against her without fear. That in itself tells you everything you need to know about just how much more fucked up it is to deal with North Korea’s government.
I have never been able to fathom how self-proclaimed religious men could become lawyers, whose profession itself demands that they try to construct a narrative that suits their case, even if it requires deliberate omission or distortion of facts. Someone who claims to be guided by religious morals - whatever religion - could never have done so.

That's it.
Exactly
Vollystri MKII I don’t think him being a Sikh has anything to do with this. Also, being innocent until proven guilty is a pedestal upon which justice is built. If they were guilty, they would have been persecuted as such. At the end of the day, he’s doing his job, and yes its for money.
@@Yebisu1 money is money
@@Yebisu1 you really dont know how legal procedures work do you? Even the biggest terrorists get lawyers not because of money but to have a fair competition. So that no one's wrongfully convicted.

i saw more of Big B instead
Has this already been on? I remember something very similar
I've Never herd of that before , pranking people with a nerve gas agent .this is an insult to our intelligence .
"Do u think North korea has any involvement in this case?"
Lawyer : No, not at all....
Lol 02:25
Everything you know cannot be true
Lawyers have to justify their job in their mind, especially one that goes to temple.
If people want to claim a lawyer's job is to defend his client no matter what, then fine. But don't start doing TV interviews blaming the guy who got murdered for "living a dangerous life." Just shut your mouth and go get the next guy off for murder.
Vice Report beautiful af
Why they have sub titles for what?
that lawyer should wear "LOL" shirt during interview.
You can’t just ask a lawyer that’s fighting a case whether they are guilty or not. Especially when you are a lawyer for N.Korea
incredible lawyer - proud of how far sikhs have come around the world. imagine a sikh malayasian highly esteemed lawyer fighting for the north korean government in malaysia
you people even associate dead bodies with their religion.....rightism far fetched.....
I wouldn't be so proud of that tbh
What's that to be proud of? He's trying to get two probably innocent women lifetime imprisonment.
His body language at 1:05 , when he said I don’t do anything under the table. Definitely he is proud of his principles.
The lawyer rep. North Korea. Oh my, his smiles says it all.
when you have to say to your clients, i dont go under the table, it usually means you actually do lmao
Defense lawyers are important especially in the US because prosecutors are the ones that have the government’s power behind them
thats a real good lawyer right their haha, dodged every question without dodging the question.
If it's a TV show then where are all the production cameras? Only CCTV.
2:00 i think 1 more star CAN be squeezed in there
Woo hooo ! I love your observation Lalit. May you flourish, Sir.
Client was singhing all the way home👍
What's up with the subtitles for everyone but the interviewer?
The big question is who will show subtitles to the judge in the courtroom.
What the Sikh lawyer says is true... I tend to agree more on his statement...
Pretty racist to put subtitles for the man but not for the interviewer. His english is almost same as her and understandable.
True, but I have a hearing disability so I appreciated it
To be honest, Malaysian/Singaporean accent are a bit hard for westerners to understand.
Also, the Sikh lawyer speaks too damn fast.
Exactly, i dont get it why you need to put subtitle when the Malaysians speak english clearly
The english is oke but some people still struggle to listen it. But iam agree to put subtile for the interview
Jassy Rahal not sure about you but i can barely understand him
the worst thing about the medias coverage of his assasination is that they said nothing about his critisism of his father kim jong il and only said he went to disney land in tokyo and north korea got mad that he liked western things even though kim jong il had western luxery cars, expensive french and italian wines and smoked cuban cigars
A very good and uncommon report by Vice News. I heard about this lawyer (Singh) but didn't North Korea hired him to defend those suspected of Kim Jong-Nam's murder conspiracy. This shows unity and continuity among the Asian continent's countries.
That Lawyer can try selling his story when he comes before God on judgment day.
1:21 joke of the century
I m speechless
After watching this video, I’m so confused what just happened
Looks like a perfect movie setting where Anupam Kher can play the Sikh lawyer!

The irony of that lady wearing a shirt saying "LOL" is outta this world.
so notice how he hopes the two ladies are acquitted and not convicted while also claiming that the north Koreas are not involved. sounds a little contradictory.
A LAWYER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO UPHOLD JUSTICE... HE IS ONLY ABLE TO INTERPRET IT IN THE INTEREST OF HIS CLIENT.

Also, as a journalist that I am, I know how News Works And know very well that the great things Done here as well as the ones Done in Malasya, won't be shared because our countrys need to "think about what they have done".
