PUTRAJAYA – Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said he will get a full report on the actions of two Russians who allegedly trespassed into the Merdeka 118 tower in Kuala Lumpur recently, before providing any information on the matter.

“It is premature for me to give any answer...give me some space to get a full report,” he said in a press conference after chairing a special joint committee meeting by the home and human resources ministers on the management of foreign workers here today.

Photos and videos of the two individuals from the top of the skyscraper have gone viral on social media.

The Russian woman involved, Angela Nikolau, was also said to have revealed how she trespassed into the tower on social media.

The media reported today that police would seek information on the entry and exit records of the couple from the Immigration Department. – Bernama, January 5, 2023
