Kim losing sleep over his people
 FOR a man who rarely appears in public, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is pressed for time. Mr Kim's emotions got the better of him during a recent meeting with factory managers and those who run small businesses when he said the demands of running the state had left him little time to sleep, a Japanese website that monitors North Korean news reported yesterday. 'I wish one second could be one hour so that I can work more for the nation and the people,' he said, according to Uriminzokkiri.com, which cited the Rodong Sinmun communist daily. He also told the group he would be able to take a good rest when his people live well. The 22.5 million North Koreans in the impoverished state rely on global charity.Posted by: Dan Darling 2005-03-10 |
