Kim Jong-Un leaves terrapin farmers shell-shocked

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un left managers shell-shocked during an angry visit to a terrapin farm. The country’s Supreme Leader is regularly pictured doling out “expert” advice during “field guidance” trips to farms and factories. But in a rare departure from his usual smiles, a large photo on the front page of state newspaper Rodong Sinmun shows a clearly irate Kim wagging a finger at officials in a building housing terrapin-breeding tanks.

The employees who failed to bear deep in their minds (Kim Jong-Il’s) leadership exploits could hardly perform their role as masters in production.

A furious was Kim Jong-Un was quoted as saying

Mr Kim “strongly criticised the shortcoming of its officials as a manifestation of incompetence, outmoded way of thinking and irresponsible work style,” the North’s official KCNA news agency said. He took particular umbrage at the fact the failings were at a farm set up by his late father Kim Jong-Il to “provide the people with tasty and nutritious terrapin widely known as a precious tonic from olden times”. If all officials were as incompetent as those at Taedonggang Terrapin Farm, then North Korea would never achieve his father’s visionary goals, he added. Terrapin - usually served as a soup - is an expensive delicacy on menus in North Korea. The farm was also meant to breed freshwater lobsters, but failed because of its managers’ “irresponsible work style,” KCNA said.
