JOHOR BARU: Malaysian graduates should foster close ties with their peers from foreign countries, especially those from countries embroiled in conflicts or suffering from disasters, says Johor Permaisuri Raja Zarith Sofiah Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah.

Her Majesty, who is Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) chancellor, said this would allow students to better understand the plight of their foreign friends.
