Their Excellencies will also meet with Deputy King His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Shah and Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Anwar Ibrahim. Other elements of the programme include a wreath laying at the Cheras Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery; a reception for New Zealand alumni; breakfast with Malaysian women leaders; a visit to the KYS Business School in Melaka; a Peranakan heritage dinner; and a visit to the Gombak Jungle School.
