A group of Malaysians who formerly studied in Japan have donated hundreds of items of nonwoven protective clothing for Japanese hospital staff to use amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Kizuna Project donation drive is being coordinated by Nurhaizal Azam, a 47-year-old associate professor at Hiroshima City University who used to study at Toyama University.
"A lot of people took care of me (when I was a student)," he said. "Now I want to encourage Japanese medical workers having a hard time with the coronavirus."
