Updates on Singaporean students in the Middle East

2 March 2026

MUIS is prioritising the safety and well-being of Singaporean students in the region.

  1. The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East and assures our community that the safety and well-being of Singaporean students remain our priority, with every effort made to support and care for them. 

  2. Our Student Liaison Officers in Cairo, Egypt and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia are working with Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)’s overseas missions and maintaining regular contact with Singaporean students in Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. They have been offering support and guidance during these uncertain times.

  3. Parents and/or guardians of students in these countries can contact MUIS at 6359 1199 or info@muis.gov.sg (opens in new tab) should they have further queries.

  4. Let us continue to pray for the safety of our students and fellow Singaporeans, and for peace to return to the Middle East and all troubled regions of the world.
