Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
Dear Visitors and Community,
Welcome to the official website of The Singaporean Student’s Welfare Assembly in Egypt (PERKEMAS), where we share our ongoing efforts in serving the Singaporean student community in Egypt while extending our reach to prospective students, parents, alumni, and the wider community.
PERKEMAS is an organisation dedicated to safeguarding the welfare of Singaporean students in Egypt since its establishment in 1969. For more than five decades, we have remained committed to ensuring that every student receives the necessary support throughout their educational journey. Our responsibilities include assisting prospective students with their admission to Al-Azhar Asy-Sharif University, facilitating their transition into student life in Egypt, and providing welfare and financial assistance whenever the need arises.
In line with our vision and mission, PERKEMAS also serves as a platform for students to grow beyond the books. Through our various committees, programmes, and initiatives, students are given opportunities to develop leadership qualities, strengthen their interpersonal skills, and engage with contemporary issues affecting both the Muslim community and society at large. These experiences complement their academic pursuits and prepare them to become individuals who contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Alhamdulillah, throughout the years, Al-Azhar has nurtured generations of Singaporean graduates who have gone on to serve as respected asatizah, educators, community leaders, and professionals. We pray that this legacy continues, producing graduates who embody knowledge, wisdom, sincerity, and service.
We are truly blessed to have been granted the opportunity to pursue knowledge in Egypt—a land renowned throughout Islamic history as Ka’batul ‘Ilm and Ard al-Anbiya’. For centuries, Egypt has been a beacon of Islamic scholarship, attracting students from every corner of the world who seek beneficial knowledge under the guidance of distinguished scholars. Studying here is not merely an academic pursuit, but a journey of personal growth, spiritual refinement, and lifelong brotherhood.
Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all our committee members, volunteers, alumni, and partners whose unwavering dedication and contributions have enabled PERKEMAS to continue serving the Singaporean student community for generations. May Allah reward each and every one of you abundantly for your efforts.
May Allah SWT bless our pursuit of knowledge, grant us sincerity in every deed, protect all our students throughout their journey in Egypt, and allow the knowledge we acquire to benefit ourselves, our families, our community back in Singapore.
Sincerely,
Muhammad Syafi Bin Yazid
President
PERKEMAS 2025/2026
