Assalamualaikum Wr Wb,
Dear Community and Visitors,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the official website of The Singaporean Student’s Welfare Assembly in Egypt (PERKEMAS). Our website represents our efforts in widening our reach to prospective students and the community at large.
As the President of this esteemed organisation, I am humbled and grateful to Allah SWT for granting us the opportunity to carry the amanah of seeking knowledge in Al-Azhar, the fulcrum of Islamic scholarship. I am also pleased to be part of the Singaporean community here in Egypt.
Since its inception in 1969, PERKEMAS has been committed to the welfare of the Singaporean students in Egypt in various aspects. This includes providing assistance with their university admissions and equipping them with the relevant skills and expertise to address the formidable challenges in the constantly changing landscape of dakwah in Singapore.
As an organisation that upholds the values of Belajar, Bersatu, Berbakti (Inquisitiveness, Unity, Service), PERKEMAS plays a pivotal role in fostering unity among students and serving as a platform for them to chart their intellectual journey. At its core is the powerful sense of service, which is reflected in our commitment to benefitting the community.
Over the years, we have achieved remarkable milestones while staying rooted in our Islamic tradition. We have always prided ourselves on being grounded in Al-Manhaj Al-Azhariy. However, we do not strive to be grounded for its own sake, but to make a meaningful impact. I always believe that our students have an edge over others, as they are well equipped with both traditional and contemporary facets of the study of religion.
As we look forward to welcoming prospective students, I would like to reiterate PERKEMAS’ unwavering dedication to serving the welfare of our members. May Allah SWT guide us towards that which pleases Him and that we remain a source of blessings for this world and the hereafter.
Sincerely,
Reza Idani Bin Zainal Abidin
President
PERKEMAS 2023/2024
