Response to parliamentary question on the status of Haj arrangements for Singapore pilgrims.

*1853. Dr Wan Rizal: To ask the Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs in light of the volatile security situation and travel disruptions in the Middle East (a) what is the current status of this year’s Haj arrangements for Singapore pilgrims; and (b) what contingency plans are in place to safeguard pilgrims and support them should the situation deteriorate further.

Response:

  1. To date, preparations for Haj 2026 are proceeding as planned. The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) remains in close contact with Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU) on the arrangements, and will continue to monitor the latest developments in the Middle East.

  2. MUIS is working closely with the Association of Muslim Travel Agents Singapore (AMTAS) and the appointed Haj travel agents and service providers, to support our pilgrims for a safe Haj journey. These include using direct flights to and from Saudi Arabia, choosing ground transport options less susceptible to disruption, and closer coordination of pilgrim movements in Madinah, Makkah and Jeddah. MUIS is also developing contingency plans with AMTAS and Haj travel agents, to plan for potential travel disruptions and unforeseen incidents during the pilgrimage.

  3. Above all, the safety and welfare of our pilgrims remain our utmost priority. MUIS will continue to keep all pilgrims and the wider community informed of the latest Haj arrangements.
