Transcript of Second Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman’s Oral Reply to Parliamentary Question on Singaporeans in Afghanistan, 14 September 2021

14 September 2021

QUESTIONS

Mr Leon Perera: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether there are any Singaporeans known to be residing in Afghanistan following the recent takeover by the Taliban and, if so, what arrangements are made to support them or help them return to Singapore if they so choose.

Dr Mohamed Maliki: Mr Speaker, there are currently no Singaporeans registered with MFA who are in Afghanistan. As MFA has no diplomatic representation in Afghanistan, there are limitations to our ability to provide urgent consular assistance to Singaporeans in the country. This was why we had earlier strongly advised Singaporeans against travelling to or remaining in Afghanistan. Any Singaporeans who are still in Afghanistan should e-register with MFA immediately if they have not done so.
