Issue of 60 Pahang students 'stranded' in Egypt resolved, says PM


CAIRO: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the issue involving 60 students from Pahang who were unable to continue their studies at Al-Azhar University has been successfully resolved after discussions with Sheikh of Al-Azhar Prof Dr Ahmed el-Tayeb.

Anwar, who paid a courtesy call to Ahmed at Al-Azhar, said the problem occurred because the 60 students arrived to study at the university without following the required procedures, which led to them becoming 'stranded' in Egypt.
