S'poreans urged to postpone non-essential travel to the Middle East amid escalating tensions
Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim said that all Singaporean haj pilgrims that performed their pilgrimage in 2025 have returned to Singapore safely.

ST PHOTO: ARIFFIN JAMAR SINGAPORE – Singaporeans planning non-essential trips to areas affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East are urged to postpone their trips and adhere to travel advisories by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs . This is because the authorities are concerned over the escalating tensions in the region, said Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim. Speaking to the media at Changi Airport on June 25, Associate Professor Faishal noted that 43 haj pilgrims who were supposed to return to Singapore on a June 23 Scoot flight from Jeddah were affected when the flight was cancelled. An alternative flight via Malaysia Airlines was subsequently arranged, and the pilgrims safely landed back in Singapore on June 25, he said. Scoot had earlier cited operational and safety considerations for cancelling some flights to and from Jeddah, amid military strikes between Israel and Iran. Prof Faishal, who was at the airport to welcome home the final batch of haj pilgrims, said there were also some Singaporeans studying in the Middle East who were stranded after having booked flights home. They included students from Islamic universities in Jordan and Egypt, such as Al-Azhar University. The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore has contacted the students, and they are currently on their journey back to Singapore, he added. Prof Faishal said that all Singaporean haj pilgrims who performed their pilgrimage in 2025 have returned to Singapore safely. The haj pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam and takes place over five or six days. In 2025, Singapore and Saudi Arabia struck a deal to allow 900 slots for Singaporeans to perform the haj pilgrimage.

ST PHOTO: ARIFFIN JAMAR At the airport, Prof Faishal congratulated the Saudi Arabian government for its 'tremendous effort' in organising a successful haj for 1.67 million pilgrims around the world. He also noted that there were about 890 outpatient visits in 2025 to the Singapore Pilgrims' Affairs Office (Spao) in Shisha and Madinah. Spao introduced a hybrid model for medical services in 2024, working closely with a Saudi-based medical service provider and appointing medical professionals to be attached to respective haj travel agents for the medical needs of pilgrims. Prof Faishal said: 'Spao's hybrid model worked well with medical teams from both Singapore and Saudi, and we were able to provide medical attention and quality care to our pilgrims.' Prof Faishal, who took over the Muslim Affairs portfolio from Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli in May, said he has received encouraging feedback from pilgrims and their family members that bus services and facilities in Arafah and Mina, two significant locations in Makkah, have improved. He urged returning pilgrims to continue monitoring their health and to seek medical attention if they feel unwell. Join ST's WhatsApp Channel and get the latest news and must-reads.

The man who painted Lee Kuan Yew – and the wife whom history forgot
[SINGAPORE] Most art lovers recognise the name Chua Mia Tee. The realist painter is beloved for his portraits of founding fathers and working-class heroes – archetypes of the nation-building generation rendered in oil on canvas. Chua's work has come to define an era of Singapore's visual identity, with scenes of Lee Kuan Yew on the campaign trail, Singapore presidents surrounded by the Cabinet of the day, and young idealists reading poetry as progress unfolds around them. But few people know that, for much of his career, Chua – who was awarded the Cultural Medallion in 2015 – worked just a few metres away from another painter: his wife, Lee Boon Ngan (1939-2017). She was a talented artist in her own right, a realist who brought delicate floral compositions to life on canvas. Yet, she remained largely unrecognised – overshadowed by her husband's fame, and held back by the demands of domestic life. While Chua painted full-time, she raised their children, cooked their meals and managed the household. Only after the chores were done would she pick up her brushes. Chua Mia Tee's Singapore Presidents And Their Cabinets (I-V) (1996) is a stunning 3.8 m-long painting depicting the five presidents from Yusof Ishak to Ong Teng Cheong, with the respective Cabinets of the day. PHOTO: PRESIDENT'S OFFICE, ISTANA The couple's daughter, Dr Chua Yang, an obstetrician and gynaecologist behind a new exhibition to honour both her parents, says: 'She considered herself a wife and mother first, and an artist when she had time.' The exhibition, The Art of Lee Boon Ngan: Celebrating 60 Years Of Singapore Through The Love Of Chua Mia Tee & Lee Boon Ngan, opens on Jul 10 at The Private Museum in Upper Wilkie Road. Presented as part of the museum's 15th anniversary and SG60 celebrations, the show brings together nearly 50 artworks. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up They comprise 15 floral paintings by Lee – some never before seen publicly – alongside a selection of Chua's better-known works, as well as contributions from the next generation of the family. Lee Boon Ngan's vivid floral paintings showcase her impressive precision and technique. PHOTO: CHUA MIA TEE & THE CHUA FAMILY The show includes two paintings by Lee's granddaughter, London-based artist Ernestine Chua, and three artistic photographs by Dr Chua, including one of her father on the day he completed his final painting in 2021, just before he suffered a stroke. Painting beside the nation's painter Dr Chua says: 'Mother was never as prolific as Father. But she painted throughout her life. She would wait for the right light, position her flowers near the window, and choose the most complicated bouquets – with the tiniest petals and most intricate leaves. It was a challenge she relished.' Lee Boon Ngan and Chua Mia Tee, a lasting union and legacy. PHOTO: CHUA MIA TEE & THE CHUA FAMILY In their shared home studio, husband and wife worked mostly in silence. 'There was no chatter. They didn't comment on each other's work until the very end. When a piece was nearly done, it would be brought into the family gallery at home and placed under a spotlight for critique. That's when everyone – including us kids – would weigh in.' (Dr Chua has a brother who is a retired dean of a tertiary institution in Hong Kong.) Despite his deft executions of landscapes, people and animals, Chua Mia Tee never painted flowers. 'That was Mother's territory,' Dr Chua recalls. 'He always said: 'Your mother is far better at that'.' Artist Chua Mia Tee putting the finishing touches to a self-portrait, in which he poses with the iconic 1957 painting of his wife, Lee Boon Ngan, as a young girl. PHOTO: DR CHUA YANG And yet, history remembers him and forgets her. Part of that, Dr Chua believes, was structural. Her father received government commissions and exhibited widely. His work was aligned with national narratives and institutional platforms. Her mother, on the other hand, painted privately, for herself and her family, without ambition for public acclaim. Part of it was also choice. 'Mother never sought recognition,' Dr Chua says. 'When collectors came for Father's works and chose hers instead, she was quietly amused… She was content with her life.' A 1980 portrait of Lee Boon Ngan by Chua Mia Tee, simply titled My Wife, depicts her at work, surrounded by her floral paintings. PHOTO: CHUA MIA TEE & THE CHUA FAMILY That didn't mean her daughter wasn't frustrated. 'For years after her death, I was indignant,' she admits. 'She was always in the shadow. I felt she deserved so much more. But I've come to realise that these were my expectations, not hers. She was proud of every meal she cooked for us. She was happy.' In recent years, Dr Chua has taken on the responsibility of preserving both her parents' legacies. In 2024, she launched her second book, Women Inspiring Women: The National Edition, at The Private Museum. As conversations turned toward her parents' art, the idea for an exhibition took root. Chua Mia Tee often included Lee Boon Ngan in his paintings, such as this work titled Stone Boat Of Summer Palace, Beijing (1985). PHOTO: CHUA MIA TEE & THE CHUA FAMILY A story told in two styles The result is a contemplative and moving exhibition that places Chua's grand portraits of statesmen and civic scenes alongside Lee's luminous florals. Each speaks to a different kind of devotion – one directed outward to nation-building, the other, inward toward the beauty of everyday life. 'In many ways, she was painting her self-portrait,' Dr Chua says. 'The brilliance of the flowers symbolised the vibrancy of her spirit. When Father painted her, he was capturing her beauty. When she painted flowers, she was capturing herself.' Lee Boon Ngan's tender paintings of flowers celebrate the overlooked and the everyday – in contrast to her husband's paintings of nation-building efforts. PHOTO: CHUA MIA TEE & THE CHUA FAMILY The exhibition also includes family portraits of children and grandchildren, and intimate glimpses into the couple's home and studio. Many works were drawn from the family estate, and others, on loan from institutions such as the Istana and the National Heritage Board. Though many visitors may come for Chua's portraits of Singapore leaders, they may leave with a deeper appreciation for the domestic, the feminine, and the quieter forms of artistic expression. In a society that often prioritises progress over presence, public achievement over personal duties, Lee's work asks the viewer to rethink these binaries. Nation and home, public and private, leaders and lovers, husbands and wives – they're all part of the same story. Dr Chua Yang, with a portrait of her parents painted by her father, Chua Mia Tee.

Singapore travellers told to expect delays, even as Iran-Israel truce brings reprieve to airlines, Singapore News
SINGAPORE — Singaporeans travelling to the Middle East and Europe over the coming days should be prepared for delays and disruptions, despite a fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel offering a reprieve to airlines roiled by the fighting in the region. Late on June 23, operations at two of the world's busiest airports in Doha and Dubai were thrown into chaos as several Middle Eastern countries temporarily closed their airspace, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded, including a number of Singaporeans. But even as airlines resume regular operations, those in the industry said the re-routing of aircraft to avoid the conflict zone will lengthen flight times, especially between Asia and Europe. "Airlines are already running late for many of the re-routed flights", said Associate Professor Lin Weiqiang, who studies transport issues at the National University of Singapore's geography department. "We can foresee more flight delays and perhaps schedule changes, if the usual corridors are not reopened soon," he added. Travel management company FCM Travel Asia has also informed business travellers to anticipate travel delays. Its managing director Bertrand Saillet said this is because carriers are likely to revisit their flight paths and schedules. Lufthansa Group said none of its flights to Singapore or the Asia-Pacific have been cancelled due to the conflict. But these flights may take up to an hour longer because of the need to skirt Lebanese, Jordanian, Iraqi, Israeli and Iranian airspace — a key artery for Asia-Europe air traffic before the Iran-Israel conflict erupted. The airline group said it is also refraining from flying over the northern parts of Saudi Arabia, as well as Bahrain, Qatar and parts of the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf. Flight tracking data shows that Lufthansa's flights between Singapore and Frankfurt, for instance, have been flying north of Iran, travelling through Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan airspace instead. This is the same "northern" flight path that some carriers like Singapore Airlines (SIA) have been using to fly to and from Europe. NUS' Prof Lin said he expects airlines to continue re-routing flights via Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan over the next few days, and possibly weeks. This may add to the congestion there. "As it is, Afghan airspace is already capacity controlled and is subject to air traffic flow management since 2007," he noted. Even before the airspace closures on June 23, which were triggered by Iran's missile strike on a US military base in Doha, SIA and its budget arm Scoot had already cancelled flights to the Middle East. After a security assessment, SIA cancelled all of its Singapore-Dubai flights from June 22 to June 25. Meanwhile, Scoot cancelled its Singapore-Jeddah services on June 23 and June 26, citing operational considerations. In contrast, Middle Eastern carriers like Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways continued to fly to Singapore during this period. Asked why this was the case, Prof Lin said the airlines have different operational considerations, and it is likely that SIA Group was unwilling to risk its assets becoming collateral damage or getting stuck in the Middle East. Qatar Airways said on June 24 that it has deployed additional ground staff at Hamad International Airport, its home base, as well as other key airports to help affected travellers and minimise disruptions. According to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, around 250 flights were cancelled at Hamad airport, with another 238 delayed, after Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait temporarily shut their airspace on June 23. Airports across Dubai in the United Arab Emirates also briefly halted operations. Dubai-based Emirates said there were some cancellations and a few flights had longer routes due to airspace congestion, but its passengers experienced minimal disruptions as regularly scheduled flights resumed within a few hours. The carrier confirmed that none of its Singapore-Dubai flights were re-routed. "The airline would never fly if it was not safe to do so. Emirates continuously monitors developments, coordinates with aviation authorities and assesses every potential risk," it added on June 24. A day earlier, the airline had said in an update that it will continue to operate flights as scheduled, using flight paths "well distanced" from conflict areas. Other carriers like Air France have also begun to resume flights to the Middle East. The French carrier told ST that it plans to resume services from Paris to Dubai and Riyadh starting June 25, and restart flights between Paris and Beirut in Lebanon from June 26. The airline said it is closely monitoring the situation in the Near and Middle East in real-time. "Air France reiterates that the safety of its customers and crew is its absolute imperative," it added. For Australian flag carrier Qantas, which had two flights from Perth to Europe diverted as a result of the airspace closures in the Middle East, normal operations have also resumed. Its Europe-bound flights on June 24 departed Singapore and Perth without a hitch. Qantas has been re-routing its European flights to avoid conflict zones in the Middle East for weeks now, but some, like the two diverted flights, have been taking a "southern" route over Oman, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The airline said on June 24 that it continues to monitor airspace availability closely, and it will alter its schedule as required. NUS' Prof Lin said he believes it is safe for travellers to fly to where airlines are allowed to operate. What is more likely in the next few days is sudden disruptions and airspace closures, given the volatility of the situation. "Travellers should strive to leave enough time for connections in case of any delays or misallocation of equipment," he said. Those who wish to further minimise risks when flying to Europe could also opt for airlines that maintain a wider berth from the conflict area, he added, pointing to Cathay Pacific, which flies to Europe via Xinjiang and Central Asia, as an example.
