The Johor government deployed five security guards to protect a temporary student residence in Cairo after thieves broke into the building during early morning hours. The incident occurred between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. in Nasr City while female students slept inside the facility. Officials confirmed that money was stolen but no injuries were reported during the break-in.
Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid, chairman of the Johor Islamic Religious Affairs Committee, said the state government acted quickly to address safety concerns. The building serves as interim housing while the permanent state-owned residence undergoes renovations. Officials worked with the Egyptian property owner to arrange security personnel and repair damaged windows. The permanent facility is expected to be ready by year's end and will also have security guards stationed on site.
