  "summary": "Malaysian students in Saudi Arabia are currently not under immediate evacuation orders following a deadly attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, according to Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir. The incident, which resulted in 12 deaths and 309 injuries, has prompted close monitoring in key regions such as Madinah and Makkah to ensure the safety of students. While no evacuation is required at present, Zambry emphasized that the situation remains fluid, and close coordination with the Foreign Ministry is ongoing to gather the latest information. Additionally, the minister announced a RM200,000 allocation aimed at assisting 400 Malaysian students from low-income families, with each student receiving RM500 in stages to support their educational expenses. This assistance is intended to ease financial burdens and enable students to continue their studies without undue hardship.",
