All SAF Events Postponed due to Covid19

All Siniya Alumni Forum activities and events are postponed due to #COVID19 🦠 as a preventive measure to keep you and everyone else healthy.

Please follow the guidelines provided by Ministry of Health so that we can fight this terrible virus together

Siniya Alumni Forum had a number of events scheduled for this year 2020 to support our Alma mater as well as improve the image of Siniya in Academics, Sports and most importantly Discipline.
We, however, found it wiser to postpone these activities and events due to the Corona virus Disease 2019 pandemic that started in Wuhan Province in China and has now spread like wildfire throughout the whole world.
We, therefore, were not able to hold the Dinner and AGM and may not even be able to have any other event or activity in the current situation. We shall communicate on a way forward when the coast is clear.
