As a training exercise for its residents, Kolej Siswa Jaya (KSJ) conducted a Fire Drill 2022 Programme on 29th December 2022, from 12.00 a.m. until 12.50 a.m. The College Emergency Response Team (ERT), Fellow, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Security Team worked with the Student Residential College Committee (JKM) 2022/2023 to plan this program.

Briefing by the incident commander, Mr. Radhir Sham

This program was designed to give all KSJ residents early exposure to self-rescue techniques in the case of a college fire and to make sure KSJ residents are always prepared for any emergency. In addition, the college administration can inspect the elevators and security system of KSJ to ensure that all systems are operating correctly.
