Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS’s campus was closed from 31st July - 6th August 2009 due to the increasing number of Influenza Like Illness (ILI) among its’ students. During that period, all students were required to leave campus as disinfection works were to be done all over campus, including the hostels. Thus, UTP students had to return at least one room key, including their padlock keys to their respective Residential Village offices. This is so the workers can gain access into their rooms and wardrobes to disinfect it. Failure to do so result in disciplinary action against students and their padlocks were forced open. Fortunately, many students complied with the rules set by the management, and their checkout was handled smoothly by Village Supervisors with the help of Residential College Support Unit (RCSU). RCSU members also assisted the management by following the workers to each room during disinfection works to ensure that nothing untoward happen to the students’ be...

The year 2009 has brought with it such a wonderful gift to all UTP students. The phone network coverage for all CELCOM users has been improved drastically. Majority of UTP students are using three types of phone network service provider which are DiGi, CELCOM, as well as MAXIS. However, many students faced problems with the network coverage on campus. This is due to the poor phone coverage in the residential villages, especially at Village 3, Village 4 and Village 5. Most of the residents in those villages do not receive a clear phone coverage that enables them to make phone calls or send a single message. This problem has led to many problematic miscommunications. Some students were forced to go outside of their block just to make a phone call. Therefore, to overcome this problem, Welfare department of Residential College Support Unit of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTPRCSU) has taken some actions. They are:- · Petition Petitions have been distributed among a number of UTP stu...

On 14 th February 2009, Residential College Support Unit (RCSU) with the assistance from Rakan Masjid Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS has successfully organised “Gerak Gempur Qiblat” in Village 5. “Gerak Gempur Qiblat” was initiated after RCSU received a complaint from a concerned student that the qiblat direction in Village 5 is incorrect, particularly the female’s block. After consulting the Imam of Masjid An-Nur and doing some research, we have found that the qiblat direction in V5 female block is indeed incorrect. Therefore, we have pasted the correct qiblat direction on the pantry ceiling of each house. We have also informed the residents of this qiblat correction. Soon, “Gerak Gempur Qiblat” will also be conducted in other villages. For those who would like further clarification, you may visit http://www.qiblalocator.com/ or email your concerns to utprcsu@gmail.com . The full report of this matter is already being posted to http://ut...
