In addition to the sacrifice of health and safety officers to go on duty as frontliners during the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the Covid-19 outbreak, the role of principals and fellows of residential colleges is also crucial in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the students who stay on campus.
According to the Principal of Residential College 3 (KK3), Rosjuliana Hidayu Rosli, she must ensure students remain in the good and controlled condition during the MCO.

The safety and wellbeing of nearly 1,000 students of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) in Gambang and Pekan have always been the priority of the university.
Cafeteria and retail outlets that operate from 7.00 a.m. until 7.00 p.m. as well as the internet facilities certainly comfort the students during the Movement Control Order (MCO).
According to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Affairs and Alumni), Professor Dato’ Dr. Yuserrie Zainuddin, the university provides free food for students during the MCO.
