KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — Besraya (M) Sdn Bhd will conduct a disaster preparedness drill involving a power outage at the Mines Toll Plaza South today, from 10am until 12pm.
In a statement yesterday, Besraya announced that the drill, supported by the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA), was being held to assess the preparedness level of Besraya staff, particularly the Toll Operations Department, in facing disasters.
