Kuala lumpur: The Uniformed Student Brigade (RELASIS), established in 2010, has produced over 25,000 alumni, some of whom have successfully joined the country's security forces, such as the army and police.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Malaysian Volunteer Department (RELA) Director-General, Commissioner Lokman Effendi Ramli, stated that RELASIS serves as a platform to build discipline and leadership, develop a sense of identity, and instill patriotism among university students, which contributes to national unity. He emphasized that RELASIS provides an opportunity for students of various races and religions to be actively involved in volunteer activities, while also training them to embrace patriotic values and a spirit of service to the community.

RELASIS members play a role in community programmes and clean-up events, including assisting communities after a disaster. They are eligible to receive an allowance if assigned a task, just like other RELA volunteers. Lokman Effendi shared these insights with reporters after officiating the RELASIS 2025 Commissioning Ceremony at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP).

A total of 321 trainees from 20 public universities and polytechnics nationwide were commissioned as Junior Volunteer Officers at the ceremony. The event also included the Best RELASIS Student Awards, covering categories for Overall Best, Best Leadership, Best Discipline, and Best Drill.

Meanwhile, Lokman Effendi mentioned that for the year 2025, RELASIS has registered over 1,870 members from 31 public higher learning institutions across the country, who are actively participating in community activities, training sessions, and social programmes.
