In the Early Days

Back in 2002, Mr. Megaraj Selvarajoo joined the fire protection industry as an assistant technical at northern region, a leading firefighting contractor at Ipoh, Perak. He has gained lots of skills and experience about fire extinguishers maintenance to guide him towards the sector. However, he decided to leave the job a year later as his ambition and motivation led him to pursue further study. He firmly believes that the combination of practical experience and education will be indispensable throughout his career path.

Extensive Industry Experience

In 10 years experience, he continued to work with northern region and promoted to a supervisor position. Meanwhile, he persisted in learning and improving himself with knowledge, skills, and abilities to keep his passion in the firefighting industry alive. He has learned and practiced refilling different fire extinguishers (water, foam, dry powder, CO2 and wet chemical) following the correct and safe procedures. He also gained lots of experience about installing, inspecting, testing, and troubleshooting the fire suppression systems and equipment in the building, for example, fire alarms, manual call points, smoke detectors, heat detectors, escape route signs, emergency lights, fire alarm bells, starter board, and so forth. He also has experience setting and maintaining conventional fire alarm panels and addressable fire alarm panel, sprinkler system, hose reel systems, wet/dry riser systems and pump maintenance (duty, standby & jockey pump). He had an insatiable desire for learning that made him practiced and mastered them thoroughly and gained a minute of acquaintance with every detail of the fire safety engineering.

Taking on Further Challenges

After years in the firefighting sector, he has gained important work experience and valuable insights into the industry. From his humble beginning as work from the industry’s grassroots, he has handled and worked in various projects like factories, commercial shop lots, hospitals, shopping malls and government premises. His strong work ethic and passion with the industry drove him to rolled-up sleeves and begin his own company, Kejuruteraan Sinar Maju Teknik (KSMT) Sdn Bhd from the ground up. He is now working to push the company forward aggressively to provide the highest standard and best value service to the community.
