Sekalung tahniah diucapkan kepada warga kerja SM Teknik Johor Bahru yang telah berusaha untuk merealisasikan Merdeka Walk sebagai sebuah realiti. Ruangan Merdeka Walk ini sedikit sebanyak mampu mendidik warga sekolah khususnya para pelajar tentang kepentingan memperingati hari Kemerdekaan Negara. Merdeka Walk ini juga mampu memberi rasa keinsafan dalam diri pelajar tentang betapa beruntungnya kita menjadi warga Malaysia sekaligus menghargai perjuangan pemimpin terdahulu yang telah berkorban demi mencapai kemerdekaan Negara. Ini secara tidak langsung mampu membentuk semangat patriotisme dalam kalangan pelajar dan menjadi batu asas untuk melahirkan generasi muda Malaysia yang berwawasan.

Pn Hajah Juraidah Johan – Guru Sejarah

Merdeka Walk membuka nostalgia lama meniti perjuangan, demi maruah, demi harga diri satu bangsa merdeka. Sekaligus membangkitkan semangat cintakan tanah air.

Pn Thamarai A/P Thamodharan – Guru Sejarah

Program “The merdeka Walk” anjuran Maxis CyberlinQ merupakan satu program yang amat bermanfaat

bersempena sambutan 50 tahun kemerdekaan Negara. Pelaksanaan program ini memberikan input dan maklumat yang amat berguna kepada guru dan pelajar SMTJB bagi mengetahui rentetan peristiwa sejarah bermula dari detik kemerdekaan 31 Ogos 1957. Program ini juga amat berguna untuk Pengajaran & Pembelajaran Sejarah Tingkatan 4 dan 5.

Pn Raja Azma Raja Mamat – Ketua Panitia Sejarah

Merdeka Walk sebagai pencetus keinsafan kepada warga SM Teknik Johor Bahru supaya menghargai jerit perih pejuang-pejuang negara dalam usaha mencapai kemerdekaan. Merdeka Walk memberi peluang untuk warga SM Teknik menghayati dan mensyukuri kemerdekaan yang dikecapi.

Pn Rosimah Busro – Guru Bahasa Melayu

Saya percaya usaha mewujudkan Merdeka Walk merupakan usaha yang tepat dan sangat relevan dengan tuntutan semasa. Laluan ini akan menjadi satu tarikan baru untuk dikunjungi oleh para pelajar bagi mendapatkan pelbagai informasi berkaitan sejarah kemerdekaan dan pembangunan negara. Syabas atas usaha murni ini.

Pn Siti Norzah Mat Daris – Guru Bahasa Melayu

Sebagai salah satu usaha memberi pendedahan kepada warga sekolah mengenai konsep kemerdekaan yang patut diketahui termasuk sejarah dan tokoh-tokohnya. Di samping meningkatkan pengetahuan dan penghayatan tentang ERTI KEMERDEKAN yang patut dikekalkan dan dihargai. Selain menanam dalam diri warga sekolah sebagai rakyat Malaysia menilai setiap sumbangan dan peranannya dalam kejayaan era 50 tahun kemerdekaan seiring dengan kemajuan bidang sains dan teknologi.

Pn Noridiamiyanti Samiron – Kaunselor / Bendahari Merdeka Walk

First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the team members of Tech Savvy for this praiseworthy effort. Kudos to all of you! Merdeka Walk, apparently, is carried out in conjunction with Malaysia's 50th Merdeka celebration. It is carried out in order to elevate the awareness of the efforts done by our founding fathers in achieving independence and maintaining sovereignty of our beloved Malaysia.

Ms. Nor Dianahany Ismail - English Teacher

Malaysia has prospered under the stewardship of her many sons and daughters. Such peace and political stability do not come by itself but through the sacrifices of these many individuals who believe in the dignity of Malaysia as an independent country. It would do us good to take a tour along the Merdeka Walk and then to remind us of the hopes and aspirations of our former leaders so that we can realign our present dreams with them. Then, we can truly call ourselves Malaysians in our own right.
Ms Tan Gaik Wah - English Teacher

Today, we had a fun day processing the exhibits that are to be put up along the Merdeka Walk. It was fun because we had the opportunity to work together on such an exciting and interesting project.

There were some hiccups, as things are wont happen, but we were able to overcome them quite easily. When there are cooperation and teamwork, obstacles fade away into the background in the glare of the light of results at the end of the tunnel.

Great job, guys!

2007-09-22T04:51:00.000-07:00

20 September 2007:

The team members are preparing the exhibits for the Merdeka Walk. They are meticulously processing the materials to be put up at the Merdeka Walk before the dateline. The members are very intent on their work to ensure that there are no defects to mar the exhibits. Great job, guys!

Ramadhan Al Mubarak…..Is here again!

2007-09-21T16:40:00.000-07:00

13 September 2007:

We wish our team members happy Ramadhan. May this Ramadhan brings us joy, happiness and makes us close to Allah. The team members have to stay back to finish their works this fasting month. The tasks were carried out at Biology Laboratory from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Thank you guys for your cooperation!

Breaking "bad" news...... An Obstacle....

2007-09-21T10:13:00.000-07:00

12 September 2007:

This is our first obstacle….. The technician of the school told us that all works at the proposed Merdeka Walk (at the Reading Corner) must be stopped immediately. The technician also told us to move the Merdeka Walk to another place. We didn’t agree with the technician’s idea at all because the Reading Corner is the best place for us to convey our Merdeka messages and the students passed this Reading Corner almost every hour. The reason given by the technician was that the warrant to upgrade the present Reading Corner has been approved by the Kementerian. The roof of the Reading Corner will be changed to a new one which is more comfortable and conducive for reading and learning.

We almost wanted to quit this community project and return all the money given by Maxis Cyberlinq. But the month of Ramadhan brings us lucky and happiness. The Headmistress, Puan Hajah Maedah instructed us to continue our project. The administration will upgrade the Reading Corner into fresh new look. The exhibits will be displayed at the new Reading Corner (to be named Merdeka Walk) before the dateline. Thanks once again Hajah Maedah for helping us….

The making of display boards.....

2007-09-21T09:44:00.000-07:00

10 & 11 September 2007:

This is the first item that we made for the exhibits. The exhibits will be posted on the black display boards. The display boards looked very gorgeous with the gold and silver lining as its border. It took two days to finish this task. Thanks to all the team members who are very intent on their work.

The processes in the making of display boards are as follow:

a) The plastic board is cut into half (in landscape)

b) The gold/silver lining is attached to the boards as border

Shopping time.....

2007-09-21T09:13:00.000-07:00

9 September 2007:

We went for shopping at Rainbow Art Stationery, Taman Universiti, Skudai. This shop is really cool! Every item that we bought has a special discount. We spent 3 hours there…. choosing…. bargaining….and buying. Here are the items that we bought for our exhibits:

ITEMS	AMOUNT (RM)

A3 Laminating Film	80.00
2 packets Colour Ink Jet Paper	32.00

Physics Walk SMTJB

Chemistry Walk SMTJB

We found that it is more meaningful if we decorate the reading corner in our school with historical displays to add more spice to the event. Since the reading corner is a walking path for students and teachers, we simply name it the “Merdeka Walk”. The “Merdeka Walk” will cater historical information on Malaysia’s five decades of independence, Malaysia’s successes, history of our own school and other history related materials.

The current reading corner:

The reading corner will be transformed into Merdeka Walk:

With the upgrading of the reading corner, we hope that the students will spend most of their time here, reading the history materials and improve their history knowledge. Apart from that, Merdeka Walk will also be an outlet of expressions of members of the community on patriotism and unity. We are proud to be Malaysian! Malaysiaku Gemilang!
