WALKATHON 2008

It is with much anticipation that the PIBG launched a fund-raising project for the school on the 29th of July 2008. The short ceremony was held during the school’s morning assembly and it was attended by the PIBG Chairman, Mr. Chang Kim Loong, AMN, Deputy Chairman, Mr. Koh Swee Hyong and Walkathon Chairman & PIBG Committee-Member, Mr. Wong Koon Choon. The Walkathon will be held on 3oth August 2008 (Saturday).

The PIBG has put in a lot of effort into planning and making this project a success. The objectives of this fund-raising effort are as follows:

1. to fund the installation of CCTVs at strategic locations around the school grounds
2. to build terraced seating places at the school field
3. to build and equip a music room
4. to up-grade the school canteen

The PIBG Committee-Members 2008/2009, along with the Principal, Mr. Gan Peng Kheang & PIBG Advisor of the school, are working very hard to ensure that a substantial amount of money is raised for the purposes above.

In order to encourage the students and staff to raise funds, many attractive prizes will be given away progressively, culminating in the giving away of the grand prizes on the 30th of August 2008.

The grand prizes are for those who reach a collection of RM1,000.00 and above.

First prize : A laptop
Second and third prizes : Hand phones
Fourth, fifth and sixth prizes : MP4s.

Despite the present unfavourable economic climate we hope that the students, staff, alumni and parents alike will take this fund-raising project in the right spirit. Ultimately the money collected will be for the benefit of the students here. Also, let us continue to carry out our social obligations and not deny our students the privilege of learning in a more conducive environment.

Thus, on behalf of the PIBG of SMKTD, we would like to appeal to one and all to procure donations or to dig deep into your pockets and donate for this worthy cause. Thank you for your support and generosity. We will keep you up-dated on the progress of this fund-raising project. Remember, it is more blessed to give than to receive and let us work hand in hand with the PIBG to fulfil our vision.

Thank you.
