| MERDEKA - Risky Teachers |
NST - 6 August 2007 - School takes patriotism to new heights By : Jason Gerald John - MALACCA: From afar, two men perched on the roof of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kubu would look like contractors repairing the tiles on top of the school building.
However, out of curiosity, New Straits Times photographer Nashairi Mohd Nawi went to take a closer look. To his astonishment, he learnt that the two men on the roof of the two-storey building, were the senior assistant of SK Kubu, Mohamad Jaafar, 47, and the school’s administrative staff, Noor Rashid Osman, 50. The two were busy placing hundreds of miniature Jalur Gemilang on top of the roof, in the spirit of Merdeka. "This is the first time we are doing this. "All the teachers were discussing one day on how to decorate the school to usher in the country’s 50 years of independence and this idea was hatched. "Although it is risky, when all the flags are in place, the school roof is full of miniature Jalur Gemilang," said Mohamad. "With the Merdeka celebration kicking off in Malacca on Aug 17, we wanted to do something different not done by any other school, and this is how the teachers and students in the school want to show our love for the country," said Noor Rashid. The miniature Jalur Gemilang were bought using the prize money of RM700 which it won from a school beautification competition last year in which SK Kubu took home the consolation prize.

 Hmmm .. guess there was nothing wrong by being patriotic and different ... but either both or one could fall and die .. wonder if their family would think that it was worth the trouble. Talk about doing the right thing wrongly .. no safety consideration at all. What was he picman thinking anyway ..?? .. exposing the adventure of it or the risk-taking teachers ... aiyaa .. tak tau lah ...
