Tajuk Yang Disukai Bulan Ini - ‘Broom award’

‘Broom award’ draws flak

KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor Mentri Besar's awarding of brooms to under-performing local councils and state agencies to remind them to buck up has drawn flak from many quarters.

Many find his “broom bouquet” for poor performance in poor taste and crude.

The “broom award” was even brought up in Parliament on Tuesday.

The civil service umbrella union Cuepacs said it received calls from its members from other states complaining about the broom.

Cuepacs president Omar Osman said members asked if there was indeed no other way for Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo to express his dissatisfaction.

On Monday, at an excellence awards ceremony Dr Khir gave a broom each to the Hulu Selangor District Council and Hulu Selangor Land Office for failing to collect assessment for 2006 above the stipulated 50% mark.

Dr Khir also warned agencies that failed to hit the target for 2007 to expect the same “present”.

“We can understand the feelings of the civil servants attending the ceremony. The brooms were given openly, without even trying to disguise these by wrapping them,” said Omar on Tuesday.

“We cannot accept such an act. Although we support the Mentri Besar’s intention for all civil servants to improve their performance, there is a better way of doing it, such as giving the agencies a low star ranking or a reminder letter.”

As civil servants who form the backbone of the Selangor state government were loyal staff, they did not deserve such a treatment in public, Omar said.

Public Services director-general Tan Sri Ismail Adam declined to comment, except to say that “there are many ways of telling civil servants how to do their jobs.”

“You can tell them directly or issue them a directive. There are many ways to ‘skin a cat’ but you have to find one that is appropriate,” he said.

In Parliament, Datuk Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Haji Omar (BN-Larut) questioned whether presenting a broom, which is linked to bad luck, was appropriate as an award.

“There must be other ways to motivate the staff. Certainly not a broom,” said Raja Ahmad.

Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun, in her reply, also said that she did not agree with giving out brooms.

“But I am sure the Selangor Mentri Besar, who is intelligent, would know its suitability,” said Azizah (BN-Beaufort).

In Penang, Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad said that when a person had done something good, he should be praised in public but if he has failed to perform, then he should be rebuked in private.

'Broom award' for two agencies

Unenviable award: Hulu Selangor District Council chief Tukiman Nail (right) getting the ‘broom award’ from Dr Khir at the Dewan Jubli Perak in Shah Alam Monday.
The “broom award” was printed in the programme book as Special Award Performance For Revenue Collection 2006.



SHAH ALAM: Two state government agencies were publicly rebuked when they were presented with a broom each on stage by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo for failing to collect assessment above the 50% mark required for 2006.

Hulu Selangor District Council chief Tukiman Nail received the broom worth RM3.80 at the Selangor Excellence Awards at the Dewan Jubli Perak yesterday.

The other recipient, Hulu Selangor Land Office former district officer Mislan Tugiu who is now Klang Municipal Council president, is overseas and a representative received it on his behalf. He avoided pressmen after leaving the stage.

Earlier, officers had tried to keep the two brooms away, hoping that Dr Khir would forget, but he asked for them despite the unease among the several hundred government staff who attended the event.



Many staff members shook their heads when the brooms were presented to the recipients.

“The broom is not meant to shame the officer but it is a reminder that the government wants all departments to buck up and improve to become results-oriented,” said Dr Khir.

“Many times, we have called for improvement but it has fallen on deaf ears. When agencies knew they would receive the brooms, they automatically collected their revenue, hitting 90% for 2007.

“But the broom was for 2006 and it had to be given so that officers would know that I mean business,” he stressed.

Dr Khir said that agencies which fail to hit the 2007 performance target would also get the broom.

“We can’t have those with a lackadaisical attitude,” he said.



Aku lagi tak faham khir oi, apa yang hang dok buat ni. Come on, we're living in the new millenium, ini sudah tahun 2007, bukan zaman kesultanan Melaka, di mana datuk dan panglima boleh buat apa saja...... this is not the jungle age man.... ini zaman micro cips, dan orang Malaysia pun dah sampai ke angkasa lepas lagi....

Alamak what is happening...

I hope Pak Lah is taking note of this event close to his heart and mind......

takutlah orang lain buat contoh..

Action speak louder than words.... so words khir ni tak siapa peduli tapi aksi dia hahhhhh! terlampau kan?


Nasib baik yang kena pun orang yang dia sendiri pilih duduk di kerusi tu, if not lagi kesianla.........

Kawan buat kat kawan..... ha ha


satu soalan lagi....
Awat! Pak Lah pun dok buat macamni ka?

Pemimpin tertinggi dok tunjuk jalan betul, yang bawah over tak tentu hal...
Hai gerammmmmmmmmm...nye!

Hulu Selangor diberi Anugerah Penyapu

PERLU TINGKAT KUTIPAN: Dr Mohamad Khir (kiri) menyampaikan penyapu kepada Yang Dipertua MDHS, Tukiman Nail, sebagai simbolik pada majlis anugerah sempena Bulan Kualiti 2007 di Shah Alam, semalam.


SHAH ALAM: Pejabat Tanah dan Daerah (PTD) Hulu Selangor serta Majlis Daerah Hulu Selangor (MDHS) menjadi penerima pertama 'Anugerah Penyapu' daripada kerajaan negeri kerana gagal mencapai sasaran kutipan hasil cukai semasa dan tunggakan tahun lalu.

Anugerah Khas sebatang penyapu yang diikat riben itu disampaikan Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo kepada wakil jabatan dan agensi berkenaan pada majlis anugerah sempena Bulan Kualiti 2007 Pentadbiran Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri, di sini, semalam.

PTD Hulu Selangor dan MDHS hanya memungut 55 peratus cukai semasa dan 56 peratus cukai tertunggak, manakala MDHS memungut 66.9 peratus hasil cukai semasa dan 23.4 peratus cukai tertunggak tahun lalu.

Kerajaan Selangor menetapkan semua sembilan PTD serta 12 PBT memungut 90 peratus hasil cukai semasa dan 70 peratus hasil tunggakan cukai setiap tahun.

Dr Mohamad Khir berkata, anugerah itu diberi sebagai simbolik kepada PTD Hulu Selangor dan MDHS supaya berusaha membaiki prestasi untuk memenuhi sasaran yang ditetapkan kerajaan.

"Anugerah ini bukan bertujuan memalukan, menjatuhkan atau merendahkan semangat individu atau jabatan kerajaan dan PBT, tetapi memberi kesedaran supaya berusaha membaiki prestasi pada masa datang.

"Kita dapati tiada tindakan diambil oleh pegawai terbabit walaupun gagal mencapai tahap minimum yang ditetapkan," katanya.

Dr Mohamad Khir berkata, anugerah penyapu itu sebagai simbolik dan peringatan kepada pegawai atasan jabatan kerajaan dan PBT supaya membersihkan sikap tidak produktif kakitangan bawahan.

Katanya, sejak dimaklumkan pemberian Anugerah Penyapu itu awal tahun ini, PTD Hulu Selangor dan MDHS menunjukkan prestasi membanggakan sehingga September lalu.

Tujuh PTD dan PBT mencatatkan kutipan melebihi sasaran ditetapkan tahun lalu didahului PTD Sepang yang mengutip 112 peratus hasil cukai semasa dan 73 peratus cukai tertunggak diikuti PTD Hulu Langat, Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ), Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA), Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (MPSp), Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ) dan Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ).

Semua jabatan dan agensi terbabit dibawa mengadakan lawatan ke Melbourne, Australia, selama lima hari pada pertengahan April lalu sebagai insentif.

** If it's me, I won't go up the stage to receive that award... not of embarassment but more on upright principle. I think all of us are brought up to aknowledge that brooms brings no luck or meaning you are cursed if a broom comes into hitting contact upon you for any reasons. This award is a hit with the most hitting impact! Well, that man up there in the picture is all cursed up..... believe me and i wouldn't want to be in his shoes.**
