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.........
