SHAH ALAM: Former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo has claimed that the controversial broom award he introduced proved successful in providing the necessary push for local councils to perform better.He said his actions, which was later slammed by many for being humiliating, had brought positive results when the council that received the “award” last year became the best performer this year.
“I was accused of humiliating the officer and now, the same officer got the best performance award. It shows that what I did was right,” Dr Khir told a press conference after the Shadow Executive Council meeting here yesterday.
Last year, Dr Khir presented a broom to Hulu Selangor District Council chief Tukiman Nail and Hulu Selangor Land Office’s former district officer Mislan Tugiu for failing to collect assessment above the 50% mark required for 2006.
Dr Khir said the performance of the council had improved from 47% to 94%.

perhaps the broom receive perceive the "award" from different persepective.thus making him the best performer this year.
once a failure doesnt necessarily means a failure forever.just like this man.he learned from his mistake.kudos to him!.
Salam tunku,
Mungkin dah jadi kebiasaan dalam adat Melayu bahawa penyapu merupakan satu objek yang 'hina' atau 'sial'. Mungkin simboliknya ialah penyapu digunakan untuk menyapu sampah, seperti mana yang kita tahu sampah sinonim dengan benda kotor. Walaupun mungkin bagi Khir Toyo, pemberian penyapu tersebut bukanlah untuk menghina tetapi ada maksud disebaliknya. Apapun, bagi saya masih ada benda lain yang lebih 'simbolik' daripada penyapu...
nampaknya macam tindakan kontroversi dari Khalid tahun lepas ada membuahkan hasil.dulu agak cukup hebat jugaklah kecaman yang diterima oleh Khir sebab buat "anugerah sapu sampah" ni.tapi yang terima award ni lagi berani.sanggup berdepan dengan kegagalans sendiri dan belajar dari kegagalan tu.syabas diucapkan!.
kalau BN masih lagi memerintah Selangor entah siapa la pulak yang bakal menerima anugerah penyapu ni.haha.
Biasa la mentaliti kita ni. Yang gemilang nak di agung-agungkan, yang buruk, kalau boleh tak nak tengok lansung.
Anugerah Penyapu ni ada juga baiknya. Biar 'mereka-mereka' yang tak sedar atau buat-buat tak sedar dapat 'bangun' walaupun secara paksaan dan malu.
Tak kan asyik nak jaga muka sahaja , sampai nak gadai yang lain.
I agree wth you, but then if i gonna do this i would also think about the malay sentivities,the culture part..its not nice to certain level humiliating the person. However this is also happen to be the edge of what so call the Broom Award.
So Toyol supposely handover the tropy wth some sort of broom sticking on it,instead of a typical broom, no matter how brand new it was.
