Well, that actually means 'losing your face' in public. Do you fancy getting a 'Broom Award'? It's the first time I've ever heard of such an award. Initially, I thought it's an award for a very hardworking sweeper or something...
To cut a long story short:~ Selangor Mentri Besar, Datuk Seri Dr. Mohamad Khir Toyo presented 2 broom awards to Hulu Selangor District Council and Klang Municipal Council in 'recognition' for their under-performance (being failure to collect assessment above the 50% mark required for 2006).It was reported that his officers had 'tried to keep the 2 brooms away', so that Dr. Khir would forget but that was not to be. The guy was adamant to present it. Many were astounded after witnessing the event. Personally, I'm never a fan of any politicians... whether this was just a publicity gimmick but hats off to him for this brave and unpopular decision.
Let's hope this will awaken some other sleepy fellas. I'm sure none of them would want to be the next recipient of the infamous 'Broom Award'! :D

ReplyDeleteBroom awards huh? With his extremely busy schedule, I wonder when he has the time to think of these scheme.
What next? A meme for his councilors ... LOL!
Hehe! What a creative award and cheap... seesuuaaii dengan tema or the purpose for the given award. I wonder what they will get if it's the other way round? perhaps a Dyson Vacuum cleaner or an iRobot! I just love rubbing it in!
