Dr Khir Toyo At Selangor State Assembly

FORMER Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo came under fire at the second day of the Selangor State Assembly sitting for his decision to present a broom to the Hulu Selangor District Council last year.
It was given for failing to collect assessment above the 50% target for 2006.
The criticism came from state infrastructure committee chairman Datuk Dr Hasan Ali who argued that Khir’s policy to hand out a broom to the council had affected the morale of civil servants.
“I don’t understand why the Sungai Panjang assemblyman decided to present the Hulu Selangor district officer with a broom. He failed to consider the implications of his action,’’ Hasan said when debating the budget tabled by mentri besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.
Hasan went on to say that even the current Selangor Umno chief Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib had admitted that the broom presentation incident had caused the defeat of Barisan Nasional in the March 8 general election.
