A BROOM FOR UNDER-PERFORMANCE

A broom for Selangor agencies under performance. Selangor MB gave away 2 brooms for those agencies under-performed in its duties during a function held in Kuala Selangor. Some may disagree on the method use but I should agree with him this time. Department Heads or Directors won't listen to silently reprimanded because these people feel nobody will know about it. Giving them warning letters to back up will serve it for a time but it will revert back to its old tricks again. You see state top officers think they will be there for say 3 years or less and they move on. In between they just do what is necessary. Dont rock the boat kind of mentality. Basing on my experience in the running a company, I can feel the MB frustrations when performance never achieved inspite of telling them months ahead. I used to give warning letters to employees for various kind of offences; some more than 3 warning letters, yet these employees will revert back to their old self again after a month or two. Unless I took drastic action to terminate their services then they realize what they had gone through would not be tolerated anymore. Shaming them publicly should do the honourable trick. The officers concerned will try his best to do his work and so are the downline in his department. We have read so many complaints about government agencies missing from work, long meeting (of what nature nobody knows?), outstation (sometimes playing golf for PR sake?), attending courses leaving work piling up and dare not delegate job to secretaries or assistants, dont care less attitude, et cetera..........mind you with most departments computerized yet one can hear about missing files like the case of PR applications.........under consideration for so X times then files not found anymore have to reapply with fresh application forms and the process will continue. Shame them or ship them out. These civil servants must realize they have jobs to do without fear or favour to anybody. Go by the book. You won't get it wrong. So a broom to sweep out........
