Flushing Out The Truth In Our Public Toilets

Flushing Out The Truth In Our Public Toilets

This year’s World Toilet Day theme is “Toilets - A Place for Peace”. Now, Malaysia has made some progress when it comes to our public toilets, with the government making efforts to incentivise premises and ramping up inspections, but we haven’t always been known for best toilet facilities. So we thought it would be a great time to investigate and find out what makes a good public toilet, the idea of “peace” when it comes to toilet-related sanitation and how far along are we in achieving the government’s aim for a BMW (Bersih, Menawan, Wangi) rated toilet.
