Thumbs Up
I avoid using public toilets as they are usually dirty and smelly. Recently, I had to use the toilet in the Urban Transformation Centre (UTC). I was surprised to see that it is spic-and-span. The floor is dry and clean. The wash basin bowls are clean. There was the fragrance of deodorizer. The blower was on operation creating circulation of air. This toilet is very well maintained. It is so clean that one can almost have a meal there without feeling uncomfortable.
In my opinion, the majority of Malaysians are not civic minded in toilets and we hear many complaints about the poor condition of public toilets. I receive regular emails about toilets in other countries where they put up graphical posters on do’s and don’ts of using the toilet. I think this type of posters must be put up to educate our public on using the toilet.
The State Library has a branch in UTC and maybe they can conduct programmes on toilet usage as a service to the community. This toilet is for the convenience of the people and it is up to them to keep it clean. The facility is new and the high level of maintenance must be maintained.
