COMMENT | Millions for public toilets wasted if dirty habits remain

COMMENT | So, Malaysian public toilets will get RM150 million for repairs under Budget 2024. But does this solve the root problem of our terrible toilets?

There's little point in spending millions on public restrooms when p*ss poor attitudes, pardon the pun, are not changed.

I don't deny that well-designed facilities will help. They should have lots of natural light and ventilation for our hot, humid climate (like those along the North-South highway), not those same old dark, dank, smelly toilets we've had to endure. And they should be tough and vandal-proof, not the flimsy plastic stuff that gets broken within months.

But the hardware is just part of the solution. What about the software of Malaysian toilet habits?...
