Where on earth is the World's best public toilets located?...

Here : Seongbuk, which is part of Seoul, and the city of Jinju in South Korea.

Read here and here too

Will KK or any other towns in Sabah and generally, Malaysia will ever win this award by WHO?

"The provision of public toilets is not just a service to the public but promotes a cleaner and more healthful urban environment. On the other hand, a lack of toilets may, to some extent, discourage some people from leaving their homes for long periods of time or visitors from venturing far from their hotels, with a loss of income for local businesses." - WHO

Although bad habits die hard - I believe we can change. Though, it'll be harder for us in Sabah as we have to also 'accomodate' all those 'Penduduk Tempatan Istimewa' too..

Hombi,

kalo ko pegi KLCC punya tandas bersih tahap gaban..buli baring2 lagi dalam dia..siap ada guard lagi, tapi satu kali masuk rm1.20 ka..sa pun lupa

Tapi realitynya, tandas jipun pun bukan bersih sangat. Kalau tandas di universiti ni siap ada tu CRAP melimpas di tepi tandas lagi..gila pengotor

Lab Papa, nda kelas la tandas KLCC, tandas di The Gardens lagi best - RM5 per entry. Tukang pungut duit pun pakai baju macam butler.

Lab papa said...

rin-chan,
rm5 untuk buang benda kumuh? oho..that is way too much oh. Ini yg si ampal bilang, "uih mo buang tai*k pun kana bayar ka di bandar"

Where is the gardens anyway?

Hombidai said...

itu nama dia gud sovis.. hahaha

but to think of it.. adakah toilet di KLCC & Gardens atau Centre point dikira sbg public toilet yg very public? hmmm

i was thinking toilet yg mcm dkt library KK bah and di donggongon, dekat pasar.. that i consider a true public toilet... i wonder how WHO categorize it... hmmm

(kebetulan ni word verification ada kaitan dgn tandas : "flushe" LOL)

Hombidai said...

To have a clean public toilet, we would need a cleaner that cleans it several times throughout the day. Sini pun macam itu juga... I don't think we can blame the government, but the users... Some people just don't care and leave their "crap" whatever that may be behind. And teaching them isn't gonna do any good anyway because they just belong the group of humans that just don't care. SO I think in some ways people's behaviors can be changed but you'll still see some crap left behind even after that. Ohhh just to share a gross story... In Atlanta, they installed these "automatic" self-cleaning toilets... when you see them at first you can't tell that they are restrooms because they're just like stainless steel box until you get closer and read the buttons on the door. Supposedly, the restrooms only let people in once it stops its cleaning process and it cleans everytime after someones uses it. Anyway, so there was one installed at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Smack down in the middle of the city, but the "self-cleaning" function didn't work so the "stuff" inside the commode was overflowing... yet there were still women who dared to use it. I mean, the stuff was overflowing how can the women put their butt on the seat was beyond me. But it was gross.. and no self cleaning toilets don't work. Need a real cleaner...

i dont mind paying smpai RM5 kalau itu saja jamban yg paling bersih and jamban2 yg lain suma mcm mo muntah mo masuk. :P

paling sa malas, ada urg tia pandai mo pakai tu toilet bowl yg main duduk...adakah pigi cangkung atas tu toilet bowl. adididi....

agree with aza...to get a clean toilet, the cleaner must always be there to ensure it is clean. mmg patut public jaga kebersihan tandas tapi taulah...kalu kasi 100 org masuk toilet mangkali 5 org ja yg tau mau flush atau duduk atas toilet bowl dgn betul.

Lab papa said...

Aiyaa,

banyak bahaya oo itu duduk bertenggek atas toilet bowl. Buli pacah ooo..sangat2 bahaya.

Kadang2 tia ble salah juga pengguna, after relief sekali tinguk teda air, balik2 takan tu flush pun teda keluar air..aiyyaaaaa....

carolchs said...

ermmm yakan..betul jg cakap lab papa. kalau teda air, pa mcm juga kan mo flush...hmmmm....

Hombidai said...

bertenggek di mangkuk tandas - bahaya!!

sia ada satu kawan perempuan & kawan lelaki - dua2 pernah bertenggek di mangkuk tandas (though bukan satu kali masuk jamban sama2 lah hehe).. sekali tu tergelincir, kaki masuk dalam toilet bowl.. bukan sahaja cedera tapi.. kamu faham2lah.. kasian dorang tapi LOL!!

Hombidai said...

satu lagi... advice dari sis-in-law sia. for perempuan, kalu boleh jan pakai tu tandas duduk, bagus yg cangkung... dia cerita da kawan dia kena 'sifilis' - so not advisable for perempuan and lelaki jugalah.. i think

Lab papa said...

I second Hombi on duduk punya tandas, my mom tinggal di hospital for 1 week when my late fathers was hospitalized. After that she got gatal2 teruk. Thank god that she is ok now after when to a doctor. The doctor said probably she got that gatal2 thing from tandas QEH...my god, tandas hospital bah...macam bah ni

carolchs said...

ya betul tu hombi..kalu sa pi public toilet pun sa prefer cari tandas yg mencangkung. at least tida berapa in contact sama suma tu bakteria2 yg tida tentu2...

Hombidai said...

lab papa - alalala.. tandas hospital lagi tu kan... my goondess

chegu - tu lah yg bikin takut kalu bakteria/virus yg bahaya..
