Singapore's Happy Toilets, thanks to the
young
"When you pee
dont play a fool! may not be the best way to
greet your VIP, but that's what some 100 pre-schoolers did when
Singapore's Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan dropped by their
kindergarten at the launch of the Happy Toilet School Education
for Pre-schools (HTSEP) programme.
The idea may stink to some, but considering the number of health
risks on the rise, getting the young to learn good habits can't go
to waste.
The HTSEP programme includes the latest initiative, which is a "Loo
Rap" reminding children, "For clean and healthy, lovely loos, here
are some things you should do." There's also a Wash Your Hands to
Fight Nasty Germs jingle which teaches pre-schoolers the proper
way to wash their hands.
The agent of change is the Singapore's Restroom
Association(RAS).
Explaining the need for the programme, its President Ms Tan Puay
Hoon said "Besides instilling the right social values in these
young children,the HTSEP hopes to reduce the risk of communicable
diseases such as Hand,Foot & Mouth Disease (HFMD) and gastric
flu in the pre-school community.
