SINGAPORE: A team of secondary school students have
adopted a neighbourhood coffee shop toilet as part of a project
initiated by the Public Hygiene Council to promote hygienic
practices in public restrooms.
For months, students from Dunman High School's Environment
Club have been regularly maintaining the cleanliness of toilets at
a coffee shop located along Tanjong Katong Road.
They have also created posters and tissue paper packet
designs, all for the purpose of raising awareness on the need for
cleaner public restrooms.
Their efforts seem to be paying off, as the coffee shop management
said that the posters, placed there since January, have helped
patrons to be more considerate.
Dunman High School student, Mah Looi Han, said: "The public toilets
in Singapore are not very clean, especially coffee shop toilets.
You see a lot of flies and water with a lot of mud and dirt. So we
feel it's very unhygienic, and we want to take up this project so
as to improve the quality of public toilets."
