Councils to get guidelines on operating public toilets

Thursday, 24 November 2011 11:50

MALACCA: Guildelines will be introduced by the end of the year for all local councils on operating and maintaining public toilets.

Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung said the guidelines would be handy to operators of 859 public toilets, which were previously under the care of the local councils.

“We are in the midst of listing out the criteria that should be observed by all local councils.

“It is expected to be ready by year end,’’ he told reporters after launching the World Toilet Day programme in Ayer Keroh here yesterday.

He said the ministry had audited 554 public toilets and found that more than half of them were far below expectations.

“Fifty-one per cent of public toilets operated by the councils have been rated two-star and below, which is extremely unsatisfactory. This is not good,’’ he said.

Out of the 554 public toilets, he said 139 (25%) were rated one-star, 144 (26%) two-star, 142 (25.5%) three-star, 87 (16%) four-star and 42 (7.5%) five-star.

Chor said the Government had allocated RM2.5mil to help local councils maintain the public facility this year.

“This clearly shows that we are serious about the cleanliness and hygiene level of our public toilets in the country,’’ he said.

Earlier in his speech, he said the local councils were doing their part to keep public toilets clean but users also had to be responsible and have the right attitude to maintain cleanliness.
