However, as a frequent user of some of the sports halls/complexes under the care of the Singapore Sports Council (SSC), I would like to highlight that the condition of basic facilities like toilets within our sports halls is hardly up to the standard required to host such an event.

Pay a visit to the men's toilet at Clementi and Delta sports halls and you will know what I mean.

For example, the floors of the men's toilet at Delta Sports Hall are always wet and there is a strong stench of urine.

At Clementi Sports Hall, the situation is no better.

The soap dispensers have not been working for weeks, and the toilet seats in the cubicles are often filthy with urine.

Is the SSC lacking funds to pay contractors to do basic cleaning of toilets? Or is this just a sign of poor management of facilities?
