The Restroom Association (Singapore) or RAS thanks Mr Chan for his feedback. As an advocate of clean toilets, we believe the three key elements of clean toilets are good toilet design, quality maintenance by trained cleaners, and clean habits of responsible and considerate toilet users. We would be more than happy to work with the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) to ensure all visitors continue to enjoy its high-quality facilities.

RAS supports Singapore's bid to host the Youth Olympic Games and will roll out a nationwide campaign this year to emphasise and promote good toilet etiquette. We want to show the world we have clean public toilets everywhere. Since mid-2003, we have been working on the Happy Toilet Programme and have awarded quite a number of public toilets in hawker centres, coffee shops, petrol stations, parks, shopping centres, tourist attractions, hospitals, commercial buildings and even a construction site with a three-star grading or above.

RAS encourages all public toilet owners to upgrade their toilets to a three-star grading or above. They are welcome to e-mail info@toilet.org.sg to ask for a checklist. The public are also welcome to share their opinions and feedback on local public toilets via e-mail to mysay@toilet.org.sg or call 9770-LOOS (9770-5667).
