Public toilets will be rated next year
LABUAN 29th Nov 2011: Public toilets including those in eateries and schools on the island will be rated beginning next year.
Speaking at the World Toilet Day held at the Botanical Garden, here yesterday, Labuan Corporation advisory council chairman Datuk Yunus Kusu said the rating system which will be based on the number of stars given would be determined by health inspectors.
“All toilets that are found in public areas including those in coffee shops and schools will have to remain clean to earn any rating,” he said.
He said the cleanliness of the toilet would also determine the cleanliness level of an eatery.
If the outlet is clean and the toilet is dirty, the operator will not be given good rating.
“For eateries, we don’t want them just to serve in a clean premise but the toilets must also be clean,” he said adding that the move was to improve the cleanliness level of the island.
Labuan Corporation wants visitors to have a lasting impression when they visited Labuan.
At the event, Yunus presented prizes to 10 winners for the best and cleanliness food outlets.
Mom’s Snow House restaurant won top honours followed by Nam Thong coffee shop and L9 Kopitiam.
Others who made the top 10 were restaurants consisting Fisherman’s Wharf, Mehfil, Blue Whale, New Sung Haw, Black Golf Cafe, Sri Malindo, and Blue Wave. The winners received cash and certificate of commendation.
Present was the director of local government and urban, Nolsiah Udin.
Hope that this will help improve the cleanliness of our public toilets.

BalasPadamTolonglah jaga kebersihan tandas. Entah macam mana ada juga yang pemihir tidak tahu guna tandas. Conteng2 pintu, tidak flush etc.. penjagaan kebersihan tandas seharusnya bermula dari rumah.
BalasPadamHow far this rating can give impact on the toilet cleanliness? Saw rating for restaurant cleanliness. Some of them got C and they still operating?
