THE malls here have really great toilets.

Full Story

Most people have good tioilet habits but they are mostly inconsiderate when using public toilets.

"Not my toilet", "I paid for this", "There is a worker whom I indirectly pay to clean this up"

if the public has to pay 20 cents to use the toilet, then its fair to expect it to be of reasonable stds lah. but if use free, then don't complain so much.

not easy for the elderly to constantly clean up atfer inconsiderate users who love to splash water all over the place. if the toilet, but whatever means, is kept dry, then it'll be ez to mantain the toilet and there will be less irate users too.

let's not forget that these contract cleaners have to work within minimal resources and cost-they won the contract with the landlord with low-cost quaotation and cutting of corners.

How can we have clean toilets, when the mentality of some of our foreign talents is so low?

Please see the report "Now in cinemas; the slobs" on another thread on this DB. Further evidence that a lot of the ugly & inconsiderate behaviour often attributed to S'poreans, actually comes from ugly foreigners (western expats included) living in our midst.

The report stated: "An American couple, who declined to be named, said that a year of living in Singapore had cultivated in them the local habit of not clearing their own trash. With higher ticket prices now, they added, having someone pick up after them should be 'part of the service".

Going by their logic, if they have to pay 20 cents to use the toilet, they will leave a trail of filth for the cleaners to pick up, since their 20 cents should pay for the service!

I thought there were laws in Singapore with regard to not flushing. Once I had to use the loo at the old coffee shop in the Excelsior Hotel and I almost died when I walked in and found the bowl stuffed with used tp and not flushed. It was so disgusting that I went to my room and used the loo in there.

I thought Singaporeans were clean but there are pathetic slobs who would not wipe their arses unless their mothers were there to do so for them. Phooey!

I thought my students in Los Angeles were slobs but after my many experiences in Singaporean public loos, they are the reincarnation of Joseph Lister.

I don't have good experiences with public toilets in the neighboring Asian countries either, except in Japan.

Anything considered public facilities is subject to abuses.

If there are no GP and AP values in our people [young and old, intelligent and bums, rich and poor alike], we will continue to see the mess in public, some at homes, isn't it?

Do our MPs know how to keep their toilet bowls clean at home and at Parliament House? What do they do after their poo poo? Wipe?

Many forget smelly toilets and dustbins attract germs and flies to multiply. The more the stench, the more they love it and multiply.

Same for our body. If it is smelly inside full of pus [toxins], germs and virus multiply fast and kill the host, isn't it? Remember SARs? Even some doctors died when the germs multiply fast in the body. But some patients survived. Why? Less pus for the SAR germs to feed on?

When flies and germs enter a spotlessly clean dustbin, a home, a toilet, etc., what will they do? Do they stay on and multiply?

They leave quickly to the smelly places, isn't it? They go to the house next door, or the body next to you, isn't it? To the smelly ones.

Humans have to keep clean always. We bathe for that reason.

The world and nature were originally in good health, isn't it?

The smelly mess in the world and nature today brings about lots of sufferings, all kinds of germs, diseases, natural disasters, one after another, isn't it?

It is to restore the balance in this world and in nature back to its original purity, same for the human body, so we have flu, cold this and that.

Same for nature to undergo wind, snow, rain, heatwaves, etc, to clean it up.

The more we keep the world and nature clean [including the human body clean], there will be less need for the cleansing [like flu, cold and cough for humans, and like snowstorms, thunderstorms, tsunami, rain, heatwave, etc for nature].

Many call it the unevitable suffering of mankind. This is a grave fallacy.
Why?

Same for the body, if you keep the inside clean and less pus, you have less flu, fever, cold and cough, isn't it? Even if you are turned upside down, nothing will come out from you, isn't it? Can you hear a coin dropping from an empty cash box? Same principle for a body that has less pus, isn't it?

What is pus? How does it come into the human body? Ask the docs.

Do humans understand this, about the cleansing of the world and nature, about the cleansing of the human body to restore to its original healthy condition?

Few can understand this because their minds are locked and they are 'overly conditioned and brain-washed to a high degree that they are not able to easily put down [abandon] their old concepts and preconceived ideas and notions to agree and accept this [what I shared above].

Many continue to pollute and waste, many continue to contaminate their bodies, many continue to suffer endlessly. There is a Cause. There is an effect.

We are the Cause, isn't it?

Indviidually and collectively, we are the Cause of all the sufferings, the turmoils going on in this world endlessly.

We invite the cleansing of the world and nature and our individual body.

Some blame it on the next person. It is indeed pathetic. What a grave fallacy led by intelligent man influencing so many [brain washing the hoi polli] up to this day!

That is the one thing that irks me most when I visit Singapore. When I'm visiting, I usually take a bunch of seat covers off the airline toilet and keep them in my purse! Toilet seat covers are provided free at most public toilets here in the USA, and I believe that goes a long way to help keep things cleaner. Why don't they try that there...especially at the more upscale locations. Perhaps they could also post messages on the bathroom doors by asking people to be more considerate. To deal with the smokers...how about just installing some smoke detectors and heavy fines for smoking...that should do the trick, don't you think?

Very bad and filthy habits.Don't blame Singaporeans. The majority are foreigners here littering and shitting around the whole place. Boh chap attitude.The toilets are a reflection of their bad, filthy and irresponsible attitudes.

Go to Japan and learn form the very civic-conscious Japanese. Even the Chinese are improving very quickly.

I don't understand why Singaporean toilets are still so filthy and so messy even in 5 star hotels!!! Yuks!!!
