The Scene:
- An upscale shopping complex - I walk into the washroom of a 'Members Only' lounge - Blood - Not mine. 'Nuff said.
With this traumatic encounter, we hereby declare it open season and the formation of Malaysia's first-ever TOILET TROOPER CRUSADE. Ever stepped into a squeaky clean toilet on the highway, dry floors, nice wafting scent of lavendar... *breathes in* Ahhhhh.... That how you know you're a Malaysian in Singapore.
Is Malaysia ready to become a Glocal (Global+Local) player? Are we really a developed nation with underdeveloped hygiene? How far do we really believe that Cleanliness is Godliness?
This blog will be the venue for a year-long econometric research study into the economics of Being Toilet Trained in a Country suffering from Post-Latrine Tardiness.
All aspects will be assessed as we benchmark each month, one photo from a Malaysian toilet against another similar toilet from a developed country. At the end of 2011, we will compile a public poll to create the world's first ever... *drumrolll* GLOBAL POTTY INDEX.
How can YOU, the reader, get involved and revolt against unsanitary, unsavoury, smelly, dirty habits? Here's how:
1. Leave a comment on this post.
2. Share your nightmare or toilet encounters of the 3rd kind.
3. Vote at the end of year 2011 and have your say on where you think MALAYSIA stands on the list of being properly toilet trained. We'll open polls by way of announcement for a public ballot.
And if you think we're kidding... here's introducing our first posting - the World Toilet Organisation (www.worldtoilet.org) - a global NGO for improving global sanitation which is supported by the United Nations Environment Programme, Ashoka, and many other influential foundations, an indication of how important it is for First World health standards to exist before one can actually qualify to being considered... well... First World.
Support the cause by leaving a comment. And remember... it's a choice whether to Hit or Miss.

all of these shopping centre doesnt engage professional cleaners, they simple dont understand that it has to be clean all the time, they employ half baked so called cleaners.
i feel all these employees in management should be sacked for shaming their organisation. Imagine investing millions or billions in developments and the basic cleanliness is equal-ant to THIRD WORLD toilets...
The other aspect is the patrons, they are the cause. So, maybe there should be a national campaign on how to use toilet ke ke ke
