Public Toilet at Sibu Town Square Phase II
The location of this toilet is in the areas of the Sibu Town Square Phase II .The building of this public toilet was formerly one of the blocks of the Old Lau King Howe hospital which gave way for the development of the Sibu Town Square Phase II. This Toilet is formed part of the Old Lau King Howe Hospital's Medical Museum's Court Yard. This toilet was built or rather could be said renovated in the Year 2006 and was designed by a local well known architect.
The renovation and construction expenses of this toilet were from Sibu Lau’s Association (NGO) and Sibu Municipal Council. The Supervision of this toilet is under the Sibu Municipal Council’s Landscaping Section & Sibu Toilet Council (STC) and was placed under the maintenance and cleaning by the Landscape Contractor. All the toilet entry collections go to the Cleaning Contractor.
Since the toilet is located in the recreation areas of the Town Square, most of the users of this toilet are visitors as well as the people coming for morning & afternoon walks/exercises.
The most notable features of this toilet are the open concept where more ventilation openings were created through out the toilet buildings and with less partition. Hand cleaning facilities was installed separated from the main toilet areas. The Ladies’ section of the toilet is also installed with low urinal trough especially for the kids (boys) who come with their mothers. A Toilet for Handicap (OKU) is also provided. Another notable feature is the communal urinal’s wall for the male which was constructed with high density glass and is self cleaning with the controlled & continuous flowing of water on the glass wall. This Toilet can be said to be the most users' friendly toilet in Sibu.
