Liquid Soap Dispenser.

Sibu Municipal Council is now campaigning or encouraging all the eateries to provide Liquid Soap Dispensers for the convenience of their patron/customers. The Sibu Municipal Council might make it mandatory and will be including this facilities in the licensing Conditions of the eateries. Failure to comply might resulted in a penalty of a fine and a demerit point in the annual grading of the premises. Council is quite serious in this implementation.





1. Press release of the Use of the Soap dispensers in eateries by Sibu Municipal Council.


Sibu Toilet Council was also instructed to ensure that all Council Public Toilets or any toilets in the council buildings which public had the assess to be provided with liquid soap dispensers.(Leadership by example) Council had a total of 34 toilets' facilities located in Public libraries, Swimming pools, Markets, Bus terminal and in Community Parks/ gardens and Halls.

There are various type of Liquid /gel/foam Dispensers in the Market and some of them made of plastic, alloy & metal fitted with push button or mechanical device to dispense liquid , gel or foam soap .



3. One type of automatic soap foam dispenser.



4. This is the bottle of liquid hand wash containing alcohol based formulation for cleaning or sanitizing hands.

In the event of any outbreak of any contagious diseases , general public are advised to adhere to the strict personal hygiene and hand washing is one of the personal hygiene practices which is very important as this will minimise the spread of the disease. How to do a proper hand washing ? Many companies involved in the sanitary wares & services had their own sets of guidelines for the hand washing and the World Health Organization (WHO) do also have one.



5. World Health Organization: Hand scrub & Hand wash.

Our toilet cleaners were also told to make sure that all the public toilet's door knobs, press buttons of the urinals, flushing cistern as well as the faucets or taps are cleansed after each use by the public to prevent cross contamination. We are very lucky that most of our toilets were constructed with the concept of the "Open air" which will dry up very quickly and abundant "Sunlight" will kill germs too. Isn't that environmental friendly?
