It was also announced by the Minister that another 2 categories of  Public Toilets awards was dropped due to unforeseen circumstances. Sibu Municipal Council's entry of the Conceptual Public Toilet at Sibu  Town Square Phase II was in the shortlisted of among the top 6 in the Local Authority Categories.Looking from the photos taken for the top 3 categories of the public toilets and we had indeed overlooked a few points.Better Luck next time!.The Ceremony of this awards was a very grand one and a lots of goodies or souvenirs to take back. A very good experience for STC.

Was equally surprised that there were exhibition of products & Services and Government Department and  a Seminar on the Environment Health was organized long side with this Launching of the Awards cos' I only had the invitation for this launching and heard that there was another official notification of this Seminar that came later. Anyway, since we are here, what's about joining the Seminar.The Seminar consisting of 5 sessions for 2 days  with about 14 papers were presented from experts ranging from toilets to environmental issues.The hall were full of participants from government departments and private sectors.

"Clean Toilet Seminar" in conjuction with World Toilet Day 19th November 2010

The 19th November is the World Toilet Day and this year (on this Day),Sibu Municipal Council/Sibu Toilet Council celebrated this day in a small scale,organizing "Clean Toilet Seminar " and as well as the  launching of Posters on the "Vandalism in Public Toilets"  &  "Care for the Next Users". There is a session of on-the-spot Cleaning of Toilet practical . Nearly missed this, there was also a small scale of exhibition of toiletries products by the Kimberly Clark agent. This round, most of the participants were from the Government Departments in this central region of the States, non governmental organizations, public toilets' operators from government & private sectors,  and some coffee shop operators. we are expecting the group from education department but unfortunately, it was the last day of the school term , guess, most probably,they were busy. The Guest of Honor is our Mayor, YB Chairman, Datuk Tiong Thai King.

The "Clean Toilet Seminar" consists of the introduction of Sibu Toilet Council, some Toilet facts, most important of all, the Cleaning process, care of Toilets and the practical session on the on the spot cleaning which included use of cleaning solutions in one of our public toilet at Sibu Town Square.

On the posters, we don't have our own posters until this launching and now, we had 9 posters on the public toilets and its educational messages.This is our first try!

The practical session of on-the-spot cleaning was conducted by one of the Sibu Cleaning Contract Specialist and he had been in Sibu for quite numbers of years doing the cleaning contracts with private as well as the government sectors. Use of cleaning solutions and personal cares were his topic for that day.

The feedback from the participants were that they were very eager to get hold of our soft copy of our talks and they said that they are going to do themselves. Well, our talks' modial was not created for this seminar but it's our observations & experiences gathered from various places and our own practices. It's for sharing.

 
Thanks also goes to the Feudal  Ministry of Local Government and Housing, KL  for the provision of funds and support from our state Ministry of  Environment and Public Health,Kuching for organizing this Seminar.
