Glad that Public Toilets in Sarawak are getting "greener" or "environmental" friendlier. Where? Miri had one, now (at Saberkas Area) and Sibu had "Open" Concept (at Sibu Gateway) including a few Public Toilets of these nature ..."Green " or "Environmental'" few years back. Whatever, "Green" or "Environmental" friendly or "Open" concept Public Toilets, these toilets use less lighting (during the day), more airy, dry up quickly due to high headroom, vast openings and Glass panel roofing.
Well, it would be more "Greener" or "Environmental" friendlier if Public Toilets could be installed with rain water harvesting devices. Sibu had a few schools toilets which had been recently built & installed with these extra facilities (rain harvesting devices plus open concept).

Certainly really good that the authority or authorities are trying to build toilets or better concept toilets for the public use but really sad to say that mindsets of most users had not been changed...vandalism, improper use of toilets are still rampant. Mind you, public toilets today is not like those of yesteryear's..badly built and dirty. Today, most of the local authorities are spending thousand of ringgits to build public toilets as well as to upgrade the toilets esp. the public toilets. and as well as providing fund to maintain them. What's do you say?
