Unfinished Business: Toilets at Hawker Centres, Coffee Shops Still Too Dirty

According to World Health Organisation figures, Singapore is one of four countries in the world where 100 per cent of the population can have access to safely managed sanitation facilities.

Despite our remarkable success in universal sanitation, a gap exists in the standards of toilets in certain public spaces – hawker centres and coffee shops. As vital community hubs and popular eating spots, maintaining high standards of cleanliness in these establishments is crucial for public health and the overall image of Singapore’s sanitation achievements.

As we commemorate World Toilet Day, hear from Visiting Professor Alec Morton as he shares his expert opinion on this issue.
