Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 4: Hany Soh on keeping public toilets clean
With an ageing population and risks of disease outbreaks in the future, it is crucial to ensure that Singapore has clean public toilets, said MP Hany Soh. She asked how the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment plans to address this issue, what learning points were taken from past cleanliness campaigns and whether the authorities intend to step up monitoring and enforcement. She suggested possible reasons for the problem, ranging from poor design to shortfalls in maintenance and lack of graciousness or sense of ownership among users. Ms Soh spoke in Parliament on Monday (Mar 4).
