SIBU (May 20): The Sibu Municipal Council (SMC)'s Public Health, Environment and Municipal Services Committee inspected public toilets at seven locations under Zone B yesterday.
Its standing committee deputy chairman Councillor Yiing Sy Huat noted some improvements were necessary for these facilities.
'For instance, the public toilet at Kutien Garden – the sink is broken and the window panes need to be cleaned.
'In Permai, the toilet's walkway area needs to be fenced up, and there is a crack in the urinal, which can pose dangers to users.
'As for the facility at Sibu Express Bus Terminal, the OKU toilet needs to be labelled and there is a crack on a door in the women's toilet, in addition to non-functioning exhaust fans,' he told reporters when met yesterday, stressing that improvements were also necessary for the toilets at Foochow Park, Rejang Park, Bandong, Bandong Food Court and near the Sibu Central Prison.

'Contractors need to adhere closely to the 'BMW' – 'Bersih', 'Menawan', 'Wangi' (Clean, Attractive, Fragrant) guidelines.
'Marks will be deducted for not toeing the line, leading to deduction in contract fees,' said Yiing. hygiene lead maintenance public toilets sibu municipal council
