NST: Look out, the toilet patrol is coming. City Hall today launched a public toilet cleaning patrol to flush out owners of premises who do not give priority to hygiene.
And to prove it is serious, City Hall’s toilet patrol will clean up toilets belonging to recalcitrant owners and bill them for it.
The patrol, comprising seven officers and a supervisor, will check on toilets in places like restaurants and shopping complexes.
City Hall director-general Salleh Yusup said: "We have a city of international standard. So we should have toilets to reflect that status."
Salleh said this after launching the Federal Territory’s "World Toilet Day" function. World Toilet Day fell on Nov 19.
Premises with dirty toilets will be given notices to clean up. Repeat offenders will be charged.
Salleh said from January to October this year, owners of 33 toilets had their offences compounded while 513 were given warnings. A total of 546 owners were given notices by health inspectors to clean up.
The launch also saw premises receiving awards for having outstanding toilets. They included KL Sentral, KL Tower and the Wangsa Maju Projet petrol station.
