Here's a question:Who doesn't like cleanliness? To a healthy-minded person,definitely the answer would be nobody. I would say yes to cleanliness too,because that's our nature. We like something clean,neat,and tidy. Even in Islam,we are taught to take care of cleanliness all the time. Kebersihan itu sebahagian daripada iman. We stick to this teaching,no matter what.
Unfortunately (as usual),on the day me and my family returned back to KL from Tioman Island,we waited for our bus at Perhentian Bas Mersing. Half an hour before we board,I went to the public toilet with my cousin,and that was when I encountered such disturbing view.
Malaysians,regardless race and ethnicity,do not like to flush the toilet,as far as public toilets are concerned. No matter which R&R,shopping mall or bus station I visited,there will always that one toilet that's left without being flushed. From these pictures,you'll notice that not only the shits are there,the wall,the floor and even the mirror are dirty. And surprisingly,you have to pay $30 cents per entry. The next question would be:Do the workers even clean the toilets,or do they just accept the money without having to work at all?
This matter is really,really important,as it involves the hygiene of the people using public toilet. Mersing bus station is quite an important public place as most tourists from all over the world will stop here (if they travel by bus) to get to Tioman Island. Not only this reflect our image,it also might caouse outsiders to think twice before they enter any other public toilet in Malaysia.
