Meet RAS first voluntary Restroom
Assessor
While most people will cringe
at the sight of dirty toilets and choose to use other cleaner toilets, the
Restroom Association of Singapore has been going round the island to conduct
assessments on toilets, making sure that they are clean for the public to
use. As influenced by Malcolm, I decided to spend some of my free time to
do my little bit for the community
Thus on 29th Mar, a
lazy Saturday afternoon, I found myself at Balestier Road,
attending the first volunteer workshop organized by the association. It is
the first time that I had been to their office. It comes across as a cozy little office and having met three of their full
time staff, I had this feeling that it is a close knit team as well.
At the workshop, there were 4
other like minded volunteers and we had the  pleasure of meeting Ms Tan
Puay Hoon, the current president of the association. During the workshop,
Malcolm and Puay Hoon shared with us how the assessments were done, the
newest technology in toilet cleaning as well as their encounters with
toilets from different parts of the world.
At the end of the workshop,
all of us went down to Whampoa
Drive to conduct a practical lesson on how to
inspect the toilets there. It was definitely an informative workshop which
opened my eyes to the world of toilets.
