2007 was an eventful year for the RAS with the growing popularity of our Happy Toilet School Education Programme for preschoolers, primary and secondary students. Not lagging behind, our Happy Toilet Programme also made a breakthrough with the awarding of the first happy toilet at a construction site and restaurant. It is indeed heartening to see more toilet owners taking toilet hygiene seriously.
