A Message from the President

At RAS, we care very much for the health and environment of all generations and we are glad to know that there are many like-minded people like you who take pride in sharing this common responsibility. The past three months were an obvious reflection of it as it marked many firsts for RAS.

One of the highlights is the launch of the Happy Toilet School Education Programme for Preschools (HTSEP). Following the success of the Happy Toilet School Education Programme (for primary and secondary schools), the HTSEP was specially crafted to cater to these preschoolers are they are especially vulnerable to germs and viruses. Our pilot project with Gloryland Learning Centre and official programme launch with PCF Sembawang proved the HTSEP to be successful in inculcating our young ones with proper restroom education and we are very heartened by the efforts of all who have enabled this to happen.

We also conducted our first talk Restroom Education Talk to a tertiary institution- Macpherson ITE and an elderly care centre - My Centre @ Moulmein. With light-hearted contents to tackle the “toilet topic” in a tongue-in-cheek manner, both the young and old gradually warmed up and were soon participating actively in the talk.

Indeed, this has always been what RAS aims to achieve- to reach out to all Singaporeans regardless of their age as toilet is an issue that concerns all of us. With more people being concerned about local toilet issues, we can all work together towards our shared vision of having clean toilets for everyone!
