Kudos
to the proud owners of their Happy Toilets
20
more hawker centres have been certified (Nov 07-Jan 08) under
the Happy Toilet Program, bringing to date a total of 59 hawker
centres under this program. NEA has been one of RAS most supportive partners.
Four public
toilets in the Tanjong Pagar
Town Council area were featured in the Shin Min Daily News on 21 November.
The four toilets used to be notorious for their filthiness but after
extensive upgrading, two have been even awarded a three-star grading by
RAS. The Tanjong Pagar
Town Council has successfully shed their negative image to become one of
the areas with the highest numbers of Happy Toilets. To live up to their
name, the Town Council has also sent their cleaners for training and
invited RAS assessors to rate their toilets.
Apart from public areas, industrial and
construction sites have also earned their Happy Toilet certification.
Kajima Overseas Asia Pte Ltd is undertaking the construction of Cliveden @ Grange and four toilets in the site have
been certified Happy Toilets. The female toilet has also earned a 5-star
toilet plaque for its energy-saving and water-saving features. JTC
Corporation has also joined in the race with 13 of its factory toilets
awarded (Nov - Dec 07) the Happy Toilet status.
Kudos to the
proud finalists of MediaCorp’s Chinese Roving DV
competition
Both Mee Toh and Anderson
Primary School have
featured their Happy Toilets for the Roving DV competition. Among the five
finalists, Mee
Toh Primary School was the second to be shortlisted,
followed coincidentally by Anderson
Primary School as the
third finalist.
Over
the past year, 62 schools submitted 81 entries but only 33 of them were
aired on MediaCorp’s Channel 8 news. After a
series of tough competitions, only five were selected to compete in the
final.
Public voting ended on 16 January. 50% of
the results will depend on voting while the remaining will be judged by the
