On 17th November, a total of 47 LOO Awards recipients were recognised for their commendable achievements including 6 Platinum STAR and 20 Gold STAR schools awarded under the STAR (Sustaining Toilets As Restrooms) Awards Programme. In her speech, Senior Minister of State for the Environment and Water Resources Dr Amy Khor said it was imperative to set higher standards and expressed her delight about RAS’ proactive collaboration with its partners, such as Adsec Global, Convergent Smart Technologies, Infinergy Systems, as well as Viso to promote smart toilet technologies. Prior to making her speech, Dr Khor had a firsthand experience of the smart technologies when she visited the display booths. In addition to the above RAS partners, Adkel Solutions and Universal Sovereign were also present to showcase their products to Dr Khor and visiting guests.

After touring the exhibition booths, Dr Khor also went on a tour of the decorated restrooms which was hosted by the students from CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP). Apart from clinching the highest accolade of the Platinum STAR award for achieving the Gold STAR in three consecutive years, a student of CHIJ OLQP, Ms Nandini Nair, also clinched the LOO Kidz award which was newly introduced to recognise primary school students demonstrating exceptional leadership and passion. The LOO Awards ended on a high note owing to the great hospitality and commitment of CHIJ OLQP and we wish to express our deepest appreciation to its Principal Mrs Tan and her staff for their support.
