Under the invitation by one of our proud Happy Toilet owners, the JTC Corporation, RAS conducted four "Happy Toilet Awareness Talks" for its factory workers and toilet cleaners in April. The talks were both conducted in English and Mandarin to better cater for the target audience. The audience was given a detailed explanation on the consequences of dirty toilets and the dos' and don'ts of toilet etiquette. Participants were also encouraged to send their toilet-related feedback to RAS via email or SMS.
RAS conducted its first training workshop for voluntary restroom assessors on the 29th of March at its office. Apart from an introductory talk about RAS and its operations, our voluntary assessors were also briefed on our Happy Toilet Programme and the checklist for assessing the toilet standards. Our President was also present at the workshop to answer questions on toilet issues raised by them during the FAQ session.
After the session, our voluntary assessors embarked on a hands-on learning experience at the upgraded Whampoa Drive Market & Food Centre, which was completed last year. They were assigned to assess two toilet blocks. For some of our female volunteer assessors, assessing urinals in male toilets up close proved to be an unforgettable experience.
