Malaysian Colleges May Could Bathroom Courses

Colleges in Malaysia may soon offer courses on how to keep public restrooms clean, the national news agency reports.

The effort is meant to help Malaysia's public restrooms become as hygienic as those in other countries, says a government official.

"Clean toilets cannot merely be judged by the eyes", Robert Lau says. "This matter also involves the use of cleaning equipment, soap, fragrances and proper tissues".

He says the courses would involve managing washrooms "by the highest standards in design and sanitation technology".

Malaysia's government recently said it wanted to start a "toilet revolution" in a country where public restrooms have long nauseated citizens and tourists.

Lau added his ministry plans to soon introduce a system for the public to send complaints about filthy toilets via cell phone text messages.
