: Foreign tourists have been urged to read up on and understand Malaysian culture and way of life before landing in the country to avoid culture shocks.
“Different countries have varying practices of how they use the toilet, and Malaysian cultural norms and practices differ from those of Western countries. While tourists are entitled to share their experiences, they need to understand the cultural differences and requirements. “Asian toilets tend to be damp as we use handheld bidets for washing. The region’s high humidity levels could also cause unpleasant odours if there is no proper ventilation.
In February, the Federal Territories Department was allocated RM20 million from the Housing and Local Government Ministry to upgrade public toilets managed by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, Putrajaya Corporation and Labuan Corporation. “Many Malaysians do not think of public toilets as a shared responsibility, mainly because they have not been properly educated on how to keep them clean. Existing awareness campaigns do not seem to make a lasting impact.”
He said Malaysians are known for valuing cleanliness, so it is essential for local authorities to maintain public facilities for everyone’s comfort.
