Malaysia isn’t known for her clean public toilets. However, there has been much improvement in recent years. This is probably a pretty average looking public toilet. In the left cubicle, unlike its distant Japanese cousin, the “hole in the ground” does not come with a “missile defence shield”. The washlet comes in the form of a rubber hose attached to a tap in the wall. I don’t recommend using the hose. Washlet ok. Hose no. Like Taro Aso once said on eigo de syabera naito, “it isn’t nice getting sick from the ass”.
I get pissed whenever I have to use a shitty toilet. ^^. My body feels the same way too. One step into dirty toilets and all urges are gone; it’s like nature just hung up on me. You too?
It’s been a while since I last used one of these urinals. Do you suppose these still exist in Japan? I don’t remember ever using one in Tokyo.

Now that i think about it, i don’t remember using a urinal in japan! Why bother when you can use a toilet with many buttons! Never used the hole in the ground toilets and don’t intend to use one.

hey isn’t it weird to take a picture in a public toilet? well unless there are nobody inside at that time.
the wall urinal is common in primary and secondary schools over here. not sure has it changed since i graduated so long ago.
i try not to do my big business outside, unless i can find a clean one. usually shopping malls, tourist attractions and some train stations are alright.

haha, this is probably one of the cleaner public toilets. I’ve just visited Malaysia a few times recently. A very important trick about using Malaysia public toilet is to grab some toilet paper before queuing up for toilets. Once I’m urgent and there is a damn long queue for toilet. I patiently waited for my turn. And, when I was about to enter the cubicle, I realized the supplied toilet paper is suitated outside the cubicles and far away… I left the queue to grab some toilet paper. AND, I have to queue up again. baga! maybe such situation don’t happen in male toilet.

sumimasen mr. k-san..im a malaysian n i dont deny about the usual scenario of malaysian toilet, and indeed im currently doing a research regarding public toilet cleanliness around KL…i myself dont expect much with the public toilet services anywhere here unless it is located at a highly reputable place (i.e the pavilion, tangs, etc.). those panelling urinal type is a common in schools and older building. but since there are concerns on ‘business privacy’, designers are no longer install such panelling in their buildings. and about the hose thing, it is once again a common practice of malaysian where water is much more important than toilet rolls due to religious aspect. tissues and rolls are only to ensure body parts are clean after every wash. and, u know what, anything practice here (including designs, installation of toilets fittings, etc. ) is usually regarding religious concern…
