Asked to rate toilets on a scale of one to ten, users gave an average mark of 8.3 points compared to 6.8 in 1996, putting them in the "good category," Senior Minister of State for the Environment Sidek Saniff announced.

A score of 9.1-10 is deemed excellent, 8.1-9 good, and 6.1-8 points is satisfactory. Toilet cleaners scored eight points, up from 6.1 five years ago, Sidek said.

The minister added the government would "try our best to do even better" for cleaner public toilets but did not divulge how exactly he intended to take the drive for more pristine urinals forward.
