The Local Government Development Ministry recently hosted the "Toilet of the Year” awards as part of efforts to tackle dirty public toilets in the country. Minister Nga Kor Ming explained that the award would improve the country’s public toilets to what he dubbed “BMW-grade” which are: Bersih, Menawan and Wangi. We talk about what makes a public restroom first-class, and flush out best - and worst - public toilet stories from our listeners.
