The Happy Toilet Programme

The Happy Toilet Programme, developed and implemented by Restroom Association
(Singapore) or RAS, is supported by the National Environment Agency (NEA). RAS
has been working with toilet owners in various sectors like Shopping Centres,
Industrial & Commercial Buildings, Parks, Hawker Centres, Tourist Attractions and
Petrol Stations.





This programme was launched by Mr Lim Swee Say, the former Minister for the
Environment on 1 July 2003.





It is a star-grading initiative for public toilets which focuses on five main areas -
Design, Cleanliness, Maintenance, Effectiveness and Satisfaction.








Users will also
leave the toilet happy, as the programme will ensure that they have the best
experience, with all their needs met.

Here are some of the pictures of the Happy Toilet Projects that the students have completed.











The cornerstone of the Happy Toilet Programme is a grading system, based on
minimum and progressive standards that start at 3 stars, to 4 stars and a maximum
of 5 stars.
