More squat toilets installed in public restrooms

I can't help noticing that public restrooms like shopping complexes, MRT stations and government hospitals are installing more and more squat toilets at the expense of western seat toilets. We are promoting ourselves as an advanced country but anyone who has been to the west can tell you that squat toilets there belong to the era of hole-in-the-ground toilets.

The reason for the retention of squat toilets in Singapore is obvious. The government is welcoming more foreign trash from India, China and Philippines and these people are still in the dark ages as far as toilet usage is concerned. Therefore, to make these people feel comfortable, western seat toilets are sacrificed in favour of the backward squat toilet.

Ah! And one statesman had talked about Swiss standard of living!!

Actually I have to say, I am a big proponent of the squat toilet. The "asian squat" dramatically improves the flexibility of your calves, hamstrings, glutes and lower back.

I wish the toilets in my home are squat toilets. Let me send you a few links about the Asian Squat and the health benefits.

You are right and squatting is the natural way to defecate. We were so used to sitting and I suffer from pins and needles because I always need to read while doing it. :biggrin:

But in the public toilets only when it is urgent then will I use the toilet to do my business, and I don't dare sit unless it is a hotel or club. The public loo is so yucky.

The reason is that the squat toilets are cheaper to produce and install. Don't read too much into it.

Also I notice some joker like to squat on the stupid toilet seat. A lot of toilet seats have shoe prints on them. KNN

Start worrying when they stop supplying toilet paper and you need to pay 20 cents for a small pail of water with no soap. Much worse if the cubicles are only separated between each other by a hessian cloth curtain.

Then we know for sure FT's are more important.

You think like that when you are not already old and weak. There should be a mix.
