Does Malaysia have the best public toilets in the world?

When you’re travelling, using the public toilet is inevitable. Although not all toilets are deplorable, there are some which are truly remarkable, such as the public toilets in Singapore, New Zealand and Almaty (in Kazakhstan).

I believe that the quality of a public toilet is equal to the living standards of a country. The toilets offer some insight as to how “refined” the locals are.
