Flushing away stereotypes about public toilets


DO you dread visiting public toilets?

Malaysia doesn’t have the best reputation for its public toilets but Marissa Wong, 28, is undaunted in her quest to check these facilities.

The influencer and stand-up comedienne has made it her mission to review every public rest­room in the country to publicise the good, the bad and the ugly.

With nearly 150,000 followers on social media, Wong uses humour to bring attention to this important topic.

This week she joins StarMetro journalists Aida Ahmad and Farid Wahab on their third episode of Life and the City podcast this year, to share insights she has gained after reviewing more than 300 public toilets in Malaysia.

She recounts what inspired her to make such reviews and the key message she wishes to convey to the Malaysian public.

Together, they provide suggestions on how Malaysians can do better to upkeep these facilities.
