MELAKA: Local authorities have assured that public toilets at recreational parks throughout the state are safe for use.
Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) mayor Datuk Shadan Othman said the council’s technical team had inspected the Tun Fatimah Stadium in Bukit Serindit following a viral video that raised concerns over alleged immoral activities at the site.
“No cases have been reported so far, and we assure the public that it is safe to use.
“The restrooms were built more than 10 years ago with a design that emphasises natural ventilation and lighting, and there is an annual allocation for phased upgrading works.
“We are also looking into upgrade plans, including better night lighting, drainage improvements and enhanced toilet facilities to ensure the comfort and safety of visitors,” he said after an inspection with Duyong assemblyman Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem at the stadium yesterday, Bernama reported.
Mohd Noor Helmy said he took note of netizens’ concerns but assured that safety and facilities at the recreational park would continue to be improved, particularly for the comfort and security of female visitors, while ensuring no immoral activities take place there.
A 27-second video that went viral on TikTok sparked public concern, alleging that the restroom’s design could allow voyeurism, especially after several chairs were spotted behind the building.
