High-tech Toilets in Malaysia

Malaysia is implementing a clean toilet culture in advance of the 2007 tourist season.

According to a recent article in the New Zealand Herald, Malaysia is responding to tourist complaints about cleanliness and lack of necessities in public toilets by installing new high-tech toilets -- just in time for the 2007 tourism reason. Not only are the new toilets air-conditioned, but they also feature an automatic seat cleaner that scrubs and dries the bowl after every use.

So far, the capital city Kuala Lumpur plans to install 23 of these “super toilets” ahead of a tourism campaign expected to draw 20 million visitors next year.
