After launching “Happy Toilet” rankings similar to hotel star ratings and directing tourists to the cleanest commodes in Singapore, the city-state is now aiming to flush away yet another problem when nature calls: long lines at women’s toilets.

Singapore’s landmark, the Merlion and the Esplanade.
Singapore, a tidy Southeast Asian island nation of 4.2 million, also said it aims to share its “privilege of having good toilets” with the rest of Asia. The country rolled out guidelines designed by the National Environment Agency to reduce long lines at women’s toilets. In all new public toilets, the number of female cubicles will exceed the facilities for men.

Next time when you visit Singapore, do remember to check out if there are still long lines at the women’s toilets. Or rather there will be long lines at the men’s toilets because of the reduced number of toilets for men ![]()
