Clean Toilets: A Requirement For F&B Licences?

The Ministry of Local Government Development is considering an ultimatum to F&B operators that do not maintain the cleanliness of their toilets. This will require restaurants to keep their toilets clean and get an ‘A’ rating before they can renew their business licences with the respective city councils. First, we hear from an eatery owner about their reactions to this. And then, we discuss our poor toilet habits, and what we need to help change that.
