“I know that after the park was reopened, it was put under the management of a private company.

public toilets were in deplorable condition.

“When we went there to ease ourselves, we saw a notice that says ‘ Toilet at Food Bazaar’. We were instructed to go to the toilet at the far end of the park, which is about five to eight-minute walk away.”

Chin said the city council should not just leave it solely to the private company to do whatever it wanted or did not want to do.

The council should also check the place and see that the company was complying with the rules and regulation­s.
