So apparently, the secret to world peace is sharing a toilet. Yesterday, the Terenganu state government announced that they will introduce … (drumroll please) … 1Toilet!!! In the school!!! Okay la, so the paper didn’t say 1Toilet will bring world peace, but they did say that it will “liberalise education”. Yes, very liberating indeed.
1Toilet is a very clever play of words, cunningly coined to reflect the magnificent 1Malaysia concept that we have all so lovingly embraced. So just as 1Malaysia means we’re all one in this country, 1Toilet means that we all also use the same toilet.
And the poor kids, teachers and even the principal (God bless his soul) of a school in Terengganu have the privilege of experiencing the transformative powers of 1Toilet firsthand. The chairman of the State Education, Higher Learning, Human Resource, Science and Technology Committee (SEHLHRSTC) believes that sharing a toilet will give teachers and students a feeling of “oneness”. When put that way, it sounds almost … kinky.
Sharing a toilet, the government claims, will give kids a sense of “belonging” and will “inspire them to excel further in their education” because students – after experiencing the joys of peeing down the same hole as their teachers – will believe that they are “on par with academicians” as such an act will “automatically invoke a sense of importance”.
I had no idea the mere act of sharing a toilet could result in such remarkable progress. I’m sure the government has conducted sufficient research to ensure the success of this ground-breaking concept. Oh no wait, they haven’t. They just implemented 1Toilet in some school in Hulu Terengganu a few days ago, so it’s too soon to tell. They’ve received “positive feedback from the school management” so far though. Uh huh. I wonder who the ‘school management’ is … probably the ones who don’t have to share the toilet.
The poor teachers. Just when you think they’d suffered enough.

1 DRY TOILET for some of us please! If they can separate the dry n wet toilet that would be a HUGE success story. My 4 yr old daughter refused to use the wet toilet during our last visit.
