Thumbs Up for Councillor Geeta

She must be the ONLY councillor who is actually doing a good job. She fully deserves to be praised and to receive the support from every Penang resident. However, Penang politics is in such a sad state of affairs that only those who talk are being given recognition and not those whom are actually doing their job.

Geeta .... take heart, your efforts are truly commendable, and I for one, salute you!

Public toilets in Penang ‘40% more cleaner’ now

CLEANLINESS and maintenance of public toilets in Penang have improved.

Penang municipal Councillor Geeta Suresh Chand said cleanliness of public toilets on the island had improved by 40%.

She said her visits to 36 public toilets on the island since March had helped in creating awareness among toilet operators on the importance of maintaining cleaner toilets.

“I have noticed that the municipal council has responded fast on my complaints by repairing broken sinks, toilet bowls or urinals within four to five days.

“They have also painted a few toilets to make them brighter. We want public toilets to be continuously maintained,” she said when asked for comments on cleanliness of public toilets.

In a related development, Geeta said the municipal council had accepted her recommendation to get public toilet operators use a new detergent for the maintenance of toilets.

The public toilet operator at Weld Quay ferry terminal had started using the new detergent, she said, adding that those who wanted details could call the council at 04-2633000.
