We want to be able to keep it nice and clean

Pesanggrahan Sub-district Vice Head, Putut Puji Linangkung said the communcal toilet is very good, as it is the government's commitment to eradicating environmental problems, especially those related to Open Defecation (BABS).

He urged residents to look after the facilities provided by the government. They were expected to help maintain cleanliness and care for the communal toilets.

"We want to be able to keep it nice and clean, as this is to create a good, healthy and beneficial environment for residents," he explained.
