Better Bathrooms

In the early days of Singapore, people do not have proper sanitation at all. As shown in the photograph below, night soil was the term people used to refer to human waste in early Singapore. Back then, buckets were used to collect and dispose of human waste. There were no flushing system at all. Human labour need to be employed. In the photograph below, you can see a man holding on to a bucket. He might be removing the bucket from the toilet for disposal.

Toilets in early Singapore was very unsightly also. I had not seen toilets of early Singapore time. But I had learned about this from the library. The photograph below shows a typical toilet in early Singapore.

Living conditions had improved so much over the decades. Today, there are no need for disposal of night soil and we have so much better toilets. Singapore's sanitation development was such a success now. Every household and every shopping complexes can have modern toilet facilities. Our living condition is so much cleaner and healthier as compared to last time. Back in the early days of Singapore, waste products were collected in buckets daily by manual labour. These buckets would then be transferred by special vehicles to disposal stations where the buckets were washed and reused again the next day!

Today, every families can have betterbathrooms and another 'playland' for children at home. During my younger days, I would 'swim' in the bath tub at our old house. During bath time, I would play in the bath tub. It was such a fun time to play with water. Take a look at Betterbathrooms.com and you can see all the modern toilet furniture and accessories. At my home now, we only have shower enclosures. We do not have any more bath tub. At the website, you can find different types of bath tubs -- some examples as shown below. I like the whirlpool baths!
