There's now a "transvestite toilet."</p> <p>The Kampang School in northeastern Thailand conducted a survey last term that showed more than 200 of the school's 2,600 students considered themselves transgender, said school director Sitisak Sumontha.</p> <p>So, when classes resumed in May, the school unveiled a unisex restroom designated by a human figure split in half _ part man in blue and part woman in red. Below it are the words "Transvestite Toilet."</p> <p>Three transgender students praised the new restroom as they plucked their eyebrows and applied face powder in front of the mirror outside the stalls.</p> <p>"I'm so happy about this," Vichai Sangsakul, a teenager with a pixie hairdo pulled back with a pink barrette, told Thailand's PBS news channel on Tuesday. "It looks bad going to female restrooms. What would other people think?"</p> <p>Most rural Thais are conservative in many ways, but the trailblazing toilet initiative at the school in northeastern Sisaket province reflects another aspect of Thai society: its tolerance of the country's very visible transgender community. The term describes a wide range of identities including cross-dressers, transvestites, transsexuals and those born with the physical characteristics of both sexes.</p> <p>"These students want to be able to go to the restroom in peace without fear of being watched, laughed at or groped," said school director Sitisak Sumontha.</p> <p>He said the concept reflected a growing need at Thai schools and universities.</p> <p>Kampang is not Thailand's first educational institution to set up unisex washrooms, though Sitisak said he believed it was a first for a secondary school. A 1,500-student technical college in the northern province of Chiang Mai set up a "Pink Lotus Bathroom" for its 15 transvestite students in 2003.</p> <p>Deputy Education Minister Boonlue Prasertsopar recently said the ministry plans to count the number of transgender university students.</p> <p>He said he was not promoting transgender interests, "but if there are a lot of them in a university and it's a problem, we may have to consider building toilets and dormitories for them."</p> <p>Transgenders are regularly seen on TV soap operas and throughout Bangkok, working at department store cosmetics counters, popular restaurants, in office jobs and in the capital's red-light districts. Thailand also has transgender beauty pageants.</p> Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:38:46 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321683:8183918 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321683 <p>there's a product from Calfarme which is named BioClean which you may like to try otherwise, engage the professionals if you don't wish to DIY..</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:40:44 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321538:8183360 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321538 <p>wah!!!</p> <p>your shit so big till clogged.</p> <p>you are the grandmaster, we are not worthy.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:44:18 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321538:8180700 maurizio13 http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321538 <p>for&nbsp;immediate result, use ur hand and dig.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:36:19 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321538:8180683 Cool-gal http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321538 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by seotiblizzard:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>Errrm, I dont think this shld be in AA bah.</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>im agonising here...</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:34:46 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321538:8180680 ~b1RD_m4N~ http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321538 <p>Errrm, I dont think this shld be in AA bah.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:29:36 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321538:8180667 seotiblizzard http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321538 <p>what do u do when ur toilet starts clogging?</p> <p>i heard theres a kind of chemical that you can pour in and it clears the clogging?</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:28:18 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:321538:8180665 ~b1RD_m4N~ http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/321538 <p>i think&nbsp; it's kinda lomantic <img src= "/images/emoticons/classic/icon_redface.gif" alt= "icon_redface.gif" /></p> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:45:19 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:315425:8180267 Bus777 http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/315425 <p>where?</p> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:32:41 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:315425:8180217 caleb_chiang http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/315425 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by Shotgun:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>Eh, if I don't get the pictures of the wrong...&nbsp; it was a twin-sharing toilet cubicle.&nbsp; Quite an interesting concept really... but why?&nbsp; Wouldn't people feel funny, closing the cubicle door with another dude, pissing together?</p> <p>Gh3y sht...</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Gone into a cubicle with 5 urinals at some restruant....the door can lock....erriee</p> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:22:46 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:315425:8180195 SBS n SMRT http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/315425 <p><strong><span>'Combat engineers' in the loo!</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=24788" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=24788</a></p> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:23:08 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:8137381 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <p>wah tis is the most super boliao topics.</p> <p>Anyways, toiletering is a spiritual art to me. It involves a series of rituals so precise that any error of the tiniest magnitude would anger the Gods and thus make the process a shitty one.</p> <p>First the altar(toilet bowl) must be cleansed. Proceed by wiping any remaining offerings(shit and urination) on the rim with tissues.</p> <p>When you’re sure the Gods are sufficiently pleased, line the rims with tissue papers. The reason for doing this is making sure that your arse do not vilify the altar by direct contact.</p> <p>Once the the table cloth is laid, do not embrace it with your arse just yet but offer some sacrifice of fresh tissues into the pit. Failing to do so would result in your arse chastised by the cold stale shit water that may arise from the sloshy process of laying your offerings.</p> <p>Now that the preparations are ready and the signs auspicious, gracefully embrace the altar with your soft round supple buttocks and await the final calling…</p> <p>Part two coming up… got work to do now…</p> Fri, 30 May 2008 15:32:38 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:8126180 newcomer http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <p><strong><span>STOMPer: Why is there no toilet in Toa Payoh interchange?</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=24454" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=24454</a></p> Fri, 30 May 2008 15:05:50 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:8126112 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <p>I don't mind..</p> Fri, 23 May 2008 09:37:21 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:318270:8106616 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/318270 <p>Anyone sure he wants to use a halal toilet, if there ever was one? <img src= "/images/emoticons/kde-3.5.8/ccmathteam.com/biggrin.png" alt= "biggrin.png" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class=""><span class="">Say before entering the toilet: <em>In the name of Allah, O Allah!

The precise mode of performing Istinjaa has also been defined by religious leaders: "At the beginning of Istinja, it is preferable to use toilet paper three times. If Istinjaa is being done on a hot day, then the person should start from the front to the back and then from the back to the front and the third time from the front to the back. If Istinjaa is being done on a cold day, then he should begin from the back to the front. After wiping, he should wash his hand first and then he should cleanse himself with two fingers and three fingers if necessary together with ‘pouring’ water. When using the two fingers, one should keep the middle finger in front and the ring and index finger behind it. After beginning with the fingers in this position, he should bring the ring finger forward and rub with the middle finger and ring finger. Thereafter, he will wipe with the index finger, if necessary. He should continue until all the impurity and smell is removed. The left over water after Istinjaa is paak only if there is no impurity in it." (Mufti Ebrahim Desai) And further: "To wash the orifice with water, even though no filth is stuck to it after relieving oneself, is desirable. If the filth is sticking to it (less than a Dirham or equal to it) then the use of water is 'Sunnah' (optional) and in the case the filth stuck to the orifice is more than a Dirham then its washing with the water is 'Fard'. (obligatory)" Islamic Academy</span><br /> <br /> <span class="">Other than toilet paper, water and the left hand Istinjaa can be performed with earth, grit, stones and worn-out cloths provided they are all clean. It is forbidden to perform Istinyaa with bone, any edible item, dry dung, baked brick, potsherd, coal, fodder, writing paper and anything which has even a small value.</span><br /> <strong><br /> <span class="">When leaving the toilet one should also say a prayer, <em>"Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."</em></span></strong></p> Wed, 21 May 2008 21:08:36 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:318270:8102815 googoomuck http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/318270 <p><strong><span>Fed-up toilet user writes note to smoker</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=21935" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=21935</a></p> Wed, 07 May 2008 18:42:31 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:8068670 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This could well&nbsp;be an ISD interogation room - where the observer is in one cubicle, and the detainee is being put through the ''water treatment'' in the other cubicle.</p> <p>Never doubt the brilliance of those ''Talented Few''.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:12:08 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:315425:8036734 Atobe http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/315425 <p>Eh, if I don't get the pictures of the wrong...&nbsp; it was a twin-sharing toilet cubicle.&nbsp; Quite an interesting concept really... but why?&nbsp; Wouldn't people feel funny, closing the cubicle door with another dude, pissing together?</p> <p>Gh3y sht...</p> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:22:23 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:315425:8036013 Shotgun http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/315425 <p><cite class="">Channel NewsAsia - <span>43 minutes ago</span></cite></p> <h1 class="">Catholic High Primary turns toilets into works of art</h1> <p>SINGAPORE : Catholic High Primary School has transformed its toilets into works of art, as part of Earth Day, which falls on April 22.</p> <p>Now known as ’Happy Toilets’, they are also meant to to inspire good washroom habits.</p> <p>The toilets now come in various themes, with some taking users on an underwater adventure or even to fairytale land.</p> <p>But the toilets are not just good to look at; they also serve to inform users of proper washroom habits.</p> <p>Teo Xue Heng, Primary 5 Student, Catholic High Primary, said, "There are also signs to tell people how they should wash their hands and flush the toilet after use. When people go into the toilet, sometimes the designs get them attracted as well. They see the posters at the same time, so they will take notice of them and practise (good washroom habits) in their daily lives."</p> <p>It took 10 boys to transform each of the four toilets, and they worked on this project for three months.</p> <p>That translates to three hours of painting after school each week.</p> <p>Xue Heng explained, "We had to sketch out a part. At one point, our sketch went missing, so we had to do it again. It was tiresome, but quite fun, because all of us actually cooperated to design this toilet."</p> <p>The teacher in charge, Eugenia Ong, elaborated, "The boys actually did the brainstorming in class during art lesson, and then they sketched out their designs on paper.</p> <p>"After that, the parents and the teachers helped by making the ideas more feasible, and creating the design on the cubicle doors itself. Then the boys came in; they stayed back after curriculum hours to do the general background and simple painting."</p> <p>Less than S$300 was spent on this project and the money came from a special fund under the National Environment Agency (NEA).</p> <p>The revamped toilets are part of the Happy Toilet School Education Programme, which was launched in 2005. And since then, about 220 schools have recreated their toilets.</p> <p>Tan Puay Hoon, President of the Restroom Association, said, "If you want to do something well, it is important for you to love the things. So you need to let the kids love the toilets. Once they love the toilets, they will know how to take care of the toilets."</p> <p>The Restroom Association has awarded Catholic High Primary the ’Gold Award’ for their ’Happy Toilets’.</p> <p>Ms Tan revealed that the Restroom Association has plans to widen the scale of the Happy Toilets School Education Programme.</p> <p>It will launch the nationwide ’Loo Campaign’, starting in June.</p> <p>The aim is for all toilets in Singapore to be cleaned up by 2010, in time for the Youth Olympic Games. — CNA/ms</p> Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:11:30 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:314860:8022236 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/314860 <p><strong><span>"What are these strange worms found in toilet?"</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17660" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17660</a></p> Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:45:21 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:8001832 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by QX179R:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p><strong><span>"Male staff wash ladies' toilet while I was inside!"</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17562" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17562</a></p> </div> </blockquote> <p><strong><span>Pioneer Mall: "Male staff warned against cleaning occupied Ladies'"</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17586" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17586</a></p> Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:23:26 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:7994333 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <p><strong><span>"Male staff wash ladies' toilet while I was inside!"</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17562" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17562</a></p> Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:52:31 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:7990853 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <p><strong><span>Inconsiderate toilet user clogs bowl with paper</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17220" rel= "nofollow">http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=17220</a></p> Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:54:02 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2100:308483:7974137 QX179R http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2100/topics/308483 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by aHGer^83:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>as the topic say..
