KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) Chairman, Councillor Tan Kai announced that toilet renovation works at the Sungai Maong (3rd Mile) Wet Market will begin on July 21 this year.
Asking hawkers not to worry about in availability of toilets, he said MPP has prepared a high-quality temporary toilet which is now open for use by the public and market hawkers.
He said the two-day trial period for the temporary facility will help ensure that it meets users’ needs before the permanent toilets are closed for renovation.
According to him, the upgrading of the existing toilets is expected to take about six months to complete. During this time, the temporary facility will remain in operation to reduce inconvenience to the public.
Tan Kai expressed his appreciation for the patience and cooperation of both market hawkers and visitors saying that this initiative is part of MPP’s ongoing efforts to improve public amenities and provide a cleaner, safer, and more comfortable environment for all.
