why can’t all toilets come with water taps?!
Okay, I am a Malaysian right? A Chinese to boot. Having lived in Malaysia all my life, it goes without saying that I grew up in a link house with a squatting toilet that has a water tap equipped with a hose for easy water access. Water + toilet paper = clean and fulfilling. I don’t really need to spell things out right?
It took me some time to get used to a sit-down toilet. But I eventually did, because beggars can’t be choosers. Thankfully most of the sit-down toilets I’ve been to comes with a water tap, so that part was great. Awesome. Wonderful. Think cleanER.
So it really bugs me when I have to use a toilet that does not come with water taps within easy reach. This annoys the SHIT out of me ( pun intended ) and I usually wait and hold it until I could get to a toilet that has access to tap water that I could use. This is the reason why public toilets in Singapore are much cleaner than public toilets in Malaysia, BUT I DON’T CARE OMG I WANT MY WATER TAP!!!!
I can deal with the cubicle not having paper. It doesn’t matter because I can use my own tissue paper. But I can’t bring my own gallon of water everywhere I go!!
I wonder how you guys and girls deal with it …

omg, and i thought i was the only jakun one who cant live without her waters taps!
As a guy, usually tahan till balik rumah lo for the big jobs.
Then you life in Singapore might be hell, I guess.
When I was working there for three years, if I ever had to do “business”, I hate gambling my fate on whether the bloody loo had water taps.
A safe bet would be to look for those toilets for the disabled. Chances are, they will have taps in them… mind you I never used them!
My preferred method is to locate the nearest mosque. I’ve yet to find a mosque that doesn’t have loos with running water facilities. But I guess this would be kinda difficult for you to pull off.
i super cannot tahan the toilets in aus be they public toilets or indoor toilets, TAKDE WATER TAP!!! so usually i try to do my business at home because my landlady who’s malaysian built this whole house with specific orders and one of it was to have A BLOODY WATER TAP!!!!!!!! it seriously makes life so much easier. and MORE HYGIENIC.
Hey, how come you take issue only with SG?? Oz also no toilet-side tap, kan?
Wouldn’t it just be be great if we didn’t need to shit at all?
dilema in europe pun, as i m goin to stay here long. Had not been satisfying and fulfilling since i came here. I UNDERSTAND ur concern!I DO!
Hahahaha @ Mingsy! That’s a real good suggestion. The surgeons should really think of a way to ‘renovate’ / ” modify” our system so we don’t have to shit. Some internal recycling intestinal system maybe? That should be right up there after liposuction!
Like that, you might as well cross out America cos they also got no water tap in the toilets….
I use wet wipes wor.
Before toilet paper [or even tissue paper], people used to use sponges … and it was usually kept in a bucket of water NEXT to the toilet for all to use!!!
What tap you talking about? Most toilets in Aussie come with taps to wash your hands after use. Button to flush toilet. What other tap you need? Why you need a tap next to a toilet? You pee all over the floor? I’m confused!
the tap must also come with either
a) water scooper
b) hose
Because all water tap is pwned by Parliament house and the new court building : thus cause the leaking. Oh sh*t, I am talking some OSA thingy.
I use water too after pangsai. Luckily my office got water tap, if not I gonna suffer, LOL. If in shopping complexes, I’ll look 1 by 1 see which got water tap, if not I’ll look for another.
No tap, no shit. I’ll risk humiliating myself than to just-wipe-pull-pants-up.
use wet tissue or baby wipes lah…
Wet tissues.
Tissue first, the water, soap, water. Done.
I wonder how some people use water ONLY…eww.
actuarry most toilet in malaysia comes with tap…just as long as it’s not missing, the hose i meant.
would be funny trying to position our backside at the pipe, right? 
I prefer toilets with both water tap AND a properly cleaned pipe hanging properly.
Then I can spray cleanly and if no tissue I just dry carefully with the underwear. Muahahaa.
If no pipe, even with tap, it’s useless to me.
So I’ll rather just wipe clean with tissue and then be done.
No tissue and no water = DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!
(last resort, wipe with underwear and go underwearless the whole day, keep underwear properly and bring home to wash. kekekeke. This only happened once in my life when I was in primary school)
Oh, that’s so true! I need my water and a hose when i uses the toilet too! I can’t stand doing my business without access to water. I think it should be a basic requirement for ALL toilets.. to have a tap with hose! Or at least a tap with a baldi + gayung!!
Wonderful shitty story.
I thought Singapore have toilets with in-build spray nossles – no need for taps, hose etc.
Anyway whats the deal with sandpaper like toilet papers? It just kills ya. Easily the no.1 reason for piles in 50% of Singaporean. LOL
some toilets here have the tap and the pipe. some don’t. majority don’t. the squatting ones usually have but then again not always.
but check this fact out. most of my singapore born friends think it is DISGUSTING to use water. I know I know…. *sighs*
I find it disgusting to walk around knowing that I do not have a 100% shit free ass after a poop. But it took practice lah… 14 years of it. Thank goodness my company toilet got the tap and pipe.
Remember Boulevard Hotel? They did not have a tap beside the toilet. I told them that cannot do, especially in an accessible room. The first time they came to have a look, one guy brought a pail and a handheld bucket (what do you call those?) and told me the water outlet beside the toilet does not have water supply. LIAR! I went to see the duty manager twice regarding that. Two evenings later when I got back from the conference, they fixed a hose there. Well, they better because I have never used toilet paper all my life and the evening before I used one roll just to…. Yeah, I agree with you. Toilets should have taps and hose just for that purpose.
squatting toilet ftw!
wet tissues = not as satisfying
I need kepuasan tahap maksima!!!!
Only had a proper shat when I got back to Malaysia. ..
I am not sure abt ur gals and guys but 80% of the time, I find the end of the hose (for those toilets that do have hoses attached to their taps lah) IN the toilet bowl – be it the sit down toilets or the squat toilets.
Would u still use the hose?????
Those times like that, I’d just have to settle for just tissue or better yet, T.A.H.A.N till I get home!
If you can lean forward far enough, you can lick your own ass clean. HAhahahaha! But otherwise, avoid tap-less johns at all cost.
/me slaps thatjames around with a trout.
eleen: that’s disgusting also… if i can hold, i’d hold… if not, i’d use it but REALLY wash later
thatjames: WTF lolz
