KL public showers could make active lifestyles easier for working women, says Hannah Yeoh

Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh has stated that better public shower facilities in Kuala Lumpur could significantly improve the working lives of women in the city. The city is currently seeking new ideas for public toilets and shower spaces through an architectural design competition organized by Kuala Lumpur City Hall and the Malaysian Institute of Architects.

Yeoh emphasized that a more comfortable shower facility would help women freshen up before work, contributing to a healthier lifestyle. The competition, divided into two categories for a professional category and a student category, aims to generate innovative ideas for public facilities, considering factors such as functionality, user comfort, safety, sustainability, and maintenance requirements.

Yeoh highlighted the importance of involving both professionals and university students to contribute diverse ideas for the city's future development. The winning designs will serve as references for future public facility projects, subject to technical suitability, cost, operational, and maintenance requirements, and approval from relevant authorities.
