A “Public Toilets Taskforce” was formed by the ministry last year to identify lavatories that consistently fared poorly in cleanliness surveys.
The Happy Toilet Programme, run by Singapore’s Restroom Association, was launched in 2003, primarily to grade public toilets from a single star to a maximum six-star rating.
Under the new scheme, coffee shop operators can apply for government funding for up to 95 percent of toilet renovation costs, capped at $50,000.
Singapore has a global reputation for its cleanliness and it is often hard to find litter in public spaces.
Besides boosting tourism, the pristine image of the city-state and praise from foreign visitors became an important source of pride for citizens during the initial nation-building decades.
Failing to flush carries a maximum fine of Sg$150 ($110), with second-time offenders facing a Sg$500 fine.
More than 1,000 “enforcement actions”, including fines and warnings, were taken last year against premises owners and managers for not having clean toilets, the ministry said.
