Was in KL over the weekend for a short getaway, and just when I thought there would be nothing too interesting to note in another city area just several kilometers away, I found something.

Behold, the entrance to ground level toilets in Suria KLCC (the mall adjacent to Petronas Twin Towers) costs RM2! Although my initial thoughts were 'are you nuts?', I just wanted to see what kind of washroom charges almost $1 per entry.

You pay, and will be given this wet tissue and an 'admission ticket'. I'm actually still rather curious about the point of the ticket. Well anyhows it's not especially roomy. An attendant greets you upon entry. The urinals and WCs had automated flush systems (it should be noted that less than half of the loos I visited there were manual ones, so that's something to shout about). The sink area had 2 big scented candles, body mist and body lotion from Body Shop and automatic sensor equipped taps that requires you to go near the sensor both for beginning and ending of operation, which is unlike the ones in Singapore that runs as long as your hands within range of the sensor.

Cool thing, but a little more opulence in the decor will reflect the price better. Anyway it's a fantastic move. Every new visitor to the mall will be curious to visit a toilet that costs RM2 per entry just to check it out.
