Toilets in Shopping Malls for Wheelchair Users

My favourite shopping malls now are, in order of preference:

  1. Singapore Changi Airport Terminals 2 and 3 (not been to Terminal 1)
  2. Changi City Point
  3. Nex
Reasons: 
  1. Clean wheelchair toilets at these malls.
  2. Availability of chair lift at Nex Shopping Mall makes it easy to move around with a wheelchair bound person.
  3. Savings of at least 7% GST for shopping at Changi Airport shops.

There is usually a security personnel stationed near this lift to ensure that the lift is not used by other users.

When I was at Plaza Singapura on Friday, 30 November, there are a lack of toilets for wheelchair users.  Then there is one which was equipped with a baby changing table and also a small urinal for very young boys.  I wonder what was the management of Plaza Singapura thinking when they installed these changing table and the urinal in the wheelchair toilets.  They should have created a parents room when Plaza Singapura had a major renovation!

Most times people become aware of the need of others when they are personally faced with the situation!! Sad but true!
