Summit Lifts Lid on the World of Toilets November 15, 2001 8:16 am EST SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The common toilet has many names, but it will be the lone topic at an international summit in Singapore next week. Some 200 delegates from as far afield as Finland, Britain, the United States, India, Japan and Taiwan will discuss design, ventilation, sanitation, incontinence and the future of a device that is still a luxury in many parts of the developing world. Highlights of the summit starting on Monday include a mime performance depicting desirable and undesirable toilet behavior and a tour of some of Singapore's finest facilities. "We'll bring them around to see the technical aspects," a spokeswoman for the organizer told Reuters on Thursday. "We do have quite a few delegates from China and they would like to check how best to build their toilets for the Olympics." Squeaky-clean Singapore will offer the visitors a gleaming example of sanitary etiquette with its fines for not flushing and sensors that send the water swirling when the job is done. And for those who can't wait for the latest in latrines, the summit will be complemented by the four-day Restroom Asia trade show starting on Tuesday at Singapore Expo.
