00:00Squat toilets may soon be a thing of the past in Taiwan.
00:04The Environment Ministry has announced plans to face the amount of public facilities.
00:09Government data shows that about 54% of public toilets,
00:13like those in parks, tourist areas and MRT stations, are seated,
00:17falling short of the Interior Ministry's recommended 60%.
00:21Studies also suggest squat toilets have 164% more bacteria than seated ones.
00:28The push to remove them is driven by hygiene concerns
00:31and the need to improve accessibility for Taiwan's aging population.
