This campaign goes beyond conventional measures and involves the installation of manual bidet seats in the school toilets to contribute towards improving their cleanliness and hygiene. "Panasonic Rakan Bersih Ceria" campaign also aligns with our government’s call to provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment for both students and teachers through the upgrade and maintenance of facilities in schools.

“We are very excited to launch this campaign with the Ministry of Education’s support to foster healthier and more hygienic habits among school children. Panasonic’s identity is rooted in Japanese culture. One of them is an emphasis on practicing cleanliness, which promotes better hygiene, reduces the spread of illnesses as well as improves overall health and well-being. More essentially, by instilling good hygiene standards early on, we empower children to take responsibility for their own hygiene and contribute towards maintaining a cleaner and healthier space for themselves and others,” said Keisuke Nishida, Managing Director of Panasonic Malaysia.

The campaign involved 25 participating primary schools across the Klang Valley. With good hygiene standards serving as the foundation of toilet cleanliness, and a healthier and more sanitary environment for all, Panasonic conducted informative and engaging workshops educating students the importance of hygiene education and good restroom practices. 

The workshops are also designed to have exciting activities to ensure students are well-prepared for life beyond the textbook and naturally lead them toward embracing a hygienic lifestyle.
