00:00Mari kita berat bersama Marissa Wong. Hari ini kita ada kat F&T punya tanggungan, punya tandas.
00:10Content creator Marissa Wong has been taking the internet by storm with her honest and humorous reviews of Malaysia's public toilets.
00:19Titled Berat Bersama Marissa Wong, she has amassed close to 150,000 followers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
00:29F&T Lifestyle recently sat down with Wong, although not in a toilet, to learn more about her crappy endeavour.
00:38To date, Wong has reviewed close to 300 toilets, which is quite an unenviable feat.
00:45So this year, I decided to do a simpler version where I just voiceover but speaking in Malay because I want to target Malaysians,
00:54not people from overseas because they can't relate to us having a bidet in the toilet, they can't relate to us having wet toilets.
01:01So that's when I started this Mari Kita Berat Bersama Marissa.
01:06And I wanted to make it not so sensitive, that's why the words I use in there, I try to make it as funny as possible,
01:13try to add some comedic elements in it to make viewers get more comfortable with my videos.
01:22More than mere potty talk, Wong hopes her videos will compel Malaysians to appreciate public toilets.
01:29I learned that actually most of our public toilets are very much destroyed by us.
01:36So for example, the pipe bursting, water running, wet toilets are all done by Malaysians themselves.
01:45Just because we don't do that in our house.
01:48So a lot of people tend to actually destroy the public toilet or use it without caring about the next user.
01:55So I feel like something like this needs to be addressed now.
01:59And of course, premises owners as well, a lot of them just abandon the hygiene of their toilet when they are doing very well selling their food, for example.
02:10While her journey isn't always sweet smelling, there have been funny moments that put a smile on her face.
02:17But the funniest thing is probably a kid telling me like, I know you, you're the Berat girl, you can swim in the toilet.
02:24So yeah, I get that a lot in the toilet as well.
02:27Or like restaurants, when I dine there, I can see the restaurant owners are like, all the staff just rush to the toilet and clean.
02:34And then they come to me and they say like, you can visit our toilets, it's really clean.
02:38And I'm like, okay, thank you.
02:41She also wants to inspire the younger generation to voice out issues in a humorous and effective way.
02:48People haven't revealed roads yet.
02:50People haven't revealed MRTs.
02:52So imagine if the younger generation starts to reveal potholes, the government is going to do something.
02:59Or the landowner is going to do something about it.
03:01Or start removing bumps.
03:03And no, Wong didn't let FMT get away easily.
03:07She also reviewed a shared restroom where the FMT office is located.
03:12So how did it fare?
03:38It's a bit like a sauna.
03:40Because the boss here doesn't want his staff to play with their phones in the toilet.
03:47So he gave them the Berat girl.
03:50Here, the toilet is really new.
03:56The maintenance must have changed a bit.
03:59It's yellow now.
04:00This toilet has no head, but it's okay.
04:03It can be used.
04:04I don't know who owns this.
04:08Now let's go to the squat area.
04:13I don't know who doesn't have a flush.
04:15Who doesn't have a hot flush?
04:18There are a lot of gold coins.
04:21I'll give you a discount later.
04:25There's also a garbage bin here.
04:28There's no garbage bin.
04:29But this garbage bin is not closed.
04:31So all the garbage is thrown away.
04:35So I think this garbage bin must be changed a bit.
04:38Let's close it a bit.
04:40The water is okay.
04:42But when you want to use the soap, you have to walk.
04:45Look, if you want to use the soap, you have to walk.
