Since everyone has seen or used petrol station toilets before, many wondered what made BHPetrol Ladang Bikam stand out.
Fortunately, the petrol station made a video tour of its facilities on its official TikTok account and they clearly did not come to play.

The public toilets were not only clean but an effort was made to decorate the whole place. As the video pans, you can see potted plants, well-maintained benches, and a decorative English red telephone box to give a tranquil and welcoming vibe. It’s like using a beautiful public restroom in a botanical garden and not a petrol station.
If you look up at the entrance corridor, a small chandelier and beautiful lamps are lighting the way.
Many people in the comments said they now understand why the petrol station was one of the several locations that won the award for being one of the best toilets in the country.
Some were surprised to see a chandelier lighting the entrance to the public toilets. They also wanted to see the insides of the toilets, especially to see if bidets were provided.
However, it’s hard to please everyone because a netizen found the decoration out of place, citing the telephone box’s out-of-place presence and the benches’ strange placement.
CHANDELIER?!!! Wow

Ok I’ll be the only honest one here this look so mid 😭 Chandelier and telebox are so out of place and practicality-wise, benches right in front of the toilet isn’t very smart. Macam deco mix and match je
