KUANTAN: The use of smart toilets at the Teruntum Mini Zoo here is expected to reduce electricity and water costs as well as save on maintenance costs by 50% when they become operational next year.

Kuantan Municipal Council (MPK) president Datuk Hamdan Hussin said natural ventilation and lighting systems would also be adopted for the toilets while sensor technology would be used to turn on lights and fans.
