Ladders newly installed at shower bath place
One day in June 2012, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited the construction site of the Rungna Water Park despite the sweltering weather.
He went round different places of the construction site that day to learn in detail about the project. Then he stopped at the shower bath place.
The place was designed to enable visitors to have the shower with the water pouring down from the facility in the shape of a mushroom cap in a fairy-tale story. It looked simple and blended in well with the environment and therefore officials were proud of it inwardly.
After looking into the shower bath for a while, Kim Jong Un suggested installing ladders or steps on the walls of the bath tanks so that people could easily go in and out of the facilities.
Upon hearing him, they looked at the shower bath tanks again. They realized that young and middle-aged men could go up onto them by stretching their arms with youthful vigour, but it was very difficult for old people, women and children to climb up.
After a while, he told them to install four ladders or stairways on the walls of the shower bath tanks.
Hence the ladders at the tanks.
Service facilities of serious concern
Early in February one year, General Secretary Kim Jong Un gave precious instructions related to major construction projects.
He then turned to the issue of further sprucing up service facilities for the people in Pyongyang.
Everyone will be pleased if such welfare service facilities as sauna are built splendidly in Pyongyang districts, he said.
He stressed the need to build pharmacies, laundries and barber shops in residential quarters.
It is good that different units are building e-libraries at present, but it is necessary to splendidly furnish libraries in the districts in Pyongyang for people borrow not only books but also videos, he added.
The issue of the service facilities, which he emphasized in detail lest the citizens in the capital city should have any slightest inconvenience in their life, was by no means a small matter.
