English explanation


Explanation:
Possibly: bathing facilities.

To a native speaker this term is very awkward, but it seems to mean blocks in the sense of a group of rooms or buildings, like "cell block". Ablution normally means washing for religious reasons, but maybe it's mistakenly used here for normal bathing.

Explanation:
Benar seperti yang dikatakan Bryan. Jadi, dalam konteks ini saya mengusulkan istilah tersebut diterjemahkan 'tempat mencuci.'

'Mencuci' di sini bisa berarti 'mencuci pakaian' atau 'mensucikan diri (berwudhu)' tergantung konteksnya spesifiknya.

Sarana MCK


Explanation:
Referring to Bryan's and Hipyan's notes.

MCK = mandi cuci kakus or bathing/ablution, washing (clothes), and toilette.

"sarana MCK" is pretty common in Java.
