That was done by owner at least one year ago, if owner cleans my room using this approach, I do not need to do it myself.

Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

Did the owner use acid? Looks like physical damage, not acid damage.

Could it be the u-pipe from the sink found within the bathroom? Have you examined that part?

I have filled sink and toilet's tank with water to ensure that all u-pipe is filled to block sewage gas.

I doubt the connection between toilet and sewage pipe are not sealed well, but it is very very difficult for visual inspection, so that is the final part for owner to hire plumber to do the job (cost money $$$).

Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

I find out that the edge is not damage, which is the pattern on tides.

So you're going to the owner to fix the issue? I hope it doesn't cost you anything, this should be a landlord maintenance issue. I don't know how it is in Asia, but perhaps the washer drains into the same pipeline -- assuming your apartment has a washer system

There is some spray product to prevent water leaking by spraying it on the surface, which contains sodium organic acid, I would like to know on how it works and seals any surface.

Do you have any suggestions?

Looks like a sealant of some sort. We have a similar product in North America, but without the acid? Why it contain acid, not sure. See here:

Flex Seal works by using a rubberized liquid, which is sprayed onto the surface where the crack or leak exists. When it interacts with the air, it hardens like glue. Given that the bottle is pressurized, compressed air can keep rubber in liquid form.
