Many of us know the struggle of using public transport during rush hour and in all honesty, it can sometimes be an issue depending on which mode of transport you use.
Lately, many of us Malaysians have been having the issue with the LRT. From breakdowns to even overcrowdings due to it being under maintenance and undergoing upgrade. This ongoing issue is said to hopefully be solved by Q3 of 2023 said transport minister Anthony Loke.

Men Spotted Sitting in Women’s KTM Coach
If there’s one issue we still can’t get over, it’s the fact that train lines such as the KTM have a women’s only coach and that men were spotted sitting in it. This coach was launched several years ago as an effort to give female commuters a safe space when using public transport. But even in 2022, we still see this issue going on and it’s something that ticks off many Malaysians.
The post was made in the Malaysian subreddit r/Malaysia as it featured three men who were spotted in the coach and casually sitting down. In the photo, we can see that it is clear that the coach is for women only as it’s written in a pink signboard with the logo of a men figure being crossed off next to it.
A second photo was later attached at the post showing a policewoman who made rounds on the KTM train. She had later chased out the men from the coach said the reddit user.
Post Became One Of The Top Voted Posts On Reddit
The post had gained 914 upvotes at the time of writing this article and many reddit users had shared their different opinions on the matter.
One of them pointed out that there had been a lack of enforcement hence why this issue keeps happening.
On the other hand, another user argued if the men did not noticer the sign and didn’t mean to sit in the women’s coach due to them looking at their phones the whole time.
Some users even shared their embarrassing stories due to them rushing for the train. Little that they or their friend realised that they are in the wrong coach.
