PETALING JAYA: Nurfatiha Mohamed was always anxious when she rode the MRT, especially during peak hours when passengers would be standing shoulder to shoulder.

“There were so many stories of women being harassed in public transport that I felt uneasy and worried when I boarded the train,” said the 21-year-old who is pursuing a degree in education in Kajang, Selangor.
