A recent incident shared by a Threads user has sparked widespread attention and conversation online. A woman known as Farah (@cikfarahgodek2) took to the platform to describe an uncomfortable situation she encountered while riding the LRT, which quickly went viral.

In her post, Farah explained that she first noticed a Bangladeshi man sitting in the women-only coach. She approached him politely and asked him to move to the appropriate coach. The man immediately apologized and relocated without protest.

However, not long after, a Japanese man entered the same coach and displayed a completely different attitude. Despite Farah's attempts to explain that the coach was designated for women, the man allegedly refused to move.

Farah detailed how the situation escalated when the man pretended not to hear her repeated calls.

"'Excuse me sir, this is ladies coach.' Do you know what he did? He looked to his left as if he didn't want to hear what I was saying while mumbling 'no no no.' I swear it was funny because it was the first time I met a male Karen, Japanese version," she wrote in her post.

She further claimed that the man mocked the English she used during the confrontation.

"You know what else this Japanese guy said? 'Ahh talking English stupid.' He mocked me," she added.

Fortunately, the situation was addressed when auxiliary police intervened. Upon reaching the next station, the man was escorted to a regular coach. Farah noted that he appeared visibly shaken, as though he feared being detained by the authorities.

The post quickly gained traction, with many netizens commending Farah for standing her ground and addressing the issue promptly. Her actions have since sparked discussions around the importance of respecting public space rules and the need for awareness when using gender-designated areas on public transport.
