Crime Prevention Tips:
Be aware of your surroundings, especially if you’re alone with a stranger in a crowded and confined area (e.g., public entertainment nightspots, elevators, MRT, buses, etc.) or in a crowded and constricted space (e.g., public entertainment nightspots, lifts, MRT, buses, etc.).
If you are alone and someone rushes into the lift at the last minute, it is safer to exit and take the next one.
