  "account": "Nur Atiqah Norhaizad, a 28-year-old depot equipment technician at the Kelana Jaya LRT line, plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the railway system. As the only woman on her team of four at Rapid Rail's Subang Complex, Atiqah is responsible for maintaining all machinery and equipment used in train maintenance.\n\nHer duties include inspecting equipment daily and handling more complex repairs during scheduled shifts. With a background in mechanical engineering, Atiqah has learned to identify warning signs of potential issues, such as unusual noises or error codes. One of her most challenging tasks involves maintaining the underfloor wheel lathe, a machine with interconnected components that takes considerable time to repair.\n\nDespite working in a job that is often unseen by the public, Atiqah takes pride in her work and its impact on the daily service of the LRT. She has faced demanding situations, such as a 2am call-out to recover a derailed train, which she and her team successfully completed. Atiqah aspires to become a senior technician in the future, building on the technical knowledge and confidence she has gained at Rapid Rail.",
