But for local actress Maya Karin, there's no better way to head to an award ceremony than taking the train.

Going green

While celebrities would prefer to turn up to award shows in a chauffeur-driven car, the 'Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam' actress recently made her way to an environmental awards ceremony organised by the Federal Territories Ministry on a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train.

She shared her journey on the train by uploading a photo on her Instagram page:

Netizens who saw the post praised the actress for being down-to earth and for setting a good example.
