Professionally get a grounding strap. Or just touch any metalic surface. Our climate less electrical discharge.

Actually grounding not really necessary. Electroboom and Linus proven this with static gun already on various components.

If you will be constantly accessing any electronic devices, it is always a best practice to get yourself an Anti-Static Wrist Strap or Mat. Easily available in any shops in Jalan Pasar & doesn't cost much too.

If its just for 1 time, then grounding by touching any metal (unpainted) will do. But do expect a bit of shock when doing so.
