Compared to many countries, particularly our neighbours, Singapore is a relatively low crime country. Even compared to developed countries such as the US or the UK, assuming that we can consider them developed, Singapore is still relatively safe.
For example, in how many countries can a woman walk home alone late at night and not become a crime victim? How many gun related deaths are there in Singapore?
However, low crime, IMHO is not the same as no-crime as some Singaporeans would like to believe. Perhaps that somewhat explains why some Singaporeans are complacent with it comes to security and crime-prevention? Why bother? That's the garmen's problem, what.
Is a low-crime society giving Singaporeans a false sense of security resulting in complacency? What are your views?
