How safe is Singapore?

Very safe. Very very safe. We literally leave our things on tables and chairs and we call it "choping" seats (reserving seats) because nobody is going to steal your things. You could leave a tissue packet or a whole laptop/ iPad and just disappear for several hours and when you come back your stuff is still there. There's no incentive to commit crime here lol

Singapore is safe in the right places, and my neighbourhood Yishun has always been a safe space for me to take walks even at night. I have never encountered any dangerous experiences throughout my life here.

Singapore is the safest country to visit in south east Asia. The crime rate is veryy low. It’s safe for solo female travellers. I’m living here as a single person so by far the safest. Singapore laws are very strict

Ideal city to travel in and live in. Men respect women here and safe to go out at night. I would say equality is highly practiced here. However low crime doesn’t mean no crime. Common sense needs to be practiced as Singapore has a lot of visitors and many of assaults cases are by foreigners

Singapore is very safe. Cctv is everywhere and people usually dont harrass each other. Even after midnight, can always use private hail vehicle. It is safe for female travellers. Conveniences and safety

Singapore is generally very safe. Locals tend to leave our belongings on tables in public and in dining places, and walk off to buy food. When we return, our belongings are usually still there! However, low crime doesn't mean no crime. It is good to be wary of your surroundings, although you need not be too upright about it. At night, walk in areas which are well-lit, and with people around.

With all the surveillance around the city, Singapore is incredibly safe from all forms of crimes. The country does not allow citizens to possess guns as well. Most seemingly private spaces do have a camera too (like lift lobbies) to provide safety

Singapore is a very safe place and great for solo female travelling. The locals might appear cold but they are helpful when asked and the government does an amazing job to ensure safety at all times of the day and night

Very safe country (: People use their valuables to reserve seats without worrying that things would go missing, you can see many people out and about even late into the night. Young children are also seen regularly commuting on their own.

Singapore, Solo travel
I always felt extremely safe while solo traveling in Singapore. I used their public transportation to get around most of the time, which was terrific and easy to navigate. I also used Grab a few times. The treetop walk was breathtaking, a must see! It’s a more expensive place than nearby countries, but the infrastructure was beautiful and I never once felt uneasy or unsafe. Food at hawker centers was delicious and very affordable. People generally mind their own business, but were kind and friendly if I had a question or needed help. I plan to go back!

Gardens by the bay is a must visit! Beautiful and special architecture and we saw free roaming lizards and monkeys in the palm of the world. Most of the food we had in Singapore are expensive and average. Malaysia has better and cheaper ones! Durian ice-cream in co-nut-ink was our favourite. Weather was unbearably hot and humid. I got heat rash when there
