How safe is Singapore?
Singapore
very safe one of the safest countries ever. the laws are super strict and ppl are always scared of the government so no one breaks any rules. it’s sort of like a utopia in terms of safety really because this type of safety doesn’t exist anywhere else which can be a good and bad thing at the same time

One of the safest countries I’ve ever been to, touchwood. Walking outside at 2am feels perfectly normal. The last mrt runs at 12am and there’s nothing odd about being the last one on the train. Locals are friendly and usually mind their own business

I've been out all hours of the night for different reasons (once I was an overnight volunteer at an ultra marathon and walked a park for hours as I was bored waiting for runners to arrive at my checkpoint) and it's super safe, we're more worried about local ghosts at night at certain spots rather than in person crime

singapore is arguably one the safest countries in the world. having grown up here, i have never experienced violence or harassment. it’s so safe that parents allow their children on public transport alone to get to school etc. women are safe here too, the government at large takes harassment against women very seriously, with laws and legislation protecting us. sometimes when i’m going home alone relatively late at night, i do stay cautious because it never hurts to be prepared but i have never been bothered at night either. crime rates are extremely low, there is no pickpocketing to my knowledge. overall, one doesn’t need to be overly afraid for their safety in singapore, but it would still be wise to stay cautious regardless.

It is one of the safest country in the world. Public transportation is all around. A lot of cctv camera too. I always feel safe back home. And I love Singapore food . It is all good. Policies are also very serious in their job. You can safely say you are protected as long as you do not break any law.

Extremely safe, you can take public transport home after midnight, leave your belongings at your table while you order food (at your own risk). Generally extremely safe. Would recommend for female travelers, no issues at all. However, basic survival wits are advised.

Singapore was the most safest country I’ve ever been. It was very beautiful very well designed. If you eat in food centers, the food is very affordable much cheaper than Europe . Of course there are luxurious restaurants to.
