How safe is Singapore?
Singapore
Singapore is incredibly safe especially during the day, but doesn’t mean the country is safe from predators. Be very careful when meeting with male individuals on sites such as Reddit because of creeps and predators. This is especially true if they know you’re vulnerable. Singapore is a small country and it’s easy to find out where you’re at based on what you share so don’t ever share too much. There are guys here who cyberstalk female individuals online to pin point their location. DO NOT ever meet with strangers at secluded area like hiking trails unless you know they’re trustworthy, this is for your safety especially since there isn’t much cctv in the trails. This is also true for cinemas because I’ve read of a woman being felt up by someone they just met during the film. If you suspect ANYTHING, slowly redraw yourself from the conversation.

Singapore is relatively safe for a women to be in. Perhaps not comfortable if you stand out, but safe. Going out at night is I would say safer than most countries, I’ve not had cases where I’ve ever been followed or stalked. Regardless do practice safety and make sure someone always knows where you are!

Singapore is one of the safest country for anyone to travel to regardless of gender. It's a very inclusive place to travel to. Singapore is well known for its greenery and its robust food culture. So do make sure to visit the hawker centres there and some naturistic spots like botanical gardens. 1 activity I don't see people recommend8ng would be island hopping. So there's alot of islands surrounding singapore like St John's island or pulau ubin that offers many activities like hiking, swimming or just interacting With the nature. So do check it out!!

Singapore is extremely safe even for female solo travellers, but just have basic safety precautions, such as not sharing personal info with strangers, one tip u can use google maps for everything and remember to read google reviews before u go somewhere. Also good to remember the local police number just in case and carry around a powerbank

Generally safe but as a local woman, I will tell you that there have been horrible cases swept under the rug. Our universities have a history of not even expelling known sexual predators (Google Monica Baey NUS). Police are known to victim blame and I have known women who were stalked and harassed with no consequences for the perpetrators. In general as a tourist you are probably not likely to encounter sexual harassment or assault, though... can't speak for nightclubs / secluded areas at night. Please still be cautious! There was a local woman who was r*ped by a foreign worker near a quiet MRT station at night.
