Petty crimes:Low
Taiping, despite being one of the leading towns in Malaysia, has relatively low reported incidents of petty crimes. However, it's always crucial to keep a keen awareness of your environment, ensuring your belongings are secure at all times. While walking in crowded areas, take care to protect your valuables as pickpocketing can occasionally occur. Daylight snatch thievery may happen but is not common due to the constant police presence. Proactive vigilance should suffice in most cases.
