Yes! We are talking about Singapore!
Singapore is ranked number 2 after Japan world's safest cities. I'm so proud to be Singaporean and at the same time I'm grateful to be born and raised in one of the World's Safest Cities.
In actual, I fact feel safe going out alone and leaving my bag around without worrying it will 'disappear' into thin air without a trace. The last thing we want to do is to worry as soon as we step foot out of our comfort zone (our home). We want to have peace of mind while we out and about doing our shopping or running errands or work or other good fun stuff.
I won't say it's 100% crimeless but it is definitely the one of the lowest in the world. Imagine living in a country that is 100% crimeless. It will be really awesome right.
That's what happened in Singapore in 2016. According to Singapore Police Report it was 135 days without any crimes including snatch-theft, house break-ins and robbery.
Who doesn't want to have a peace of mind when out and about leaving their home. Gladly, Singapore government implement CCTV almost everywhere. Don't be thinking that no one's watching you when you are at the streets or standing at the traffic light cos there's always a hidden camera somewhere. It's a good thing to combat crime and it works!
Some people always do bad things for whatever reasons there is just because no one is watching. But as soon as they know that there's eyes on them or best their movements are being watched, they won't do anything that'll cause them trouble.
In some ways I do feel like a toddler having my 'parents' (CCTV) watching my movements 24/7. Well I can't blame the government for doing this. It is just to ensure the safety of everyone. I am living in this country and enjoying the safeness living in it.
Maybe there's other countries that's safe to live in just like Singapore and Japan but it's not listed. Just because it's not listed doesn't means that it's not safe at all right. Anything is possible.
May we all living in the safest environment packaged with peace way of living.
