JB is not as bad as what many Singaporeans imagined it to be. I
go over often, and never been robbed (touch wood), maybe I am lucky
or I looked too poor to have anything to rob.
The big difference is the efficiency of the police in Singapore as
opposed to the police in JB...if commit a crime, police in
Singapore will be out in full force to catch culprit, and being
such a tiny dot of a country, and an island in that matter, not
easy for criminals to escape. As for the police in JB...they like
to look the other way. Moreover, a lot of violent crimes in JB were
committed by illegal immigrants, who have no immigration records
and once they escape back to their own country, they know they are
no way they are going to be caught. So we should be thankful to our
efficient police force and our vigilant custom and immigration that
prevent bad elements from coming into our country.
We do have violent crimes in Singapore too, mind you, murders,
rape, etc. Remember the porn-freak beast that raped and sodomised
the China girls? Or the serial rapist who even attacked and raped a
60 year old aunty?
