I have been saying this.
Singapore is safe on the surface, but in reality we enable the crimes due to our love for foreigners and money regardless of their source.
We enable the crime, export the violence to be assembled in other countries.
We then let all the criminals hog assets in Singapore to drive up COL, but govt doesn't care as long as tax is paid. Criminals then try to pass off as legitimate businessmen by mingling and being seen with the right people.
But majority of Singaporeans don't care as long as their property have paper gains
