  Actually Singapore crime rate is also very high,but i have read a source saying that some crimes(i forgot what types liao) in Singapore does not put into the list.The government purposely do that becoz they want the foreigners to think that Singapore is a "low crime rate country".Some ppl just like to cheat themselves in hopes that other ppl will believe them,what a fool!!!

  Skyline, i do not want to be rude, but are you so f ucking stupid you cannot see the problems with the statistics you just quoted?
  
  These statistics are next to useless because they document TOTAL crimes right?
  
  So logically, countries with higher populations will logically rank higher? yes? No? Answer is YES.
  
  And how is crime being defined here? Without a common definition of a crime, these statistics are pretty much useless.
  
  Lastly, can you at least provide your source? For all we know, you made up these figures (not that it matters though).

  It's better to let Skyline quote and not write that much because apart from his skewed views, his grammar sucks big time.

  you are right.
  
  even police also don;t want to record. just give warnings.
  
  especially with youths. thats why they get more daring. what can the police do. the most is just show VISA card (IC ) like paying bills.
  
  and be let off with warning everything. they can behave disorderly hundred times, and yet still no history. evry thing scan visa card (IC) show nothing.
  
  so they even use words like racsim against authority , not knowing that it mean nothing to outside public but a deterent for police to act on them.
  
  the seniors will teach monkey tricks to juniors to escape detection and commit petty crimes like shoplifting , stealing and breakin. to them ,take first and if caught , just say can return later. maybe someone will be so blur to beleive them. it s a theft and can be jail. or they will use age or school uniforms to make oters think, only the school can reprimand them and not outside public.
  
  so the crime list goes on and not recorded and only warning. one ear in and one ear out.

  Singapore's crime rate is getting higher and higher, no doubt, when casinos are in operations; more crimes are expected. Low crimes rate in Singapore??? How about comparing the size of area vs area as in other countries and numbers of police deployed in as in area. Hypocritic govrnment!!!
