Talking about crime, my mom nearly got stabbed in Singapore by a robber who wanted her handbag a few years back .
Is there any point to it? Yes. Crime happens everywhere.

I am sure you must be kidding when you suggest that a single youtube video is good enough to tell the true picture of a country.

Recently I was shown an article written by an australian who visited singapore and he compared the freedom in both countries. And what he wrote was something like although Australian has so much political freedom, but australians have lost that everyday freedom to live without the fear of crime.

I'm very sure you know very well the chinese phrase of �怕一万 �怕万一。
Can you imagine if the chinese uncle in the first video is you?
Comparing between Singapore and Australia is analogous to the following:
You are in Russia and you claim that Columbia has a higher crime rate, so you won't move there. But, crime is still present in Russia. You are still potentially a target. Yes, the probablity is lower, but it is still there.

I remember you posting a picture of you flexing your muscle by the river. Looks like a promo picture to me. however I must admit that I cant be sure if it is to sell australia property or to sell some muscle enhancing drugs.

That means you can't think or have very poor knowledge. Simple as that.
Not to mention that your skills of discerning pictures are horrendously inadequate.

In HK, when they kena robbed, they would report to the police and blame on their own bad luck, and go to Wong Dai Xin to pray, kena again they would fly to the see the 4 faces Buddha in Thailand.
In Malaysia, when they kena robbed, they check what they did or what they didn't do to attract the attention of the robber. They blame on themselves and swear to be careful the next time. They will never report to the police, for they know it is useless.
In Singapore, when we kena robbed, we report to the police and blame the government for the non crime free environment, blame the police for not acting fast enough to take the robbers off the road, blame fellow singaporean for not coming to your help when we were robbed. We will never blame ourself, for it is never our fault.
In Australia, who do they blame?

I am referring to a picture of you standing next to a river holding a fishing rod and flexing your muscles. I think it is a picture taken from your garden or something.
