You are a rightous and objective mindset person. It is good to make it known to public so that JB authority will heighten the awareness and improve the tourists and local safety. This is right! Dont be negativiy and claim Singaporeans are mocking Malaysia. Btw, Singaporeans are tourists too and spend tourist dollars in Malaysia. Is a win win situatiin. Many Malaysians come to Singapore to work, they are protected and happily earning Sing dollars. Is just a small token, JB should improve the safety for the local and tourists.

The locals are smart also, they target certain nationalities that would cause less sensation. There may be a lot of unreported crimes as well.

The window was shattered and everything inside was gone, including the things fixed into the car dashboard. Apparently they had tools to dig out or remove the music player, and screens etc. Even part of the seats were stolen. After that, we never went back there by car. Always take the bus in if we absolutely HAVE to go. If not, we don't even go into the country.

Elliot W. No!,Malaysian s are polyglots.The boss a Mal Chinese would know more than one Chinese dialect,English and Malay.Plus knowledge of some Thai is common.
To ascertain whether a place is dangerous (to common folks or tourists), look at the power balance between the police force and underground triads (aka gangsters). The safest place would be one where either the police force or the underground triads are comparatively much stronger than the other. The most dangerous place would be one where the police force are equally in 'power' to the underground triads or different _rival_ triads are equally in 'power' while police is weaker. The bottomline is who is the territory boss. If there is no clear cut boss controlling, there tends to be more dangerous. In Singapore, the police force is a lot stronger than all the underground triads combined, the police call the shot, that is why it is safe. In Malaysia, comparatively, the underground triads are stronger than the police force (some even say some members of the police force works for the underground triads). So in Malaysia, it is not so dangerous (in terms of petty crimes) in those underground triads' territories because those gangsters will not touch common folks or tourists so as to not attract authority's attention upon them. Those underground triads also have their own 'business' to operate in their territories and they will enforce 'order' by controlling those petty criminals/drug addicts who probably are more scared of the gangsters than the police (think of Yakuza equivalence). Just don't step on the tail of those underground triad members and most folks will be safe most of the time (unless you happen to be at the wrong place on the wrong time when there is territory fights on-going either between different triads and/or police). Talk to the local, if the local said it's ok, probably it's ok (just don't venture to those places where the locals seldom go themselves). If the local advise to stay alert, it probably is not so ok. Stay as necessary but leave the place at first opportunity.
