Singapore is NOT safe!!!

If you thought Singapore is a save place, think again.
My bycyle just got stolen. It was secured with a heavy lock, tied to a lantern!! in front of a shopping mall with lots of people milling about!!!
The place is within walking distance of 2 (TWO!!!) police stations (and that is not far, given the climate here and walking is not enjoyable)

And a quote from Mr. Police: "This happens here ALL the time!"
Good to know that my tax dollar is hard at work here and that fighting crime is a priority.
Not sure if I should be angrier at the thief or the police??

Lucky we are soon moving out of here (Singapore that is) to a place were at least no one pretends it is safe.
