Both...

I used to love Sg. Long but now I love BMC more. Sg. Long is boring...

Good relationship with your neighbours and guards (Give angpau occasionally). Give them your phone number.

Depends on the design of your house also wo. Some terrace houses have a timber swing door & a sliding glass door in front. Even you change the timber swing door to security door, the burglar can still break in through the sliding glass door, which is much easier.

For a standard house usually a crowbar enough to break in already. Even you change your main door to bank vault they can still go in through your windows ma. Unless you change all your doors and windows to bank vault. Then it will be safe. Haha.

I think for sliding doors just put a stick at the bottom track there should be good enough la. Some people also put steel/ wooden bar behind swing doors (like those ancient wooden door). Nothing is 100% but better than nothing lo.

I think the best way is to keep a low profile.

Renovation: Bulldoze your house, put 2-3 metal containers instead;
Car: Modify your BMW 3 Series into Volvo 240 look, use wheel clamp on every tires;
TV: Plaster your 40" LCD TV into the wall, left only the screen, cover with a sarung when not in use;
Handphone: Put your iPhone 5 into a DaiGorDai casing;
Tablet: Plaster your iPad it into the wall, left only the screen, cover with a sarung when not in use;
Desktop: Change your normal casing to Marble casing, put brackets to fix it on the floor;
Branded Clothes/ Bags: Sew your name on all your branded clothes, bags and etc.;
Jewellery: Don't keep any since you need to keep a low profile;
Cards: Don't use any credit & ATM cards, when you need cash use bank book to take from bank;
Wallet: Don't use any wallet, use a Supermarket plastic bag as a wallet.

After you've done all these you shouldn't be a target of any burglars anymore.

Ya. Espeically young people without supports from parents.
