A lot of times, when you see news like gangster gaduh, people getting shot (basically targeted assassinations') , those bike muggers and etc, then everyone come and say Malaysia not safe lar, that lar, or whatever.

My own 2 cents after travelling extensively in my 24 year career, Malaysia is a safe enough country, public safety is not comparable to Japan or Singapore or China, but we are much better than the rest of our Asean neighbours and also of course we are much better than places like UK, States, lotsa country from Europe. We are of course way way better than Latin America, Africa.

So safety is basically a perception, if a person has live all his life in Malaysia, then he wont have any thing to compared too. I think a lot of Malaysians do not know what is "No Safe". When you walk down certain streets in Rio..that is not safe, when you go to certain areas in London during the wrong time, you are not safe. The not safe in this case is probably gonna get mug and killed.

Just bincangkan......and if can keep it cordial lar, not everything need to kow peh...betul tak.

okk

50-50

Its not safe when it comes to roads.

baik tuan

No shooting like in US

Please elaborate

No.

not safe if your are using motorcycle in KL.

I once meet day light robbery at Sri Hartamas main street while having lunch with client.

It was happened to fast and nobody has time to react what is going on before the motor has flee.

It was in front of balai police only.

Not kao peh but Malaysian deserve a better place.

Road accidents. I hear more people get killed that way than crime.

i travelled quite a lot as well.
and stayed in Japan for 6 years.

Malaysia is quite safe ok.
of coz cant compare to Japan.

That is really a quandary, I like guns because I can do 3 gun shooting when I am in the States, but their gun violence is getting out of hand....also just for your info, the JW4 Pit Viper by TT is USD 7k

This is betul

no gun violence (people will not shoot you without any reason)
no natural disasters (earthquake/ typhoons)

also last time I usually run in KL area at wee hours at night (12am/ 3am). So far no issues yet. if you do that in london/rio, well good luck.


the occasional floods are due to our own stupidity (dumping shits into rivers, getting rid of green areas)

I guess since you are posting this, no one died right, and I am guessing this are those moto snatch thief.

Ini pun I agree..

avoid kedai tepi jalan

malls are relatively safer lulz

Peace is a concept of societal friendship and harmony in the absence of hostility and violence. In a social sense, peace is commonly used to mean a lack of conflict (such as war) and freedom from fear of violence between individuals or groups.

one thing i wanna add to my previous comment though....
malaysia is safe, but not as safe as it was, lets say, 30,40 years ago.

I can only say that because im 40 plus now.

last time kids can go do a lot of things themselves. safe.
now pergi sekolah jalan kaki for 5 minutes pon worry kena kidnap.
naik basikal 5 minit to go anywhere pon dangerous because too many bikes/cars etc.

i guess a lot of things were safer to do many many years back.

and i guess those that say malaysia is not safe are also comparing malaysia to the olden days.
