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.

its a choice
you want safe, the place to live is not cheap
you want cheap, the place to live is not safe
find somewhere in between, even within the same country
there's places/region/rural area that can be describe differently
for example within malaysia itself there's different city with less crime

i agreed on this, when im primary, i go school by myself, walk to tuition
now i need to always keep my eye on my kids when outside...

if wanna compared to south africa...it's like heaven and earth already

we're literally can be 1 of the safest already

I am also 40 plus, so there is just one point I would like to add, the kids nowadays are very sheltered, so I guess they don't have the street smart that we used to have also (how to ponteng sekolah..go out which route then cannot be spotted) and when we were kids, there are less traffic, things will and have to change, can you imagine if now we still with our 56k modem, then you connect to TM got the iconic sound.

Back in the days, kidnapping all still happen, but we dont know about it, because news dont travel so fast and far, now even small stuff happen in new mexico you also can know.

Was mugged at knife point at age 17

What kind of grown ass man would mug a 17yo in school uniform?

According to global peace index 2022 we are no 18 out of 163 countries in the world



https://www.visionofhumanity.org/wp-content...mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Easy target, mugging is a crime of opportunity, they will always choose easy targets.

as much as i agree that kids nowadays are very sheltered, i do believe that it is also because nowadays it is not as safe as before.

im not saying 40 years ago no kidnapping.
i personally experience it myself.
from my school to the main road to take bus, i got followed by a chinese uncle on a bike. after i walk a few simpang, there he is again, just staring at me.
this was in primary school.
anyway, i sorok2 use other roads and made sure its not secluded and then made my way to the main road. (i agree our generation also more street smart)
one of my friends also kena kidnap with a lady in purdah (convenient way of disguising yourself).

but looking at the crime rate nowadays also we can see that it is not as safe as before.

higher population means more people.
more people also means more bad people, more crime as well.
hence not as safe.

last time i can go to tuition center nearby central market all the way from hulu kelang by public bus. and this was in primary school.
of coz we know not to lepak at secluded stairwas at Central market where people will call you and force u to give them money.
i also kept some money hidden in case i kena pau. (again, i agree we are more street smart, as we do live in the "street" )

nowadays if primary school children naik public bus thats full of low class foreign workers, then go to central market, confirm kena con, kena pau, kena cabul etc.

imagine seeing a 10 year old naik public bus to Kotaraya, chowkitt or Central market by himself.
not as many as it used to be i can tell you.

Because the past 60 years the majority liked the gomen that won.

They kecam because of corruption or stupid policies or unfairness (helang/pipit) also, they still support because those party convinced them, janji olang kito.

However, now since Mahadi, there is no guarantee.

In other places, people there fight gomen. Like you see when they made vaccine mandatory, people there fight. People here will accept anything the gomen says. Give teh tarik and say akhirat lebih penting also they'll vote for you.

Maybe we should look at the bright side, I would say we're safe so it's really something to be thankful about. Rather here than Paris.

within asia pacific, malaysia not bad
safer than australia

For some reason, I never kena "PAU'ed" before, even when I went to places that all my friends kena "PAU'ed". Same thing, I never kena bullied in school (I am also not a bully ar)...I made sure I wasn't a victim

it depends, where u stay, where u work, and how u travel from 1 place to 1 place..still remember last time cycling back from cybercafe, suddenly a car drive near me, and cause me to fall down, and then few of them come down from the car and ask for money.

Are you still suffering from PTSD due to this?

nope, but i do worry for my kids tho

Understand, especially people think kids now carry more money and hp.

Street became alot safer when foodpanda and grabfood was introduced

No need to bincang. Malaysia's neighbour is Singapore. Last time independence at the same time.
Why is Singapore 3.4x safer vs. Malaysia? So Malaysia is not really that safe in comparison.

U walk behind chow kit at dark also not safe

this i kinda agree. when there's easily accessible and legal means of earning a living, one won't simply turn to crime.
like it or not, tipping culture may contribute to the positive factor. of course not the full retard mandatory tipping like in the US

Hmmm, is it? Kinda forgot the days before grab and foodpanda

we need AI drone

Alot of snatch theft remember?

id say if someone keeps his head down , low profile etc then sfae. because most assassination etc people getting killed is targeted, of course there are still some robbers who kill ...

but then, sometimes sshit happen like if u driving nicely suddenly some gangster ram into you, i duno if he would be so gentleman to admit he is at fault

anyone got experience bang gangster before? i mean bang gangster's car

40 years ago there was only.little indonesian people in malaysia
why indonesian? they the top foreigner involve in crime...
my mum give me lust of things to buy from shop..and i as 6 years old walking to that shop that about 400m from home
do that now and ill.be disappeared...kena langgar or kena culik

unsafe in taman sentosa klang, taman medan, JB, pucheong.

i always not feel safe.

U wait till PuAS takes over...fully control....

i not sure if i can make the assumption that now is any lesser

I grew up in JB...very safe what

last time my parents house got broken into and many stuffs got stolen and missing, from electronics to jewellery.

police arrested the perpetrator that happens to be just our neighbors few units away and his friends.

pas state all peaceful
bn/ph state daangerous...look at penang..johor..selangor

basically any place that have multi races

LKY also have to apologize

https://amp.scmp.com/article/188398/lee-sor...ysia-crime-slur

Diu lor it says Taiwan is a country. Wumao disapprove this list.

30-40 years ago population was 50% less and if you live in urban area, probably 100-200% less. Our country has urbanized a lot in these three decades. Last time most housing estates in kv were terrace house and landed. Now is mega condo and apartments. Density increased a lot.

Malaysia basically a safe place compare to many countries.
our government and PDRM actually did a very good job to keep our country safe.
here we don't need to be worry about random shootings at mall/school, bombs, being mug.
Of course here we also have crime like robbery, mugging, kidnapping, fighting's, killings etc, but its just not as bad as the other country.
I have been living here for the past 40 years n touch wood, never been mug or anything here.
i have temporary live in Sydney for 2 years, been mugged in broad daylight in a busy street. shouted for help and those Caucasian don't even give a damn.
they just looked at you and that's it. Never offer assistance also.
Went backpacking with friends in Paris. We have been followed by few person for almost 1 hour.
they also tried to picked pocket our belongings. While inside the subway, a women purposely bump into me on the left,i quickly look at the right side.
And true enough the guys hand was already inside my pants pocket. i shouted at him and both couple quickly get off at the next station.
Lucky my wallet and passport was inside my hidden pouch beneath by shirt and Jacket. it is so scarry encounter.
Then another working trip to Cape Town, i met a local chinese woman from HK been living there for the past 30 years, she dare not even bring a handbag out.
she just kept everything in a backpack, and backpack was always carry at the front. Its basically not safe to walk outside after 8pm.
and my mothers friend who's son also working at a small town 1 hour drive from Cape Town. he always carry a handgun with him.
and put the handgun on standby if inside the car while driving.
so basically i agree with TS, Malaysia is pretty safe.

at least Msia do not have organ harvesting syndicates, do not have underage girl kidnapping syndicates, that operates openly in the daylight in China

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xuzhou_chained_woman_incident
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvest...ioners_in_China

Mamak 2am... safe.

The only thing not safe now at specific mamak is the wallet, roti tisu rm14.....

Of course is safe until you get robbed.

This is like saying "You won't die unless you get killed"
