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.
