Travel Safety in Singapore

Singapore is generally safe. The main security concern is opportunistic petty crime, particularly bag snatching, which occasionally occurs in either crowded public areas or isolated areas after dark. Although violent crime is rare, there have been a few reports of armed robberies and sexual assaults.

There is an underlying risk of terrorism that mainly stems from the Indonesia-based extremists, but the country's stable government and competent security forces have limited this threat. 

There are no major concerns relating to kidnapping or conflict, and demonstrations are uncommon.

An auxuliary issue facing travellers to Singapore is the country's set of unique local laws, some of which can be easily transgressed if you are not already familiar with them.

Medical facilities in Singapore are of a good standard.
