Reasons behind low crime in Singapore

Singapore, in yesteryear (long ago) wasn't crime free and wasn't a safe city to live or settled when it was under Malaysian Govt. Even after independence things were not so easy for Singaporeans and its Govt. The credit goes to Lee Kaun Yew, who brought Singapore at number 1 position and set an example for world. A few years ago, Singapore was ranked as #1 country for its Cleanliness n Safety. I heard people saying "As clean as Singapore".......

A few reasons why Singapore is Crime free or has low crime rate:

1) Very Strict laws and regulations
2) Severe Punishment -- even there is punishment for littering, spitting, jay-crossing etc..
3) Strict and continuous Monitoring
4) Public Awareness and Alert Citizens
5) Lower Unemployment Rate and Absence of desperate Poverty
7) Small Island with highly secured borders
8) Well Organised and Well Planned
9) High Literacy Rate
10) Professionalism

and so on.....

Singapore Govt. has created a very nice "ecosystem" which in result help them to minimize the crime rate. Among all the above mentioned reasons, the public awareness programs and Alert Public play a great role to keep the country united and crime free. Every inch of Singapore is under observation by THIRD EYE which is Surveillance Camera n Hidden Camera.

A Salute to Lee Kaun Yew and his management for their contribution to Singapore and to World.
