Well i was borned and rasied in singapore and depending on where u go its not really 100% safe lol. But most part of it is fine, its jus the laws that govern the country that make the public scared...u get fine for chewing gum, spiting on the floor, get hanged for drug use [depending on the amount] lol etc etc

Yeah, and i know nowhere is 100% safe, but i was born in south africa and riased there, so i can tell u, i'd take singapore over sa anyday. Some people say its a 'police' state, but to be honest i think they have it down pat. Lovely clean country and again, i feel 1000000 times safer there than i did back home. Australia has the chance to learn from other countrys and choose its future, take the uk for example, that place is just going downhill every day. SA is worse, and australia is getting worse each year. Just hope some1 comes in and gets pro active.

prolly quite a bit more than 10 years ago though mate...

10 years ago, my friend went over there to play basketball... was in the car, had his basketball gear right next to him.. guy walks up, rifle in hand, shoots him in the head, takes his gear... and that's the last i've heard of that case being followed up.

Pretty solid business "plan" right there

No overheads, cash in hand, bugger all work actually involved and if your "clients" whinge and complain you shoot them and steal there stuff (no one sees a thing and dead people dont talk)
