One of the reason why i chose Singapore as a place to study is because Singapore is considered as a safe and clean country. I personally think Singapore is still safer than Korea as the crime rate in Korea is higher than Singapore but i would not say it is a safe country because i see the room for improvement from my daily life in Singapore. I think Singapore should work actively on installing CCTV cameras. In Korea, CCTV cameras should be intalled in all the elevators and stairs in every buildings, schools, apartments and houses by law. It is strictly controlled under the government so wherever I go in Korea, i can find CCTV cameras easily but in Singapore, i still see some places without CCTV cameras. In my condo, there is no CCTV camera in elevator. This is very dangerous because there is no proven evidence to track the murderer. Even if there is murderer roaming out freely in Singapore, it is very hard to catch him without CCTV records.

Singapore is very famous as a clean and safe country among many foreigners coming to Singapore. I really hope Singapore to remain as a country where people can stay without worries about their safety. Singapore is changing its landscape and demographics very fast and this brings along new challenges in security climate.
As a result,I think community involvement in security and safety efforts is very essential in our neighbours safe.The citizens of Singapore also should be more vigilant and take actions such as reporting suspicious charaters. Every actions done by individuals can help to deter and detect crime.
