"\n\nIt is a little challenging to find trusted numbers about crime in Malaysia. While googling sites, I'd see some that have titles about &quot;Why is violent crime so high in Malaysia?&quot; only to read someone's personal opinions totally fact-free. I like the numbeo site for a chuckle. No info on who was posting their &quot;data&quot; on the site, but they show a large paranoia. Maybe it's all red-dotters adding their &quot;facts&quot; to the database. LOL\n\nhttp:  www.thestar.com.my story.aspx ?file=%2f2010%2f5%2f27%2fnation%2f6336760&amp;sec=nation   shows an interesting number of crimes per 100K population with Malaysia not a lot higher than Singapore. I can't vouch for the authenticity myself. \n\nhttp:  www.nst.com.my top-news malaysia-safest-in-se-asia-1.56908  says how safe Malaysia is, rather generically. \n\nI've been in a number of places around Malaysia and never felt the least bit of concern for my safety, or that of my family. But then again, having spent a lot of years in Asia, there's only one time I've seen a knife and that was in the PI port of Olongapo back in my sailor days. I feel much safer in Malaysia than I do in downtown Seattle, personally. It's all in our expectations I guess..."
