Is Crime Bad in JB or Just Newspaper Spreading Fears?

[escksu]

I am just wondering. Cause in my recent trip to JB on Saturday morning, everything looks so peaceful and nice. I took small roads passing by palm tree plantation.

The only thing that unsettled me somewhat is those stupid horror stories I have read online or told by someone.

So, I am wondering whats the deal about crime in JB? Pple talk about it as if there is no law and daylight robbery is everywhere. But I don't see anything like that. Life goes on in JB. IMHO, it may actually be safer in JB compared to Singapore.

For a layman like me I couldn't tell exactly the number, but looking at how people are caging themselves in and even their Diamond master filters are not spared you can tell one thing or two about the situation on the ground. Petty and serious crime rates are climbing faster than inflation, as the buggers also need to catch up with the cost of living here especially in major cities like JB or KL.

How can Crime Rate in Singapore higher than Malaysia when most news comes from Malaysia instead of Singapore bro...
Guess u haven't really read a lot about Malaysia's crime rate.

Can you guys give me actual numbers regarding crime rate? It's hard to judge if we are only referring to sensationalist headlines in the newspaper to gauge crime rate, no?

Very hard to have actual nos because there's no correct statistic to begin with. In newspaper the police is always telling you everything's ok, everywhere still safe, no need to panic....but there's a saying....When the Govt tells you everything is ok, in real everything is not ok.

Frankly, I didnt read too much cause I mostly read them on SG papers. Not MY papers. So, SG papers don't talk too much about MY crime unless its those shooting case or something more serious.

Crime just got worse cause zahid's police folks cannot work effectively without the EO in place.

EO - means to apprehend and keep a suspected criminal in jail WITHOUT evidence, this means the PRDM knows where the problem is BUT not smart enough to also gather evidences to incriminate these suspects.

In short PRDM investigative skill is hopeless without the EO.

I wonder how the other police forces of other country cope without the EO but still deliver on their work.

Sorry I have to curse.

LANJ!AO.

You got see ANY shooting case in Japan?
And guess WHO is tied to Japan in shooting crime %? SINGAPORE. 0.5 homicides per 100,000. And please, 48 years ago Singapore is still Malaysia.

If the Malaysian police cannot protect us, then by all means make Malaysia a cowboy town, so we can all arm ourselves. Least I can take my own safety in my own hands than relying on dip shits who are only bothered to setup road blocks.

Crime is everywhere. Not having valid road tax also crime, but I don't see anybody dying from that. If that's Malaysian mindset, die lah.

CRIME IS EVERYWHERE, DEAL WITH IT LAH, ITS LIKE THAT ONE

Please go die far far.

Easy la.

No need sensationalist. Just read the chinese papers. Every single day there's a report of a snatch theft, a restaurant or establishment being robbed at knifepoint or gunpoint, earlier this month there was a gun shooting execution every week, and let's not even talk about the conspiracy theories that's popping up about those robberies happening so blatantly in Penang and the police seemingly not taking any action.

Compare that with the news on the SGP newspapers then you'll see the difference. Covered up or not, there's bound to be some reports.

wah you living under a rock ah? when in the history in Malaysia there were shooting case everyday back to back? only now under our glorious Prime Minister and our efficient PDRM Inspector General.

and after all that shooting they still say its safe. can you see the shithole we're getting into?

Sorry guys, still not seeing any numbers. Like I said, newspaper headlines is a poor gauge for crime rate.

An example, despite the recent mass shootings in America(cue the corresponding headlines,talk shows, bla2), gun crime rate has actually dropped by 39% between 1993 and 2011. Yet 56% of Americans thought that gun crime rate were on the rise.

I'm not trying to argue, just want cold hard numbers but I do note TR's remarks regarding the nonexistence of correct statistics.Do you know why this is?

When is the malaysia edition GTA coming bro? Should be more fun than GTA V with more corruptions, crimes, rape and etcs and more foreigners for us to shoot around for fun...

Then the police in this game would usually just ignore or reports...so is a free for crime city.

Statistics on what crime? So many types of crime. The smaller cases like snatch cases, robbery goes unreported...
