Singapore News



A bag is stolen with the equivalent of 70 Euros in cash and it is in the news. I happen to see very often this kind of news in the papers here. A stolen mobile phone for a value of 100 Euros, a purse with 50 Euros, sometimes you even have a gold chain for a whopping value of 300 Euros stolen! I always find it quite amazing as if we had to report the stolen mobile phones or purses in France it would take 80 pages in the newspaper each day! That is also a sign of how low the crime rate is here. And as the Government avertises it in the tube or on street posters 'Low crime does not mean no crime'.
