514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 Johor police chief, Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff, said Singaporeans need not be too worried about becoming a victim of crime when they cross the Causeway.
After all, in statistics he shared with the Singapore media, Singaporeans made some 17.5 million trips across the Causeway last year and only 0.002 per cent - or fewer than 400 - were crime victims.
Which is about one a day.
He also said crime victims in some instances may have been "a bit lax with safety".
But the Johor police are doing more to make conditions safer, such as install some 1,000 closed-circuit television cameras in the Iskandar Region, raise the police-to-population ratio and increase ground presence.
