A lot of Singaporeans would take offense to being lumped in the same category as Taiwan crime wise.
Take a trip down memory lane:
Gun pulled on Taichung foreigner, police don’t care - Taiwan / Living in Taiwan - Forumosa
what about the Converse Asia executive whose wife was killed in her house back in Taichung in the late 1990s?She was killed in 1997 in front of her two children in her house in a gated community with private security guards. This international executive stayed in Taiwan for a year afterwards trying to get the government to do something. Complete waste of time. Somehow someone got in with a truck, stole their big TV etc. etc., murdered her, and the guards and security cameras saw nothing. Must have been ghosts. There were suggestions at the time that the security company and guards (all ex-police) were involved in the murder and being protected by the local cops.
