Singapore has long been regarded by the international community as a global bastion of safety and order. In 2021, in fact, the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Safe Cities Index ranked it as the third safest city in the world, just behind Tokyo and Copenhagen. That same year, the city-state would also record their longest period of days without serious crime since 2015—a total of 250 days. This sterling reputation is upheld, in large part, by Singapore’s justice system, which boasts similar international acclaim for its integrity and efficiency.
