Crime Prevention Tips
Do not leave your belongings unattended or unsecured. While it is common to use belongings to reserve seats in hawker centres or other public places, you run the risk of having these stolen.
Remember to take all of your belongings with you when you leave a public place or public transport.
If you have misplaced your belongings in a commercial building (such as a shopping mall), seek help from the customer service counter, retail shop or security staff immediately.
