Indeed, Singaporeans are used to live in a sanitized environment, where crime is virtually non-existent. I read once on the Singapore police web site the warning to citizens to
lock your bicycle when you park it.
Amazing warning, for anyone living in any "normal" country of the world (if forget to lock my bicycle where I live, it will be taken in 15 minutes probably).
As a consequence, when they cross the border they should be careful about immersing in a natural environment, where there are predators and they might be the preys. To be not an easy prey, just keep eyes open and be wary of who is around you at all time, but don't be excessively stressed. Take it easy. Be careful, not scared.
The good thing is that Malaysia and Indonesia are way less dangerous for the average tourist than most countries in Europe or America (including North and South). In September, I was 3 weeks in Colombia. There, gangsters may kill someone for 10 dollars.
