In this country, security is a national priority. And the bet has paid off: 98% of residents say they are safe even when walking there in the middle of the night.
For more than a decade, only one state can boast of taking first place in the rankings of the safest countries in the world. At the end of 2025, the global report on security of Gallupan organization specializing in surveys and statistics, highlighted edifying figures on the winner, proving that the security policy carried out by local authorities continues to bear fruit.
Across the globe, a few countries regularly stand out when it comes to security. This is the case, for example, of Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark and even Switzerland. But it is another country which is the undisputed world leader in the field. He once again came first in the report conducted by Gallup for the twelfth time since 2006! If it is in the lead it is thanks to its very low crime rate, the efficiency of its law enforcement and its rigorous public order. Here, the safety of the population requires massive video surveillance with cameras everywhere, both in the streets and on public transport. In addition, the death penalty is still practiced there, mainly to punish rare people convicted in drug cases.
This is the impressive and extremely wealthy city-state of Singapore, in Southeast Asia. The report gives a figure that says a lot about safety here: 98% of residents say they feel safe walking alone at night. Over the last five years, this figure has never fallen below 94%, highlighting Singapore’s consistency in public safety.
In Singapore, which deserves much more than a brief stopover while traveling and can be discovered over a few days with a controlled budget thanks to concrete good plans, security also plays an immediate role in the country’s thriving economy. One of the most powerful in the world.
“Security is not only a social good, it is a strategic economic asset. Singapore’s reputation for security, both physical and regulatory, creates an assurance to conduct business consistently“, assures Shruti Rastogi, consulting manager at Gallupnear Sbr.com.
