We can all agree that Singapore it is a relatively safe country. Forbes Advisor, a global platform that provides information and advice on personal finance, investment and travel, further confirmed this view through its recent study, which ranked Singapore as the safest country to travel to, based on a comparison of 60 international cities across seven key indicators.
For starters, Singaporeans are lucky because the country does not usually experience natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It also has the second lowest health security risk, which proves the quality of its health services as well as its infrastructure.
Singapore also has the second lowest infrastructure safety score. This refers to the potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with the city’s infrastructure systems, including transport, utilities, communication networks and public facilities. Finally, we have the second lowest digital security risk, which shows how freely we can use the internet without fear of privacy breaches, identity theft and online attacks.
Notable wins for other cities on the list: Tokyo takes the title of lowest risk for health security, while Sydney is the city with the lowest risk for cyber security.
