One Singaporean offered a gentle correction to the post, writing, “It’s not unattended, it’s attended by thousands of CCTV cameras and a very strong public security apparatus.”
SINGAPORE: For many foreigners in Singapore, one of the biggest shocks is seeing people’s personal belongings left unattended. Sometimes, this is done to reserve a space or seat somewhere, as part of the famous “chope” culture. While it’s understandable when some leave their tissue packs, others have been surprised to see designer handbags, phones, or even laptops left alone for a while, and when the owners come back, they’re still there.
One offered a gentle correction to the post, writing, “It’s not unattended, it’s attended by thousands of CCTV cameras and a very strong public security apparatus.” Some said that Singapore’s safety standard should be the norm everywhere else in the world, and some X users said that elsewhere in the world, including the Isle of Man, Japan, Taiwan, and some parts of Australia, it is similarly safe.
