Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka have once again been named the world’s safest cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in its third set of rankings based on urban safety and resilience. Muhammad Faizal Abdul Rahman, a research fellow with RSIS Singapore, said, “Singapore would want to continue maintaining its high position in the Safe Cities Index because security and stability are crucial to its model of economic development and aspirations as an international hub. In this regard, Singapore invests heavily in security technologies and emergency preparedness to keep its people and businesses resilient and the country safe in a region that is no stranger to security threats.”
