First World to Third?

Our per capita GDP is one of the highest in the world, our Gini Coefficient is also the highest in the world.  The foreign population percentage is also high up on the rank maybe with exception of Brunei and other oil producing countries.

When my wife told her mother the incident of my bicycle parts were stolen, she says this is a huge problems in her flat where bicycles parked below were stolen or have parts stolen.  We have a social problem of petty thefts.  Our country, our home is infested with petty thieves.

Are we moving from First World to Third?  I am sure the statistics will prove that Singapore is the safest in the world and petty thefts is low compared to other countries.  So our Government have big National Priorities to work on and have no time for petty thefts.

Have our Government heard of "broken window syndrome"?
