Singapore Safety
Any Qantas, BA, KLM (or any other) crew got any info on crew being attacked in Singapore, or any other layovers for that matter. Would appreciate any feedback.

IM NEW HEAR AND IM NOT SURE HOW TO START A NEW TOPIC OR WATEVER U WANNA CALL THESE THING BUT I WOULD BE REALLY GRATEFUL IF SOMEONE COULD GIVE ME SOME INFO ON eEMIRATES OPERATIONS IN THE UK.
THANX.

Controversial, moi?
Before you get bombarded with abuse the first point is to switch of the CAPS lock on your PC keyboard as typing in capital letters is considered bad form and akin to shouting. An effort to use proper English is also appreciated i.e. the use of 'U' and 'wanna' looks as though the poster is illiterate, lazy or both.
In answer to your question choose a suitable forum, suggest 'Airlines, Airports and Routes', and then, when in that forum, hit the 'New Topic' button on the top right or bottom left of the screen and post away.
A little observation would have shown you that, had you cared to spend a few minutes looking.

jumbo1,
I am sorry but I am failing to spot the connection between pilots/crew and assaults/armed robbery etc. in the first place. (I donīt know whether this is the right forum for this type of question, anyway.)
Pilot or not, almost any large city on earth has no-go areas or places you should not walk around at night. Lagos has been mentioned, the city centre of Jo`burg is notorious, etc. etc.
Singapore, for that matter, is one of the safest places I have ever been to.

The F/O and me got set upon by a bunch of locals wielding bamboo poles once in a questionable part of Katong many years ago. However it was entirely our fault, in fact the F/O's as he refused to pay for services rendered.

Most of the times I've been to China Jump with my crew we find the "Quantas" crew there who are totally legless and harass everything that walks by.
If you go out looking for trouble you'll certainly find it.

If I could second the fact that Singapore is one of the safest cities I have been to. Especially places like Chijmes and other places that foreigners go to. The authorities are aware that more bad publicity on top of Sars would further damage the economy. That of course doesn't stop drunken foreigners from causing trouble....

I lived in Singapore for four years.
Believe you me, you have to go out of your way to find trouble there. But I have to agree with CaptSnails, if you start behaving like a total **** then it won't be too long before someone lays one on you.
And Chijmes isn't a bar per se, it's a load of restaurants (and an Irish pub) contained within what was -- I believe -- an old convent.
Any crew stopping over in Singapore should consider Holland Village or Jalan Sultan Mohammed for a night out.

I just returned from a one year contract in Singapore. As the enconomy in Singapore has deteriorated, minor street crime has obviously increased (i.e. pickpocketting). Watch your wallet!
