This is exactly the reason why many rich Singaporeans still prefer to live in apartments rather than landed. Some are even willing to spend GCB money on CCR Penthouses.
When you live in big landed, you have to grilled up the entire place and close your window every night when you sleep. With apartment you can always sleep in peace.
When Linden Drive resident Zena Lim first saw a large sign near her home in Bukit Timah alerting residents about a break-in in her estate, she got a little worried.
That, however, quickly turned into fear after she spotted more of the same signs around her neighbourhood.
"I was very alarmed," said the 37-year-old ophthalmologist. "Were there multiple incidents? Have there been any arrests?"
She was not the only one rattled by the "crime alerts" put up by the police to warn homeowners to keep their guard up against break-ins.
