Crime is everywhere where there are Caucasians, Black people, Latinos, and Muslims of various kinds.

China

Taiwan

I troll people in Orthodox churches, and I haven't gotten punched in the face even once!

"There is a lot of crime in Thailand related to the Russian mafia" - Yes, abroad, Russians sometimes cause trouble. But in Russia, as a rule, Russians are more likely to help (give food, money, let you stay overnight) than beat you up and rob you. But those same mountain people might just stab you on the street. So, Russians don't bother me. I don't see them as a threat.

Recently, I was talking to a guy whose son lives in China and who visits him there quite often. I got the impression that it is safe everywhere in China, with the exception of areas where Muslim diasporas have settled (there are plenty of them there).

most often, of course, they are sinners who are tormented by their conscience, who think that maybe they will be forgiven...

"Malaysia, Dubai, and Singapore didn't seem criminogenic to me" - But try dressing there in a style that doesn't match local tastes.

and smoking near a mosque... You'll soon see your own intestines. If there's anything left to see.

I can tell you what the penalty for smoking in Singapore will be, not just near a mosque, but, for example, in a park.
I hope the amount of the fine is clearly visible.

What a load of nonsense. Any car in the background will produce more pollution in a minute of engine operation than, for example, I do in an hour.

Car buyers in Singapore must pay an excise duty and registration fee of 150% of the market value of the vehicle. They must also apply for a limited number of government permits, called COEs (Certificate of Entitlement – a permit program to reduce the number of private cars in the country), which allow them to use the car for 10 years. The cost of such a permit can cover the purchase of a new Porsche Boxster in the USA or a C-Class Mercedes in Hong Kong, where air pollution has reached record levels.

The Singapore Ministry of Transport has reduced the number of permits issued, holding auctions twice a month, bringing the price of the so-called open-category COE (for vehicles of any size) to 93,990 Singapore dollars (data from November 2012). After the COE expires, the vehicle owner must apply for a new 10-year permit, export the car, or scrap it. The number of COE quotas can be found on the website of the Singapore Ministry of Transport.

Data shows that air pollution levels in Singapore over the past five years have been 88% lower than the permissible pollution level set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. During the same period, air pollution levels in Hong Kong exceeded the permissible level by 12%.
