"Trafficking"
I am fairly sure there isn't a "significant" sex trafficking problem in Singapore. The sources provided seemed nitpicked and based on its dates, it seems a lot like WP:RECENT as well. Until there is less WP:OR and more reliable sources about this topic dating back at least by a few decades, there isn't any notability for its inclusion.

 * There is a documented history of sex trafficking in Singapore dating back to at least the 19th century, see here. If there is no problem, why did the Singapore government set up a task force to combat it? Between the enactment of the Prevention of Human Trafficking Act (PHTA) in 2015 and October last year, there were 11 prosecutions under the act, 8 of which were for sex trafficking. If there is no problem, then why does the United States Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons rank Singapore as a Tier 2 country rather than Tier 1? --John B123 (talk) 09:19, 14 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Your comments above seem to contradict the edit you made here where you added . Either it's only a few recent isolated events or it's an ongoing problem that the government are taking steps to combat, it cant be both. The fact that the Singapore government has recognised the problem and taken action shows notability. --John B123 (talk) 10:11, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Many countries are located within Tier 2, eg. Germany, Greece, Hong Kong and Iceland to name a few. It does not make them countries with a 'signifcant sex trafficking' problem. Furthermore, your source dating back to the 19th century was pre-independence when Singapore was under British colonial rule, and so has no connection with the present day city-state of Singapore (post-1965), and so having that as a source wouldn't make too much sense to a reader reading about such topics that's supposedly happening in the 21st century. I included that statement to balance out the article as whatever the other writer wrote on that article seemed to have a personal connection to the topic, causing it to be really one-sided while implying that Singapore is a lawless unenforced place for sex trafficking. It's pretty misleading. Lise Hereford (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland etc do have trafficking problems, that's why they are in Tier 2 (Iceland was recently down graded from Tier 1 because of the huge increase in sex trafficking). Historical information is valid for inclusion in an article, but the point in my including the link was to show that trafficking wasn't WP:RECENT as stated in your original post. Sex trafficking in Singapore did not read as if "Singapore is a lawless unenforced place for sex trafficking", and "balancing" does not include deleting what you don't like and replacing it with what you think is correct. --John B123 (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Violent crime "extremely rare"
One expects the link cited by the first sentence to contain some statistics on violent crime; instead, it (ironically) describes an increased terrorist threat to UK nationals in Singapore. 203.118.10.140 (talk) 12:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
