I cant imagine they say Malaysia is even safer than Singapore.

"The fifth edition of the Global Peace Index (GPI), which was conducted by the Sydney-based Institute for Economics and Peace, found Malaysia to be the most peaceful country in Southeast Asia and the fourth safest in the Asia Pacific region behind New Zealand, Japan and Australia"

whereas in another report (GCR), the findings is more logical.

The Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) by the World Economic Forum (WEF), which is based in Geneva, Switzerland, ranked Malaysia 21st this year, up from 26th last year. This puts Malaysia ahead of nations such as South Korea and New Zealand in the report, which covered 142 countries.

Singapore is ranked second behind Switzerland, and overtakes Sweden for second position in the GCR Report 2011 - 2012. The rest of the top 10 list is dominated by Europoean countries with Sweden (3rd), Finland (4th), Germany (6th), the Netherlands (7th), Denmark (8th) and the United Kingdom (10th). Meanwhile, the United States continues its decline for the third year in a row, falling one more place to fifth position.

In the Asia-Pacific region, Malaysia is ranked sixth (from eighth last year) while Singapore is ranked first, followed by Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.
