Pickpocket involves the stealing of money or other valuables from the person of a victim without their noticing the theft at the time.
To prevent yourself from being a victim of pickpocketing, there is some ways you can be aware of to keep you safe.
1. Do not display excessive cash in the public as this might draw unnecessary attention, instead use NETS & ATM cards for cashless transactions where possible.
2. Do not doze off in the bus or on train and leave your belongings unattended.
3. Do not be distracted by strangers creating a commotion or accidentally spilling something on you. Be wary of such situations.
