Safety is an important factor many tourists consider when planning a vacation or a holiday. No one in their sane mind would consider vacationing in a war zone, nor in an area notorious for kidnappings and beheadings. Which is why safety is a key selling point for any country interested in wooing tourists and their money.
According to the Global Peace Index, Malaysia is currently ranked 19th out of 153 countries all over the world
With that in mind, it is nice to know that Malaysia is considered to be among the top 20 safest countries in the world, according to a survey by an international research institute on peace and security. Malaysia is ranked 19th among 153 countries in the 2011 Global Peace Index report by the Institute for Economics and Peace.
Malaysia may not have such a good reputation as a ‘fun party’ place as Thailand, but it sure is a heck of a lot safer here. And safe is always better than sorry.

Malaysia is in the top 20 list of the safest countries in the world according to a survey by an international research institute on peace and security.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said the country had been ranked 19th among 153 countries in the latest Global Peace Index (GPI) report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) this year.
In 2009, Malaysia was the third safest in Asia after Japan and Singapore, and was 26th among 144 countries in the GPI.
“Last year, Malaysia was 22nd on the GPI ahead of Singapore and only second to Japan as the safest in Asia,” he said when launching the Ops Utama Perdana Feet on the Street campaign here yesterday.
Khalid credited the achievement to the cooperation between the Government, police and the people.
On the campaign, a programme under the country’s National Key Result Areas, Khalid said the initiative could work wonders in reducing the crime index and street crime in Sabah and Sarawak.
He said the programme had been successful in the four peninsula states where it had been implemented.
He said about 500 general operation force personnel would be involved in the campaign and they would be aided by a host of personnel from Rela, the Civil Defence Department and Neighbourhood Watch, among others.
