How To Ensure Safety in Our Own Homes


As Singapore is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, economically wise, it is expected that people who reside in its city (whether they be locals or expatriates who decided to work and stay) would be very cautious in guarding their own homes. Good thing that door access system in Singapore has now been made possible after reports of possible burglars entering house in no particular time of the day has been rampant.

Truth be told, as long as the thieves see that they can easily access one’s home, they will take the opportunity to take your prized possessions come daylight or night-time.

You do not have to worry about this as you can do wise actions to prevent this unwanted and prohibited incident from happening. For one, cctv system in Singapore may be bought to make sure everyone who enters the house and other event that may take place, day or night,  will be captured on camera—which is such a small price to pay in exchange of the family’s safety.

Another option is for you to hire a 24-hour guard. If you are living in an unguarded building, ask your “super” or building admin to hire one and be more than willing to chip in for the cost of hiring the security person. If you are living in an apartment or a flat, your own household helper can man the house all day long. And if you can afford it, do it like the English people who have their own butlers or house caretakers. This is nothing compared to the peace of mind you will have if you do not have to worry about your home’s safety every hour of the day.

If those are not enough safety precautions, there are more suggestions we have for you:
  • Do not leave your jewels unlocked on an  unsafe place in your room. Some people have safety deposit boxes (of really large and heavy sizes) that the thief cannot bring along with him.
  • Bring big amount of cash with you or better yet, let them be in your savings account on your trusted bank. Never ever leave a big amount of money at home when you are away most days of the week.
  • Costly appliances like big flat screen televisions should be placed or mounted in a way that they won’t be easily carried by another person. Other homeowners go as far as setting up an alarm system for possessions that may be hot in the eye of robbers.
  • Laptops and cellphones should also be locked away if you are going to leave them at home for several days. These things can easily be carried around. And often, no one gets suspicious when another person takes them away.



However, things can happen even if you are already inside your home. Always have emergency telephone numbers on your wall like maybe the police station nearby or even a friend or a neighbour’s number who can easily be there to help you out in case anyone attempts to break in into your door in an unexpected time. Better yet, it is advisable to not live alone as house breakers often targets home of people who are living a solitary life.
