Singapore has topped another global ranking — this time for being the safest country in the world for immigrants.The ranking, part of online remittance service Remitly's Immigration Index 2026, saw Singapore take first place with a total safety score of 95.4 out of 100, up from fifth place last year.The total safety score comprised a safety index score and a political stability score, both aspects in which Singapore outranked all the other countries evaluated. The report put Singapore's safety index score as 45.4, and a full 50 for political stability. Trailing closely behind were Iceland, Switzerland, Japan and Luxembourg, which took second to fifth place respectively.According to the data collected, Singapore has «consistently low crime rates, strong rule of law and highly effective public institutions». Remitly said that Singapore regularly ranks among the safest globally due to strict enforcement, high social trust and political stability.The Republic was also named as the 5th country with the largest immigrant communities in the world, rising two spots up from 2025.

SINGAPORE — A man who defaulted on his national service (NS) obligations for more than 21 years was on May 26 sentenced to three years’ jail and a fine of $3,000.Edmond Yao Zhi Hai, 47, immediately filed an appeal through his lawyers Mr Sunil Sudheesan and Ms Joyce Khoo from Quahe Woo & Palmer.His sentence comes after District Judge James Elisha Lee found Yao had evaded the whole of his full-time NS and post-Operationally Ready Date (ORD) obligations as he was past 40 years old when he was arrested in 2021.The offender was convicted in March following a trial for failing to report for enlistment, and in April for his immigration offences after admitting that despite being a Singaporean, he had repeatedly used his Indonesian passport to travel in and out of the Republic.The judge noted that Yao’s defence had rested in part on the notion that he had been travelling openly in and out of Singapore without any enforcement action by the authorities, which he argued meant that they treated him as an Indonesian citizen.
