Singaporeans asked to display ‘do not steal’ sign in cars when visiting Malaysia

The sign has sparked debate online, with many angered by the photo’s insinuation that Malaysia is unsafe.

‘Do not steal’ sign displayed on car window

On Sunday (5 May), Facebook page SG Kaypoh posted the picture of a cautionary sign that garnered the attention of many online.

The post’s caption read, “Singapore vehicles need this when entering Malaysia”.

The sign, displayed on a black car’s window, advised potential thieves not to damage the vehicle as it had already been burglarised.

“Please do not break my window again. This car has already been broken into. There is nothing to steal,” the sign read.

Malaysian netizens upset over sign

Since Sunday, the post has caught the attention of many netizens online, with several jokingly suggesting the sign would just encourage thieves to steal the actual vehicle.

Other Malaysian commenters were seemingly annoyed by the sign, advising Singaporeans not to visit their country.

However, some pointed out the potential dangers in Malaysia after the SG Kaypoh’s post was shared on the Malaysia-Singapore Border Crossers (MSBC) Facebook page.
