Everyone recommends to stay away from it, but indeed the level of danger is negligible, compared to any bad area of big cities in Europe or America. The fact is that 99% Singaporeans are not used to travel far, while are used to live in clean safe sanitized environment where one could be pick-pocketed only once in a lifetime, at worst and IF it happens. No gangs, major crime or robbieries whatsoever. So, even Batam may look scary.
I went to Pasar Induk a few times even at night, to buy some fruit, and I received only some curious looks. Sure, I would not go inside at night, but there is no reason to go there. In any case, please do not go around poor areas with an expensive photocamera hanging from your neck.

Cheap sex in Pasar Induk: not really what attracts me there. Last thing I would do in Batam. But good idea to warn everyone.
