Woman claims her 14-km walk home in Singapore at night was not only safe but therapeutic
SINGAPORE: The Little Red Dot has a reputation for being one of the safest, if not the safest, cities around the globe, and one young woman put that to the test by taking a 14-kilometre walk home in the early hours of the morning. TL; DR, it worked. Not that we would advise anyone else to do it, especially not alone late at night, but the woman, content creator Denise Yueheng (@de_knees__) said…
Singapore, known as The Little Red Dot, is often regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. One young woman, content creator Denise Yueheng (@de_knees__), put this reputation to the test by embarking on a 14-kilometre walk home from Boat Quay in the early hours of the morning. The journey, which took her four hours, was not only safe but also therapeutic, Denise revealed in an episode of her Detour with Denise series.
After learning that her ride home with Grab would cost S$50.80, Denise spontaneously decided to walk home from the Japanese cemetery. Though she acknowledged the presence of potential risks, Denise felt secure throughout the walk, mainly due to the ability to stop or call a Grab whenever necessary. She advised others not to follow her example, suggesting they wear comfortable footwear, listen to music, and stay in well-lit areas.
Denise emphasized that the walk was worth it as it provided her with uninterrupted time to walk, think, and experience Singapore in a unique way. The post aimed to encourage people to try new, safe experiences and stay connected with loved ones.
