Overall, Batam is much safer than most big cities in Europe or USA.
But these last weeks it seems a line of bad events happened one after the other:
Ayu, a 30yo lady found dead in room 353 in Newton (someone said for overdose, someone said killed by her occasional partner). Her face dead was also posted on several news web sites. I felt really bad for her. I might have met her, or not, but her face really looks like dozen others I have seen in Newton. Rest in peace, poor soul.
