Police Officer, I can guarantee 90% is constructive. As a local, the crime rate exists due to extreme urban poverty at 5% and some minor crimes are from illegal immigrants (3%). In Kuala Lumpur people are very generous to poor people, they won't be hungry at least as many NGOs provide free food and a place to sleep.
Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia is not perfect but Malaysian and the government is trying very hard to make it a very safe place to live in.
Having said that, the worries probably do have a basis as they likely reflect the general view of crime here and should not be ignored.
No jobs, no money results in higher burglary rates. Pretty fucked up.
