Card skimming is a Malaysian/Singapore crime specialty, my credit union used to break out into a cold sweat everytime I visited Malaysia.

In Singapore airport, jeez, you would think you would be safe using one in such a busy airport. Going there next week and have to withdraw some money.

just be careful howdo check the atm thoroughly before u put ur card into any atm i thought it was safe to being at a airport but obviously not my bank contacted changhi airport and told them about it and they said they are going to check the atms at terminal 2 and check the cctv to see if they can see the person who tried to make the 2 transactions the bank gave them the time the transactions were made so lets see what happens
