I really really agree with that.
Batam is one of the safest places I ever visited in the world.
Me too, before my first visit to Batam, I was somehow concerned about what I was reading on some web sites, things like "do not walk alone at night", "do not take a taxi from the road, call your driver", etc., but, just after few hours, I soon realized that I was in a very happy environment.
As long as you dont walk alone in some bad poor neighborhood at night (some slums on the hill, Pasar Induk, or the like), but you dont really have any reason to do that or to do that unwillingly, you will always be 100% safe in Batam!
Enjoy your good time.
