The Netherlands is a notable destination for tourists, featuring picturesque canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. Its combination of urban sophistication and rustic charm appeals to many travelers, making it attractive to a segment of Malaysia's 34 million population.
The Netherlands is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Malaysia. It ranks 9th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, the Netherlands is the 18th safest country out of 160 globally, while Malaysia ranks 10th. Both countries have similar murder rates at 0.7 per 100,000 people. However, the Netherlands has a lower rate of female murders at 0.4. In terms of organized crime, both countries have similar scores, but the Netherlands performs better in state crime (2.5) compared to Malaysia (6.0). Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, the Netherlands is considered a safe destination for Malaysian tourists.
