Safety in Johor Bahru?

I have a job offer in JB. Is it safe to live and work there? Especially bringing my family (with two children)......

Hi Turtoga,
Do you mean safety issues on social-crime? environment?
Malaysia is a safe country.

Yes, that is what i mean.  Safety issues on social crime.  Because i've heard that it is not safe to live? Many thieves? Please enlighten me about these?

Turtoga,
Thieves are everywhere if they are given the opportunity. No one can guarantee for our safety, however,
use common sense in our everyday life.
