I've been here a couple of months now and saw a cockroach (maybe 6 cm long) in the kitchen the first night I moved into may apartment. I thought this was going to be a big problem, but have not seen any more indoors since, just a few outside.
So yes they are here but should not be a big problem if where you are staying has good pest control management, regularly fogs waste chutes etc.
Good luck!

What's worse, ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care

esp below HDB Flats .. or near rubbish chutes.. or worse those near coffee shops.. But i will like to think that they are still under control..


I kept them away by using aromatheraphy or insect repellent.. So far, quite effective coz i no longer see them around. Thanx God, i dun see them in my house .. or i will SCREAAMMM..


Cheers,
take care

Haha .. i dun think so..ohsoon wrote:it is harmless right?
It will be harmless if they are not within my sight and in home..
Otherwise u dunno what diseases they carry along with them.. i rather be safe than sorry. esp now with lots of air-borne diseases ..
Beside I choose who my friends are. And i do not want to make friends with them.. That is for sure!
