For me, no matter where you go, it all depends on how well travelled you are, how aware and your luck. there is no safe or unsafe place in this world. for example, if someone says malaysia is unsafe, does it mean that the entire country and the places including hotel lobbies and walking in their amusement park unsafe? if one were to say that genting highland theme park is unsafe, then disneyland and Universal studios around the world would be unsafe. :P main thing is, wherever you go, there is always an element of chance for things to happen (even in singapore), so just be vigilant.
anyway, so far I've been to JB but stayed within city square mall and the bus interchange to take the bus to KSL. we try not to take taxis although I took once before but it was a chinese driver. I went outside the malls as well to coffee shops to eat but it the environment feels just like singapore, so not to worry. other parts of malaysia were also alright for me. Just try not to flash your valuables and wealth, and u'll be fine :)
UK farm is also a good getaway to see farm animals.. but food is so-so only. that time I took the bus to Kluang and a friend picked us up at the bus point and we drove to UK farm:)
