How dangerous is riding in Singapore?

Hi fellow drivers and riders, I (20M) just got my Class 2B licence. I don't have a Class 3 licence or much real road experience outside of riding school.

I'm thinking of getting a bike, but I've heard so many stories about how dangerous riding in Singapore is because of other drivers. It's honestly making me second guess whether I should start riding.

To the more experienced riders here, what's it actually like? Is it as bad as people make it out to be?

I'm mainly nervous because I don't know what to expect from other road users, especially during my first few months. Any advice on how to ride defensively or habits I should build from day one? I'd really appreciate any tips or experiences you can share.

Edit: Also what is the best non peak hour time to ride for the first time on Thursday? (Preferbly night)
