Why didn't anyone think of anti-robbery standee to foil would-be-bank-robbers?

Blogger Phillip Ang in his post in December last year titled, 'Cardboard policemen can help deter criminals meh?', showed how effective Singapore Police Force's anti-theft standees are. In the wake of the robbery of StanChart bank in Holland Village on Thursday (7 Jul), some Facebook users were again wondering how effective the anti-crime standees are. User Shawn Shawket sharing a picture of the standee said: "I wonder which idiot who cooked up this campaign thought it would deter crime forever.....LOL !!!" Facebook user Gng Yeo Thuang responding to Shawn's post said: "Now the bank needs him." User Yukimi Wu said: "Haha why didn't they put it in front of every Banks to deter robbery?" And Seow Kiat Seng suggested that: "Standard Chartered Bank should put one in every branch." Another Facebook user Richard Seah suggested how such a standee would look like, complete with a haiku: "At Standard Chartered More cardboard matas to stop Daylight robbery" Just in case you cannot see his post, this is the picture Richard shared in his Facebook. 2
