Eck! This is so scary! The victim must be feeling so traumatised now.

Gosh. Seems like people are more daring these days, robbing banks!

So far there's been 3 bank robberies this year iirc. Tough times..sigh! :roll:

Times are bad. Looking on the bright side, it's better than stabbing little old ladies in lift lobbies for a gold chain ...

[reldyn]

i think the robbers are very brave.
not that i'm saluting what they did, but it sure takes a whole lot of courage to rob a bank in singapore *i think*

[jemay]

Look at the report, it seems the bank is not well secured. Not even a security guard? Very unusual. I guess the robber has done his homework. Rob the bank alone? Well done

[miracle]

Ran off with $37000 .. mm!
Guess he will never be caught? Just like the Hong Leong Finance robbery months ago too. Indeed .. well done!

SINGAPORE : A man robbed a bank on Friday and got away with what a POSBank spokesperson said was "not a large sum".

Right. $37 000 is not a large sum!

[Tea]

at least it is a large sum for the robber. Dang, I hope he gets caught!

[Aphrael]

It's not that much to a bank ... imagine if they said it was - people'd be lining up to withdraw money for fear of the bank collapsing!

[crazygirl]

bank robbery is so uncommon here that people simply assume it would just never happen. probably explains why there wasn't a security guard around (perhaps went off since it was near closing time?).

anyway... still quite amazing.. 1-man feat

Not a big sum for a bank and insurance will probably cover the bank losses..

Ultimately, any of such cost will be pass on to us the poor consumers of bank services...

[poochi]

Definitely not a lot to a bank, but it's a lot to an individual!

$37 000 - all in a day's work.

[baobei]

Not a bad deal eh. Kekek

[candeecake]

Damn! Are the banks going to charge us more service charge? Or maybe implement a new security charges.
