The Mumbai terror attacks claimed a Singaporean victim when lawyer Lo Hwei Yen, 28, was confirmed among the dead last night.
She is the first Singaporean to die in a terrorist attack.
This must be one of the more painful stories I have read in a long while. Sure, terrorists attacks happen all the time, but it is difficult to be so stoical about it especially when someone from Singapore is killed.
It sometimes irritates me when jokes are made about the need to be vigilant to report unclaimed parcels, etc.
It is a serious matter, no country can afford to let its guard down.
My condolences to the family of Lo Hwei Yen.
