Condolences To Singaporean Hostage Killed In Mumbai

Posted by: Ben Pei on 30 November 2008 - 557 views

There is a sudden terrorist outbreak recently in Mumbai and most of the attacks were targeted on foreigners in the country. I presume it is due to the lack of internal security and weak military intelligience. Sadly, one of my fellow countrymen (or lady) was held hostage and killed in the attack. I am dedicating this post to her and her family in remembrance of this tragedy.

The Mumbai terror attacks claimed a Singapore victim when the female lawyer was confirmed dead just last night. She is the first Singaporean to die in a terrorist attack. She had gone to Mumbai to attend a business seminar and it was meant to be only a one-night trip. During the attack, she was held at hunpoint and the terrorist ordered her to tell the Singapore Government to tell the Mumbai authorities to refrain from acting against them or they will kill her. Unfortunately, she was killed during this chaos and her family could only identify her body in the hotel room.

Let’s just pray for her and the other hostages that are being captivated. STOP terrorism!

    We also lost someone from this country ( Australia ) , and had another shot in the leg. This is a terrible act and one i hope we never see again. How thoughts go out to everyone involved in this tragic event.

    It is a very sad occasion. Violence happens in so many places, but it is always a tragedy for the families caught up in it.
