This came to mind at a odd time of 4.30am haha... don't know why but I'll just write it down before I forget it.
Dear friends,
It is unfortunate that the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai have resulted in the deaths of over 140 people. The number of dead and injured could still be rising even as we speak.
It is especially unfortunate to hear of the passing of Ms. Lo Hwei Yen, a 28-year-old Singaporean lawyer. The Late Ms. Lo became the first Singaporean to come directly into harm's way via an act of terrorism.
With more Singaporeans heading overseas on working assignments, it is only a matter of when, not if they will be directly affected by acts of terrorism. Let us learn from this incident to be vigilant, but will we be able to draw the line clearly between paranoia and vigilance?
Rest in peace. Ms. Lo.

Even if we don't head overseas, it's still a matter of when, not if we will be directly affected by acts of terrorism. Singapore is not really that safe. Mas Selamat is still out at large remember?
I pray for the world to be a safe place for everyone.
