The tragic and untimely death of Singaporean hostage Lo Hwei Yen has shocked the country, with locals saying her death will not go unnoticed.
They may be strangers from all walks of life, but the death of the 28—year—old Singaporean lawyer has brought the nation together in a common outpouring of sympathy.
A member of the public said: "It’s very sudden and she didn’t deserve to go like this."
Another said: "It’s quite shocking news, I think every Singaporean feels that."
"They didn’t have a reason to kill her," said the third.
And tragic as the incident may be, Singaporeans say it serves as an important reminder to be always vigilant.
"The world is a very dangerous place right now," said one.
"I’m very afraid one day it might happen here," said another.
Sympathies have been pouring in from Internet users as well.
A memorial group page on social networking site Facebook has seen its number of members swell into the hundreds since it was set up early Saturday morning.
Many blogs and forum entries saw users describing their shock, grief and even anger at the news.
But a common thread throughout the posts is the hope that Ms Lo will rest in peace.
And as one blogger aptly said —— Ms Lo is more than just a number, she is a person whose absence will be felt.
As I said, "God is never fair".
She is such a beautiful & intelligent babe.
What a waste!
