    Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Government Education Search Search: Singaporean hostage killed in Mumbai Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 33 minutes ago Singapore: News of her body being found on the 19th floor of the Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai filtered through to Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) at about 8pm on Friday night. Ms Lo Hwei Yen was found dead by Indian security personnel. About one—and—a—half hours later,Ms Lo’s husband, Mr Michael Puhaindran, identified the body as that of his 28—year—old wife, making her the first Singaporean to have been killed in an overseas terrorist attack. “We would like to convey our sincere condolences to the family of Ms Lo. This is a tragedy for all Singaporeans,” said a spokesperson from MFA, which alerted the media shortly before 6pm of a press conference later in the evening. Before addressing the media, MFA had conveyed the tragic news to Ms Lo’s father—in—law, grassroots leader Mr S Puhaindran, and Ms Lo’s aunt. Family members were grieving at the Marine Parade home of the grassroots leader and were too distraught to speak to the media. Ms Lo, a lawyer at Singapore—based offshore firm Stephenson Harwood, had been taken hostage on Wednesday night when armed militants took the Oberoi Hotel where she had been staying with guns and grenades. The terrorists had threatened to harm her if Indian security forces continued to storm the building, said MFA’s director of Consulars, Mr Jai Singh Sohan. Upon receiving the threat, MFA conveyed it to the Indian government. “We could not confirm this (demand) earlier as the situation at that time was fluid and fast—evolving. It was not appropriate for us to do so at that time for operational reasons,” he said at the press conference. MFA officials did not reveal more details about where exactly on the 19th floor Ms Lo’s body was found or how she died. Earlier reports on Indian television said Indian commandos had engaged in fierce gun battles with the terrorists on the 19th floor of the hotel. An Australian woman, who was staying on that floor told the Sydney Morning Herald that she had barricaded herself in her room when Indian security forces threw grenades, tear gas and smoke bombs in a bid to rescue the guests. Ms Lo is understood to have travelled to Mumbai to attend a business seminar on Wednesday morning. Several hours later, she managed to contact her family and told them that she had been taken hostage. MFA learnt of Ms Lo’s situation on Thursday at around 6am and flew her husband Michael and one of her aunts to Mumbai the same evening. The Ministry also sent a two—man task force to Mumbai to provide assistance to Singaporeans in Mumbai. Arrangements are being made to bring Ms Lo’s body back to Singapore. “MFA and our mission in Mumbai will do everything necessary to assist the family in this very difficult time. We wish this tragedy had not occurred,” said Mr Jai. “We have done everything that we could. “Our sympathies are also with the families of the other hostages who were killed in the attacks.” No more Singaporeans are stranded in any of the hotels in Mumbai, he added. Some 115 Singaporeans have registered their presence in Mumbai. Four remain uncontactable. Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong has expressed his sadness over the tragic incident. He knows Mr Puhaindran’s family and had attended their wedding last year. Upon learning the news, SM Goh visited the family, who were in a state of shock, reported Channel NewsAsia. He told reporters: “Unfortunately, what we feared came true.” — TODAY/yb Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article Average (1 vote) Sign in to recommend this article » Most Recommended Stories » Related Articles: Singapore Singaporeans in Mumbai recount their plight as they return homeChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 20 minutes ago Shock and sadness at Singaporean hostage’s deathChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 21 minutes ago Singaporean hostage killed in MumbaiChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 31 minutes ago Two special commercial flights to bring stranded S’poreans home from ThailandChannel NewsAsia - Saturday, November 29 S$1m worth of heroin seized in drug bustChannel NewsAsia - Saturday, November 29 Enlarge Photo Singaporean hostage killed in Mumbai Most Popular – Singapore Viewed US clears Bank of America deal for Merrill Lynch Love handles increase death risk: study US president's mother 'doing very well' in hospital: Laura Bush World's oldest person dies at 115 years Michael Jackson strikes 'amicable' deal with Arab sheikh View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular
