Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Government Education Search Search: Shock and sadness at Singaporean hostage’s death Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 20 minutes ago SINGAPORE: When she met friends at a wedding two weeks ago, Ms Lo Hwei Yen told them that she was headed to India for work. She seemed excited about the trip, said the friends who met her. On Friday, Ms Lo, 28, was identified as the Singaporean hostage held in the Mumbai terror attacks. Her body was found on the 19th floor of the Oberoi Hotel. Friends whom TODAY spoke to expressed shock and sadness at the sudden loss. “She was so young,” said a former Victoria Junior College classmate, who declined to be named. Another who saw her at the wedding said: “She seemed very radiant the last two times I saw her. I was very happy for her.” Ms Lo, the eldest of three sisters, was engaged to Mr Michael Puhaindran in 2006 and they got married in Bali last year. Friends described Ms Lo — who also attended Methodist Girls’ School — as “bubbly”, “bright”, “confident” and “outgoing”. At National University of Singapore, she was an active student who took part in many activities. Friends from law school said she was popular and known by many, including her juniors. A former colleague who had known her since 2005 said: “She was bright and outgoing like any young lawyer entering the profession. It seemed the world was her oyster.” Ms Lo was at law firm Drew and Napier between 2004 to 2006. She left it for a brief stint at another law firm Rajah and Tann, before she joined international law firm Stephenson Harwood where she had worked since last year. Rumours of Ms Lo’s fate had been circulating since Friday afternoon. On Friday evening, as word about a media briefing was to be held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spread, one friend, who knew her, spoke for many when he said: “Many of her friends are still hoping there is some good news.” As friends turned to news websites about the Mumbai attacks, Ms Lo’s name stood out for some. Said a former junior college schoolmate: “Her name was quite unique among all those I knew. Most are Hui Yan or Hwee Yen. She’s Hwei Yen with an 'I’, with a nice radiant smile. She will always stand unique in her friends’ hearts.” — TODAY/yb Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article Average (8 votes) 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 22 minutes ago Shock and sadness at Singaporean hostage’s deathChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 23 minutes ago Singaporean hostage killed in MumbaiChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 34 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 Shock and sadness at Singaporean hostage’s death 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
