Singaporean Died in Mumbai Terrorist Attack

It was reported on the news that one Singaporean had been killed in Mumbai's recent terrorist attack on Tuesday.

Initially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had confirmed in earlier reports that the female Singaporean was unharmed as of yesterday. But at 9.35pm news tonight, the situation had turned for the worst.

Circumstances surrounding her death is still unknown at the moment though her family members had already flown to Mumbai. All we know is that she died a tragic death.

I don't know what all these terrorists are thinking but its totally unforgivable that they took lives away so cruelly. Besides, they were targeting the British and the Americans, what has a Singaporean got to do with anything? The Singaporean probably has the dubious honour of being the first Singaporean to die in a terrorist attack. *sighs*

The main issue that comes to mind is that why the Mumbai authorities couldn't save the hostages earlier? Unless their technology is not advanced enough to take on the terrorists? What could be the reason for Mumbai's failure to contain the situation and the losses?

Even right till now, the situation in Mumbai has not improved. But I don't care about that. I only know that Singapore citizens are not significant enough for India to get involved. Unless we get a satisfactory answer from India's government on their rescue operation failure, we will never have a peace of mind.

The losses are simply not tolerable. Not especially India should have been on the lookout for such terrorist attacks ever since their elections started. This breach of security is a serious issue that needs to be investigated and put in check.

As for the female Singaporean Chinese woman, I can only say that she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. No one could have predicted that she would come to harm. Not like this. This barbarian way of the terrorists.

We should stand up to terrorism and not allow it to ruin our lives. Every single one of us must do our part to be proactive in preventing terror attacks. Terror attacks are such a lame and cruel way to destroy humanity. What is this world coming to?

I may not be able to do much but at least I can help to spread the message around. We are all human beings, is there a need to treat each other so hostile? Hmmm, actually I am sort of a hypocrite when it comes to equality. I don't have a single good impression of the China people but that does not mean we should launch a terror attack on China.

We should resolve issues through diplomatic talks, not through violence. What does violence acheive in the end? Only more loss of innocent human lives. These terrorists are probably brainwashed to the point where they regards humanity as nothing more than pawns in their games. Stupid, mindless games, I might add.

Besides the disaster in Mumbai, Thailand is also facing its own domestic problems with its people going all out on the streets to wage protests against the current government. Negative news are all the new staples for current affairs news these days.

When will it ever end? We might never have a satisfactory answer at all. Such is the downfall of humanity.

Unless, my own Twinkies comes along and takes me away with him, to live in eternal vampire happiness. Heehee!!! My very own Edward Cullen! Ok, I'm disgressing here.

We need to have more light-hearted moments in our lives. Otherwise we will remain gloomy and life will be something that we DON'T look forward to. That would be so depressing.

Now I'm off to my lala land, together with my Edward, to find light-hearted happiness! Tada!
