Ms Lo’s passing away is a personal tragedy for a typical Singaporean family, regardless of nationality, religion, profession, political affiliation, or race. Let’s not politicize this, or use this as a springboard to justify matters of national security or defence.
For those who have expressed their condolences, let’s move on.
P.S. I think Daniel has a point. (You can’t tell if someone is a terrorist or not, just by their appearance.) And also on the point that arrogance can “trigger” terrorists – that’s all possible too.
I am now suddenly more wary of people carrying heavy or big luggages. But I am also aware that it doesn’t take a lot of space to create an automated bomb (wires and some chemicals extracted from….).
One thing for sure, IF the govt has any ways to fend off the attacks of terrorists, they are not going to publicize it. Should such how-to be shared/discussed online (protection against terrorists’ attacks)? What do you think?
Yes, LogicalMan, I have moved on (may be too quickly) because I don’t know of anything else that I can do for Ms Lo’s family. I am quite imaginary and again I am imagining her reading these threads.
She enjoys intelligent banter (I was told). So please bear with me while I share/discuss about terrorism with SmallVoice585, who I have peer respect for.
Dearest Smallvoice585, Thank you very much for replying and for the clarification. I thought you were saying Ms Lo retaliated and I thought I must have missed some news! haha
“Yes, most people do not understand terrorism and all they know is to be terrified of it. ”
Most of us also think about the question,”How can/do I protect my family? What am I to tell my children?” And actually, a handful know that their longterm goal is to take over the world, much like how Japanese wanted to conquer the world.
Wait ar, don’t laugh (ok, I know you are laughing or thinking how silly!) lol A few months ago while searching for ebooks, I came across an Arabian FORUM revealing the terrorists’ plans to do just that (it was mixed with Arabic characters and English words). But with a twist.
They want the “old rules”. Like….robbers will have their hands cut off, liars will have their tongues cut off. And if you date someone who isn’t Muslim, your father has the right to kill you in any way he wants. Blaj blah…in time to come, their longterm plan includes reigning the world with only Muslim leaders. Muslim leaders and….only Muslims.
The info came from a few people in the forum warning their peers of the terrorists’ intentions with links to videos (in Arabic, so i do not understand what’s being said.)
That is why I tell why most of us have underestimated their psychology.
However, the good news. I don’t think they will be successful if Nostradamus’ predictions are to be accurate once again. He’s predicted USA’s 911 amongst many other things (original prediction is in French poetry so as to avoid being accused of witchery or rather wizardry and heresy).
earlier, u make the point of screening indians, i believed I have pointed out to you that as now as it is claimed by India, the terrorists are militants from Pakistan, despite the very fact that these terrorist might very well be Indian Muslims who are disenchanted with their position in society. You then gave me the example of Ang mohs, to which I would agree that terrorists cannot be deduced by their appearances. What I am making against you is your apparent xenophobic stand that terrorists simply have to be ‘outsiders’, when if the logic that terrorists can be both local or foreign elements in any state or society. My question then to you is why not screen everyone, anyone who carries a bag or looks vaguely like a terrorist.
Now, we all know the current world is full of terrorists and they are ever ready to make a statement anywhere, anytime if it is allowed!
Once we step out of our country, we have every possible chance of crossing into the path of one (assuming Singapore. However, after Mas Selamat incident I no longer can be sure of that answer).
Pardon me for saying this. What I don’t understand is why our national news publicized this issue as if we die a war hero? Which make me come to the conclusion that Singapore is so well brain washed that we are safe in our own haven that when such thing happened, we react what we are reacting now. Yet, when there are many fellow Singaporean who choose to jump down the building or MRT tracks to end their problem, we just read the newspaper and think nothing of it (such issue are much closer to us as average Singaporean).
What I would expect the people (Singaporean) to understand that, danger is always lurking somewhere in the corner outside this island. It is the awareness all Singaporean need to have and need to be ready when traveling outside the country. This is your only protection and don’t ever expect Singapore Government to help you on that! If they don’t help you at home, I don’t think there is much for them to do overseas.
Many post contributors here kept reminding the other local media is propaganda of the ruling party. Yet, when it happened, most people don’t even know you are already in the propaganda. George Bush political career almost gone if not for the 911 incident, sometime, the timing is so coincident that I suspect he has successfully make the whole world (noted, not USA only) believe in his propaganda! He is stupid? No, his IQ is very much above our Old man considering the fact that Bush ability to control the emotion of the world to justify his war but Harry ability only limited to Singapore.
Why? Because Singapore react the way they react when such incident happened.
REDMAN, I agree with your 2 suggestions of #1 getting more involved and #2 to start contributing (there are more ways than 1 to contribute).
“Once we step out of our country, we have every possible chance of crossing into the path of one (assuming Singapore. However, after Mas Selamat incident I no longer can be sure of that answer).”
Anyone who has the emotional and mental fragility of those brainwashed to join the terrorists on their missions, is capable of becoming a terrorist. “While living in safety, be aware of danger.”
I just wish to encourage Ms Lo family in this times of trial and sadness..

We will always be praying for u ..
My condolences to this brave stranger.. curse those terrorists.. Hope her love ones and family will continue to live on bravely… May her spirits rest in peace..
Why you all like channel news asia? Only report this kind of news & those passengers at Changi airport back from Bangkok. Let’s focus on topics like retrenchments, town council investments, plight of minibonds & pinnacle notes holders, rising cost etc…..
Suddenily, this had become a DRAMA with deceased husband appear on the national television talking grand mother story! How about making a mounument at the centre of Orchard road.
Which part of RIP, people don’t understand? Including the family of the decreased and mostly the husband. Don’t think TOC need to further promote this topic since our national media had been doing so well on this! With all due respect.

I seriously hope Singaporean one day will have the same Nationalism awareness on it’s own country politic environment so as to:
1. Get more involved
2. and start contributing
To ensure necessary changes are made to better the country we once familiar with.
