when ms lo have to face thousands of murdered NS slaves in hell ?
============================
Unique way to remember unique S'porean
A RED cheongsam. A Hermes handbag. A slideshow with jazz music in the background.
In death, Ms Lo Hwei Yen has reflected the way she lived her life - unique, unconventional and full of zest.
Red is not usually a colour associated with a wake. But in this case it was special.
It was the red dress the 28-year-old wore on one of the happiest days of her life - during her Bali wedding to Mr Michael Puhaindran, 37.
From the Hermes handbag which will be put into her white coffin, to the slideshow which highlighted her happiest moments, the lawyer's wake was, in every way, a celebration of her life and achievements.
Ms Lo's younger sister, Hwei Shan, 25, an editor with a publishing company, said: 'She was very happy to find someone she loved and settle down with.
'The slideshow, which was done by one of my brother-in-law's friends, showed them at the best time of their lives.
'It is the best way to remember my sister.'
Pictures of Ms Lo and Mr Puhaindran on their holidays, which were projected onto a screen to the left of Ms Lo's coffin, highlighted the magnitude of his loss as he stood alone beside her coffin.
For most of the evening, Mr Puhaindran was stoic. He had accompanied his wife's body back from Mumbai yesterday morning.
But he broke down as friends and family members hugged him, as they stepped forward to pay their last respects at the Lo family's condominium at Lower Delta Road.
Hwei Shan said he was distraught when they met at the airport yesterday morning. She and her family had gone to the airport to see Ms Lo's casket unloaded from the plane.
Hwei Shan said: 'No one could have looked at (my brother-in-law's face) and not be sobbing.
'In time, he will be more willing to explain what happened, and tell you how great life was with my sister.'
Ms Lo, a lawyer with Stephenson Harwood, was taken hostage and killed at The Oberoi Trident during a terrorist attack which began last Wednesday evening.
She is the first Singaporean victim of a terrorist attack.
Disbelief
Even two days after the news of Ms Lo's death was delivered to her parents, Hwei Shan said 'they are shaken, and there is a sense of disbelief'.
Loud sobs could be heard from outside the tentage as Ms Lo's mother-in-law, Mrs Puhaindran, had to be led away, supported by her husband and other relatives, after she saw Ms Lo's body for the first time since she was brought home.
The family's grief was private, with about 50 friends and family members coming to pay their respects by 8pm yesterday.
Strangers, too, felt compelled to pay their respects. Mrs Shirley Choo, 48, took along her son, 9-year-old Ryan. They live in the same condominium as the Lo family.
Although she does not know them, she said: 'I feel very sad for her. She was so young.'
Final speech
Ms Lo had gone to Mumbai to speak at a legal seminar.
Hwei Shan said that it was 'reassuring' that the colleagues who had visited the family had given positive feedback on Ms Lo's speech.
When asked about her sister's achievements, Hwei Shan said: 'She was loved by everyone; she had many friends. It is amazing what she has done.'
She added that her family is grateful for the public's support.
'Even though such a tragic event has happened, Singaporeans are able to express their condolences. It is really remarkable.'
The wake will be held until Thursday. The family has asked those who wish to pay their respects to do so in the day
