When tragedy strikes
We share the grief of her family, friends and colleagues.
We are acutely aware that it could have been any of us, could have been any number of loved ones in our lives.
We feel the anguish and anger of decent people the world over who condemn acts of terrorism.
But please, can our national paper please stop referring to her as Singapore's first terror victim? I find it objectionable that the nation's obsession with being first and best at the finish line should be extended to a victim of senseless violence.

it is hard enuf for her family. i agree that the papers should stop harping about her being Singapore's first terror victim. so bad taste!
i agree. they made it like it is a big deal. i mean, it's a big deal. we all know. they don't have to rub it in.
edpjunkie + imp - thank you for seeing through the words. it's the salacious tone they take that makes me so furious.
yup, stop those big pictures, sensationalised with her cosying with hubby, as if we dun already feel bad and sad enough for the couple!
suziewong - oh yes, those personal pictures too. the newspapers were behaving like tabloid vultures.
