SINGAPOREANS must always stay vigilant and be prepared against any terrorist attack which can happen here, warned Deputy Prime Minister S. Jayakumar on Saturday.

Professor Jayakumar made the remarks after he called on Mr Stanley Puhaindran, the father-in-law of Ms Lo Hwei Yen, 28, who was killed in the Mumbai terror attacks at the Oberoi Hotel there, to offer his condolences.

Mr Puhaindran is a long-time grassroots leader in Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong's Marine Parade costituency. Mr Goh visited the family on Friday night.
