Thousands of Singaporeans, many of whom do not know Ms Lo or her family members, have written condolence messages to them through these Facebook groups.

One of them, Mr Daniel Tan, wrote: 'The first time I read about her plight was literally a heart-sinking moment, even though I didn't really follow the Mumbai bombing news that closely. I hope she's now in a better place.'

Another, Mr Lim Teck Yong, wrote: 'It is very sad that a young promising life was taken in such a manner. I pray that comfort and healing will come upon the family of the late Ms Lo Hwei Yen.

'No words we say or post will make any difference, but I want the family to know that there are people out there who grieve with them in times like this...'

Others, like Mr Timothy Pang, posted links to pictorial tributes containing her personal photographs, and messages from Singaporeans.

Friends of Ms Lo have also posted messages to spread details of the wake, such as the dress code.

Ms Daphne Kuah wrote: 'Please be dressed in BLACK GLAMOUR, the way she will like.

'This is the dress code aligned with family members. Appreciate if all guests can come as per dress code. Yen loves glamour. She is the glamour of every party.

'This will be the last one we are having with her. And we want it to be a beautiful one - the way she would have wanted...'
