KUALA LUMPUR: The Indian High Commission in Malaysia held a special ceremony here on Thursday (Dec 10) to pay tribute to the victims of terrorist attacks, including the late Hemalatha Kasipillay of Malaysia, who died in the 2008 attack at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai, India.

Hemalatha’s husband K. Sivakumaran, who was present at the ceremony, said though 13 years had passed, he could still vividly recall the tragic day when he received a call on the terrorist attack at the hotel on Nov 26, 2008.

"I was frantically looking for my wife from room to room at the hotel and suddenly news came that a body was recovered from a hotel room... someone brought me to the hotel room and said it was the room where my wife was staying. The event was attended by former deputy home affairs minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed, South-East Asia Regional Centre for Counter-Terrorism director-general Datuk S. Ganeson, Indian High Commissioner BN Reddy, members of the diplomatic corps and Sivakumaran's family members.

Sivakumaran said the tragic event was something hard to forget, though"time heals the wounds, but the scars remain", stressing that the act of terrorism was a serious security issue that needed to be addressed as it takes away the lives of innocent people in a gruesome manner.
