SINGAPORE – Friends and family members on Tuesday (Dec 31) attended the wake of Ms Abigail Danao Leste, one of two women who died after a car crashed into them at Lucky Plaza.
When The Straits Times arrived at the funeral parlour in Geylang Bahru, a woman understood to be Ms Leste’s cousin was sobbing by the casket.
A priest from the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea conducted Catholic rites for Ms Leste, as part of a 10-minute service arranged by the Centre for Domestic Employees.
Ms Leste’s cousin read some scriptures as part of the service, her voice quavering throughout. She later discussed arrangements with the centre and the funeral parlor.
The nine friends and family members at the wake declined to be interviewed, with some saying they were still coming to terms with the tragedy.
Mr Shamsul Kamar, the centre’s executive director, said there are plans to fly Ms Leste’s daughter to Singapore within the next few days.
