Brothers Pola Singh, Lieutenant-Colonel (Rtd) Heera Singh and Lieutenant-Colonel Inderjit Singh are the proud sons of a cowherd from Air Leleh, Melaka, who raised nine children who served the nation prominently. Pola is the fourth among nine siblings, — sisters Ajaib, Harcharan, Iswander, Kulwant and Sarjit Kaur, and brothers Heera, Harban and Inderjit. In a period when the nation celebrated Malaysia Day and its 60th National Day, Pola spoke of how fortunate it was to live in such a wonderful country. “We have to thank our country for our blessings,” said Pola, who turned 68 on July 16. The couple’s daughter, Cheryl Kaur, 38, is Affin Hwang Asset Management Bhd deputy head of equities, while son Dillon Singh Pola, 37, is a banker in Melbourne, Australia.
