Just days before this somber anniversary, Balkaur Singh, Moosewala's father, made a striking announcement—he would contest the 2027 Punjab state Assembly elections from the Mansa constituency, the very land that birthed his son's legend. The decision, he emphasized, wasn't rooted in political ambition, but in purpose—a mission to seek justice for his son, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala. 'This is not just about Sidhu—it's about every parent who has been denied closure, every family that's waiting for justice," he said during a public address. He expressed deep frustration that, even three years after the assassination, many of the accused remain beyond the reach of the law. His political entry is both a protest and a promise—a father's refusal to let his son's death be reduced to a cold case. On May 29, 2022, Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in Mansa, Punjab—a brutal and calculated murder that shocked the nation and devastated his fan base worldwide. He was just 28. Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, a key member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the murder in a chilling statement soon after. The assassination was not just the loss of an artist—it was the silencing of a generational voice. In a twist of bittersweet fate, a year after the tragedy, Moosewala's parents welcomed a second child through IVF—a new beginning born from pain, which many fans see as a spiritual continuation of Sidhu's light. Born on June 11, 1993, in the village of Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu was more than a musician—he was a movement. A graduate in electrical engineering, he moved to Canada for further studies, where he first began dabbling in rap. But what began as an experiment soon evolved into something larger. With his signature baritone, unabashed lyrics, and fusion of Punjabi folk with hip-hop and drill beats, Sidhu Moosewala quickly rose to fame. His songs often spoke of identity, social justice, power, and personal grief—turning the mundane into poetry and the political into personal. With hits like So High, Legend, Selfmade, Old Skool, Just Listen, and 295, Sidhu carved a path no one else dared to walk. He challenged the norms of the Indian music industry, stood tall in the face of criticism, and created a space for bold, independent Punjabi voices in a space often dominated by formulaic pop. He collaborated with artists across borders and genres, earning respect not just as a performer but as a visionary. Despite controversies and censorship attempts, he remained unapologetically vocal.

JOHOR BARU: Johor police have raised a total of RM30,295 to be donated to the families of the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel who lost their lives in the tragic accident along Jalan Chikus–Sungai Lampam, Teluk Intan, Perak, last week. Johor police chief Datuk M. Kumar said the funds were collected through a spontaneous donation drive launched among personnel within the Johor police contingent. He said the contribution would be handed over to the leadership at Bukit Aman next week, before being distributed to the victims' families.

At today's event, some 250 officers and personnel from the Johor contingent are expected to donate blood as part of the annual blood donation drive. Kumar said that 110 pints were successfully collected during last year's campaign and expressed hope that this year's collection would surpass that figure.

The WW2 aircrews who dropped secret agents into Europe
In the last months of World War Two, aircrews from an Essex airfield were responsible for dropping secret agents and supplies into enemy occupied men of 295 and 570 Squadrons, based at RAF Rivenhall near Chelmsford, were supporting Special Operations Executive (SOE), as well as supplying SAS units. "Low flying skills were absolutely essential and they needed to find drop zones in the dark of night with minimal help on the ground and that took extreme confidence - and bravery, as they were on their own," said historian Chris Bullock. Many of crews had also flown at D-Day and operations Market Garden and Varsity, surviving injuries and losing friends, he added. Rivenhall's connection to SOE came as a surprise to Mr Bullock when he began the former airfield near his home 10 years ago."From October 1944, 295 and 570 Squadrons dropped SOE and SAS supplies into France, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark and even one mission into Germany, while from February 1945, they also dropped agents into the Netherlands," he said. "One well-publicised agent who dropped from Rivenhall was Jos Gemmeke; she escaped to the UK, carrying microfilm of V1 rocket sites after the failure at Arnhem, where she was trained by SOE, then parachuted back in March 1945."Ms Gemmeke survived, was awarded one of the highest Dutch gallantry awards and given a military funeral when she died in Minister Winston Churchill ordered SOE to "set Europe ablaze" in June 1940, by supporting local resistance movements and conducting espionage and bravery - and sacrifice - of "Churchill's secret army" has been remembered with films, books and TV series since the end of the war. Mr Bullock, 56, who served in the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment for 25 years, said the skills and courage of the air crews, making the drops behind enemy lines, have been underappreciated. "They're flying extremely low, typically at 500 to 600 feet (152 to 182m) above ground level and there's an even greater skill to holding steady at such a low height," he said, and each plane was on a solo mission, without support. They could only fly when there was a full moon and, to ensure they carried as many supplies as possible, the Stirlings were stripped of their front and rear guns, leaving just one machine gun in the tail. Norway was the Rivenhall aircrews' initial destination in late 1944, flying in "horrific" conditions, said Mr Bullock. "It was so cold inside the aircraft, and that made it difficult to fly, because once ice starts to form on an aircraft, it adds weight, and that makes it more difficult to control," he said.A lot of the aircraft found themselves stalling and nearly crashing and on one early mission, Rivenhall lost its station commander, Wilfred Bullock said: "The rest of the crew parachuted out, the plane crashed and he was killed - so imagine that for Rivenhall, your big boss goes out and doesn't come back." He has calculated about 40% of the squadrons' drops over Norway and the Netherlands were successful, with the right weather conditions and a reception committee ready and waiting for the drops on the ground. Mr Bullock believes the missions required "a different kind of courage" to that shown by other World War Two RAF aircrew, "dropping these supplies behind German lines, right into the enemy's heart, without aircraft support and carrying out these missions on their own".
