Dragon boat community to come together in show of faith

Contributed by Surash Raman Mukundan, Secretary-General, Singapore Dragon Boat Association

The tragedy that struck the Singapore National Dragon Boat Team in Cambodia last November is the reason for the Corporate Dragon Boat Relay 2008: Show of Faith.

This unique relay, a special event initiated by corporate affiliates, will kick off the Singapore Dragon Boat Association's (SDBA) events calendar for the year.

"We hope that through this event, we can raise the public awareness that dragon boating is a safe sport, especially so in Singapore. This is also the first time that corporate organizations, who normally view each other as competitors on the water, are coming together to show our concerted support to the sport that we are all so passionate about," said Mr Adrian Tan, spokesperson for the corporate organizing committee and co-captain of Shell's dragon boat team.

"Funds raised from the participation fees and corporate sponsorships will be used to upgrade, renew and maintain the facilities at the Kallang Water Sports Centre. This is how we think is best to give back to the sporting community that we have gained so much from," Mr Tan added.
