My Condolences to the 5 Singaporeans who passed away while competing for National Glory..
The Competition was held at the Tonle Sap River in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in conjuction with the Cambodia Dragon Boat Race Festival.
Well it was reported that some of them were not wearing life jackets, which i would like to add here, being a Dragonboat rower myself, during highly competitive races, life jackets really does hinder your movement while rowing, thus for optimum performance and results, most people do not really don on life jackets during races, except in Singapore, where it has become compulsory for all participants who are engaging in water activities to have a life jacket on always..
Nevertheless, the loss of 5 Talents in the Dragonboat Community will always be remembered
