Bedok Reservoir, Sunday, December 16th, 2007 – The dragon boat community came together to remember their five fallen friends at the 5th Singapore Dragon Boat Master Series last Sunday. After observing a minute’s silence, representatives from various clubs paddled in the same dragon boat to remember the five national paddlers who passed away in the tragedy in Cambodia on Friday, 23 November 07.
