5 Appendix C Quotes from Dragon Boaters Andy Chen, Captain for DBS Asia Dragons Men Team I had a break from dragon boating when I retired from the national team in I m glad I took the opportunity to start dragon boating again when DBS decided to sponsor the DBS Marina Regatta in The bank is very supportive of employees participating in the sport. Being able to participate in the past three regattas with the DBS Asia Dragons and lead them to the podium has ignited the competitive spark in me once again. I m especially looking forward to the regatta this year especially since we ll be sharing the stage with so many wellrecognised names from the international dragon boating scene. Jasmine Wee, Captain for DBS Asia Dragons Women Team I have been an active dragon boater since my tertiary days, but my role has always been that of a team player. Having the opportunity to captain the DBS Asia Dragons ladies team has helped to build my confidence level, leadership and communication skills, all of which have helped me develop professionally and personally. It is also very rewarding to see the strong bonds that the team has forged and more women taking part in this sport. I look forward to putting up a good fight, and leading my team to victory at this year s DBS Marina Regatta! Loh Zhi Ying, Captain of Men s Dragon Boat Team, Singapore for SEA Games 2015 Through my participation in the DBS Marina Regatta over the past three years, I have grown familiar with the waters of Marina Bay, and I m sure the team will benefit from this home ground advantage during the SEA Games. The opportunity to compete against other national teams at the previous regattas has also provided us with invaluable race experience that will help when we come head to head with the best of Southeast Asia this June. It is heartening to see how far dragon boat has developed in Singapore, and we will do our best to bring it home at this year s SEA Games. [End] DBS Marina Regatta 2015 Page 5 of 5 DBS Bank Ltd
