SINGAPORE: A group of visually handicapped and hearing impaired dragon boaters have won a dragon boat race.

Called "Silent Dragon", the group , which has come together for the first time to form a dragon boat team, beat 4 other teams from the Breast Cancer Foundation, KKH, a team of Northeast CDC councillors and a team of teachers from Northeast CDC, to emerge the winner in their leg of the race.


Organised by the NorthEast CDC, SAVA - a company that runs international dragon boat events - and grassroots organisations, the North East Dragon Boat Championship 2006 which was held in Bedok Reservoir on Sunday also saw 6 teams from the Northeast constituencies, headed by grassroots advisors like Mr Teo Chee Hean, battling it out with other groups.

The team headed by Mr Ong Kian Min, advisor to Tampines North, took home the trophy at the end of the event. - CNA /dt
