DBS Marina Regatta
As a bank born and bred in Asia, DBS celebrates the heartbeat of Asian culture and embraces the pulsing economic transformation of the region.
As a sport that is uniquely Asian, dragon boating hinges on team spirit and coordination. With a proud history spanning more than 2,000 years,
Dragon boating reverberates through more than 70 countries including DBS’ six key markets in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, Indonesia and Taiwan. It drums and cements cross-border ties and relationships through friendly competitions.
It’s small wonder that DBS and dragon boating are a natural match, with their commitments to nurturing relationships within and beyond geographical boundaries in Asia.
The DBS Marina Regatta 2012 marks Singapore’s inaugural international dragon boat competition. Held on the Marina Reservoir under the watchful eye of the new Marina Bay city skyline, the event will just be a paddle’s splash away from our new headquarters at the Marina Bay Financial Centre.
In partnership with the Singapore Dragon Boat Association (SDBA), DBS is dedicated to championing this proud Asian sport and bringing it to greater heights. This sets the stage for supporting the development of Dragon Boating and, bringing this uniquely Asian sport closer to the hearts of the world.
