SINGAPORE: The bodies of two Singaporean rowers who went missing after their dragon boat capsized in an accident in Cambodia have been found.

Three more Singaporean rowers remain missing.

The two bodies were recovered Sunday morning. Their identities cannot be revealed until their next of kin have been informed.

The tragedy occurred on Friday when the Singapore team's boat was reported to have overturned and capsized as they were making their way back to the starting point after the Cambodia-ASEAN race on the Tonle Sap River.

A 22-member national dragon boating team from Singapore had been participating in the annual competition.

More than 200 people, including a Singapore naval team, have been involved in the rescue efforts. - CNA/ir
