Season 2, Episode 2: Chamkaur Singh Dhaliwal (The Red Jacket Series)

SKA Awaaz – Voices that Inspire presents the Red Jacket Series — a tribute to members of our community who have represented Singapore at the highest level.   From the quiet neighbourhood of Sembawang to the intensity of the international track, Chamkaur Singh’s journey is not defined by setbacks, but by something far more powerful, such as discipline, consistency, and the drive to keep improving every single day.   In this episode, we trace Chamkaur’s path from his early days running on local tracks to representing Singapore at the SEA Games. Supported by a close-knit community that believed in him, his growth was steady, focused, and intentional. A sheer reflection of the habits he built over time.   This conversation shifts the narrative from struggle to structure. Chamkaur shares how discipline became his foundation, how small improvements compounded into big achievements, and how staying grounded in his roots helped him stay on track, literally and mentally.   More than just a story of sport, this is a reminder that success doesn’t always come from overcoming obstacles. Sometimes, it comes from showing up, doing the work, and getting better every day.   A story of quiet strength, purpose and pride — and a testament to the power of consistency.   This episode is also brought to you by supporting media partner Asia Samachar.
