Due to supervening factors that has now come into play, I shall now give you the short answer to the two questions posed in Dancesport Under Seiged Part 2. The short answer is MDSB did not bother to reply to MPDC letter at all and The Dancespace, Peter Ong's request for sanction was met with a demand by MDSB to remove all MDSB logo to suggest that the ranking on the 25th of April 2009 is in anyway linked to MDSB.The Dancespace accordingly complied and since this is an IDSF run competition MPDC have no choice but have to step in and continue with the endorsement and sanctioning of the Dance Competition and the ranking.
MPDC are able to do that because MPDC is a National body registered under the Sports Development Act.
However today 25th April 2009 we discovered and are able to confirm that MDSB are no longer listed as a member representing Dancesport in Malaysia. You may confirm this by going to the IDSF web site at http://www.idsf.net/
The question at the back of your mind is which Dancesport body will be the filling the vacuum. I cannot at this stage predict but we shall wait and see. There are rumours abound suggesting this body or that body but it is really anybody guess.
Until then MPDC will continue act as custodian of the IDSF ideals and policies until the new body is selected. MPDC has decided to hold the ranking as promised in 2008 and will do so until such time when the new body representing IDSF in Malaysia is selected.
This is a most unfortunate event and it is pointless to speculate where the fault lies. You know where the fault lies.
