Okay there was a slight mistake, apparently the Team going for the Asian Indoor Games in Vietnam is selected by the Olympic Council of Malaysia. They even have a "stylo milo" namer for this Team. Yeah! The Olympian Team or something like that. Well whatever, at least Malaysia is represented in the 3rd Asian Indoor Games in Vietnam and for the love of Dancesport we wish all of them a Happy and fruitful outing.
I forgot to tell you that MPDC applied to join OCM but our application was rejected, so that is the end of the story and end of the road. You may want to know the reason why it was rejected? It is beacuse MDSB are still members of OCM, and the constitution say there can be only one member representing a sport. Oh ! but IDSF recognises MPDC but that is not important la in Asian Indoor Games.
Although MDSB membership has been revoked by IDSF, I think they are doing something about it. Seriously we wish them well and I hope all will turn out well. Then you may ask what will happen to MPDC? Aiyaa ! simple la see what IDSF say , if they say we move out of IDSF, we move out la. If they say we are suspended, we remain suspended la. If they say hang on, we hang on la.
Now those who want to dance in the Asian Games 2010 , go to OCM and ask them when are they holding the OCM Trials.
However if you are going to participate in IDSF competition come to us, we still have a function to play but must be member first and pay membership fee. Must also sign good boy or girl letter. Not easy for Freedom to Dance dancers where they subscribe to "macam macam dan apa macam pun bolih dance policy."
As for the 3rd Asian Indoor Games in Vietnam, only OCM have the power to let you go. Unfortunately MPDC have nothing to do with this Games or are associated with it. Sigh!
All the same we wish the Olympian Team good luck.
The picture is a flower with 5 red rings. Good luck ring la!

Olympian dancesport team? Is that a curse or a boon for dancesport? Have not heard of any other sport termed olympian team for Vietnam asian indoor games. Is there any?
I agree with you but I think OCM takes the stand that in the Olympian Spirit, that they can send an Olympian Team based on the Olympian trials held at the 7th Crystal Dance competition recently. But then again, the Olympian Team comprises a mix bag of athletes from MPDC and WDC.
The point I think is OCM now are a self governing, self regulating body for Dancesport.They may have their rules and adjudicators on Dancesport. Think about it, if there aren't any, then on what basis do they select the Olympian Team?
Bottom line, even if it is not a Malaysian Team at least there are dancers going to the Asian Indoor Games under the Olympian Team, takes the wind out of the sail right? But who cares!
Olympian trials sounds very unusual deviation from OCM role. Are not national trials organized by national sports association? Is the OCM taking over the role of national sports associations? Usurpation?
I have children dancing and as parents I want to see them represent Malaysia. What before Malaysia send Malaysian Team to Philippines and Thailand, why now Olympian Team? What is Olympian Team same as Malaysian Team or not.
In fact the National Association governing thesport should select the Team and they submit the names to the Olympic Council for approval. The MPDC did 3 competitions and submitted the Malaysian Team. MDSB I think did 1 competition in Melaka. Finally OCM did an OCM trials at the 7th Crystal Dancesport Competition in KL. There are 3 groups doing, but finally OCM decided to be fair and choose some from MPDC and one from Crystal Dancesport.
I think that is why they cannot call it a Malaysian Team but an OLympian Team. You know a little bit of country , and a lttle bit of rock and roll. It is like "Chap Chai"(Hokkien).
How did OCM select the Team and on what basis? I really don't know, but I guess they now have all the experts in Dancesport, perhaps the OCM Dancesport Rules. Semua pun ada. So they send their Olympian Team. You may laugh but I am serious, the Asian Indoor Games is by the Olympic Council of Asia, okay so OCM definitely will not play, play. It is a serious Game.
Sorry to answer Jackie's question is Olympian Team same as Malaysian, I think I will answer this way. For a Malaysian Team to be called a Malaysian Team (Good or Bad another story) , you need to comply the Rules of the National Association governing the Sport. Meaning follow IDSF rules. This is in the Sports Development Act.
Olympian Team means send by OCM , after all can go to the Games , they must say okay or no not okay. Other rules like IDSF not important mah! Why? It is because OCM have final say mah! If OCM don't let you go, they can say , I like what, you angry meh?
So if you want to "kaki song"(hokkien) say that Olympian Team and Malaysian Team same- same, go ahead. Now Jackie you understand or not OCM is "Tai Kor" ( Cantonese)
Dalam hal ini, apa yang di katakan olih saudara skydancer tidak tepat. Jika kani sayangkan sukan kami,kita patut akan tepat sokongkan atlit atlit pada acara sukan. Saya percayai MOM membuat apa yang sawajar nya pada atlit kami. Saperti Taekwando pun di hantar atas nama MOM. Apa salah dia?
Dear Ulik Mayang, Let me answer you in English. If you were to read my Blog I take the stand that OCM at least send a team to the Asian Indoor Games. That is good for the athletes and good for Dancesport. But in the long run, is OCM going to take charge of so many sports association under its wing?
Don't misunderstand me, the Blog comments that is in discussion is what make a Team a Malaysian Team? Is the OCM team a Malaysian Team? If it is a Malaysian Team how are they selected?
My understanding of a Malaysian Team means it is the best Team Malaysia can offer, it must be selected in a transpaent manner and the conduct must be according to the International Federation Rules. In Dancesport the International Federation recognised by the International Olympic Council is International Dancesport Federation or IDSF. Go to IDSF.net and you can see the Statutes and rules of Dancesport.
The body recognised by IDSF is MPDC. It used to be MDSB. MDSB lost it and they are doing something about it.
The point I am making is, now OCM being the body to register the athletes for the Games has decided to do their trials and ignore completely the 3 trials conducted by them.
I do not know the reason , but I suppose MPDC is not in OCM and probably they think MPDC trials are unfair. Okay so for argument sake, you say that MPDC ranking is unfair la, no standard la or sub standard, just tell us how are we unfair and substandard?
Then OCM have their own OCM Trials at the 7th Crystal Dancesport Competition in August. If OCM thinks that is a fair trials to select the best Malaysian Dance athletes, select la from there.
Instead OCM selected some of the athletes from MPDC and as a matter of fact 3 couples and one couple from their OCM trials.
Hello what happen to those others who participated in the OCM trials? Why are they not selected for the Asian Indoor Games?
Why suka suka ambil dari MPDC and dari situ? The point I am making is there are no basis at all in the selection of the athletes.
So it boils down to the descretion of OCM. Okay la lets say OCM has this descretion, now how does OCM exercise this descretion? Are OCM also expert in Dancesport? I know some of the OCM staff knows Joget Pahang, maybe a GO Go , or some know Off Beat Cha Cha. So on this they act on their descretion.
Hey Ulik Mayang, I better not say too much , nanti, if OCM naik angin habisla, OCM will not even send the OCM team.
All said sorry la OCM, not criticising you, sometimes we have to tokkok abit la. No joke no fun what.
