For me, it doesn't matter where the info comes from as long as it is out there and can be found easily. That is why I included a permanent link from DATMO.net website to Shafruddin's blog because he has Internet access and can update faster. I also posted links to him from this blog. (however the reverse is not true :( ) Yes I know that and no offense taken.

During DATMO, the official site DATMO.com was not updated for long periods of time, so much so that Shafruddin's blog became the "official" mouth piece of the tournament. Although the blog was brief and slow too, it still provided much needed info. Andrew, no offence intended.

I can only remember there was a Merdeka Team, standard time limit. 5 years seem a long time.... Can anyone remember whether there was a rapid team event before DATMO?

My posts on DATMO being the last had some people talking about Merdeka Team being the last one too. Hamid was clarifying that Merdeka is continuing and the rumour is just a rumour. Of course I wish it was true (that Dato's daughter will continue DATMO) but let's not make false claims. No rumour about DATMO but that again is a misunderstanding.

This event has gone on longer than some of the participants are old. From that the reference should be to DATMO. There is certainly no rumour that the Merdeka Team Event has a 5-year limit, is there?

That in itself is an introduction of sorts. You don't see his other children around, do you? Anyway don't you wish that is true anyway. Last time we had Mrs. Chen (now Datuk)of Selangor Pewter, whose sponsorship of Selangor Open is nearly as old as CAS itself.

That site you are referring is a blog and not the official DATMO website. MCF official website: http://tcn.sourceforge.net DATMO tournament website: www.datmo.net 2nd correction. Ahmad Shafruddin probably words probably confused you. "DATMO tradition lives on.." is misleading. Please don't make any assumptions as there is no confirmation from Dato Tan's daughter that they will take over DATMO. Though this is still an open question and she may just take over. 3rd. Hamid mentioned that the rumours that this event is the last is not true. He was referring to the current event taking place at that time which was the Merdeka Team event. The team event will continue on. Correction. That site you are referring is a blog and not the official DATMO website.

DATMO official site reported that Dato' Tan's daughter, CEO of Gold IS will take over DATMO thereafter. Hamid said at the start of Rapid Team that there is no truth that DATMO ends this year.
