Last year MCF issued the tentative 2013 events calendar very early in the year i.e. 4th January if not earlier (Reference HERE). Kudos to them for the early issuance in 2013 as it allows stakeholders to plan ahead for the short-term...AT LEAST.
Having said that no further announcements were made when an event in the original list is either cancelled or the dates - changed. For example, I'd blocked the dates for the National Rapid & Blitz to be held on 16-17 November 2013 at UTP-Tronoh but an announcement were never made as to whether the event will go ahead or not. Other discrepancies apart from date changes were claiming the event to be FIDE-rated but not (6th NJCC Blitz is an example).
Just wondering - When will the 2014 events calendar be out?
Comparing to 2013, they are already "overdue" by 6days to 1week.
After all, FIDE had already published its confirmed & tentative calendar for 2014 (FIDE website HERE). Locally, Penang had also published their tentative 2014 calendar ( Penang Chess Association website, HERE ) as well as a few other clubs.
The only event I'm aware of thus far for 2014 apart from the MSS competitions is in Penang(USM Open), Perak, Kedah, Pahang and hometown Melaka ....All out of the Klang Valley.......and of course the KL International Open on 4-11 April (Event INFO ). No news on NAG and the likes, its no wonder.......never mind, I shall refrain myself!
