PSA on the (former) ASEAN Organization

[arsenette]

It has been brought to my attention that apparently the old Sasuke Malaysia is reforming under a different name but using the format of Sasuke. I wanted to make sure this information/warning gets out. The organization (under the new name MORSA) are no longer affiliated at all with the Sasuke organization nor TBS. Whatever it is that they are doing, they are doing it completely on their own. No idea how TBS will react to them trying to capitalize on the format (should it stay that way, they so far haven't mentioned format - nor if they will be sued like they did with ABC when they stole Takeshi's Castle to create Wipeout) however because they are still using the same Facebook as Sasuke ASEAN Open Cup, there is confusion about how they are supported. They are not supported by TBS at all so whatever old "likes" there were in the past should not be misconstrued to be the same as the present. I've been told that they are not at all connected to Sasuke thanks to a rift that happened internally last year. Use caution.

Except that MORSA stands for Malaysia Obstacle Race Sports Association which presumes some sort of government backing, which SASUKE Malaysia had.

"This is the Malaysian government, how can we help you?"

"We, a TV station in Japan would like to sue something related to your government for copyright infringement."

*Much laughter in Malaysia*
