Because the current gov handle the issue behind the scene. If they able to work out win-win situation with everyone involve, why not... our national revenue depend a lot from oil and gas industry.
I'm not sure about Brunei; but in Malaysia, gov control the media to a certain degree (just like in China).
Normal citizen don't discuss these issue either they don't know much about this (because gov control the flow of information behind the scene) or they are not interesting (too busy with...
In reality, it is different story.
Like what China and Japan did few decades ago, put the Diaoyu/Sensaku issue aside, normalise the relation and improve the trade and economy (hence improve living standards...)
No one ask you to sell ur territory for money...
1. Not all ASEAN countries have SCS issue with China except PH, VN, Malaysia and Brunei.
2. Trade dependant with each other (especially with China) mean most of the countries play the game smart instead of direct confrontation.
3. At this stage, only PH and VN have issue with China. The other...
I understand what you trying to say.
However, i have faith in those liberal Malay and others who able to balance the threat.
If not, you will notice more and more Malaysian will migrate to Singapore and other advanced western nations.
Keris thread wouldn't happen as long as the police force able to control it (that's why we don't have political killings in the country).
No comment in term of home grown terrorist/extremist.
Stolen oil - can't do much because 'we' allowed it to happen few decades ago. It is almost running...
1. It is too late to change. Like you stated before, Sabah has been demographic engineered for decades.

1. Sabah is under UMNO control (Malay political power from West Malaysia). Constitution of Malaysia, Malays must be Muslim.

Did u see Singapore leader licking others boot?
Leader should have long term view...
We all know China will have more and more influence in the future especially in Asia. Only those living in their own world can't see it or just don't want to admit it. I feel pity for them.
Vietnam & Philippine - without a good diplomatic relation with the big panda at the northern side, they can't go with their full potential.:china:
Indonesia - big country and got lots of internal issues to solve. Need competent leaders to move the country to next phase.
Malaysia - my country; if...
The title is misleading.
Some people like to exaggerate the North Korea's missile capability and play moral high ground (for geo-political reason) to protein other 'weaker' countries. Some powerful western nations have been doing this for quite some time now :usflag::china:...
