For some reason, the forum or my computer isn't allowing me to post on te other thread. Im trying to post it here
First of all I did not say that Javanese benefited from transmigration because they were the ruling class. Where did I say that the people who were moved were well off? I know that in Kalimantan in Borneo, the Indonesian government moved poor, destitute Madurese from Madura onto Dayak land, due to overcrowding on Madura. This set off large scale massacres by Dayak against Madurese.
Second, Sukarno was a collaborator with Japan. Why is he better than Sultan Hamid? During WW2, the most resistance against Japan in Indonesia came from Borneo, with either the Sutlans allied to the Dutch, or the Islamists in Amuntai in South Kalimantan who tried to revolt against Japan and set up Islamic state in September 1943. The Japanese committed massacres in Borneo against the resistance.
While they were doing that, Sukarno and Indonesian nationalists in Java and other places outright collaborated with Japan.
Malaysia supported them because Philippines under Marcos was aggresively trying to take over Sabah, and they stopped support when Ramos promised to leave Sabah alone.
Bold Red: The dissolvement of USI was not even related to the cause that Javanese should hold the control of Indonesia. USI was partially initiated by Dutch Government via Round Table Conference in 1949. Soekarno viewed this as an effort to crack Indonesia up. And the re-establishment of a Unitary Republic was initiated by three Major Federal Governments; Negara Republik Indonesia (Central Government, Negara Indonesia Timur (Nation of East Indonesia), dan Negara Sumatera Timur (Nation of East Sumatra and later followed by other federal governments.

I didn't talk about the differences between those two organizations.
The point I brought is that their existence also feed the existence of some of terrorist groups in Indonesia. Both MNLF and MILF were or are training some of those men, even supplied weapons, particularly explosives. Give Indonesia one good reason to be at least neutral, you can't. Malaysia is another case, Malaysia and Philippines had conflict, Malaysia was simply supporting any of them to destabilize Philippines but you can see the Sabah invasion. So much for a pet bitting the hand that feed it.
