A Malaysian News Publication recently posted an Article about how Malaysia could assert its Claims on Palawan, Balabac and the Cagayan Islands in the Philippines. The Author went on to discuss in Detail the supposed Historical Claims of Malaysia into these Areas.
I am not going to summarize the B.S. that he said, but you can read about it if you want to the "Jesselton Times" here: https://jesseltontimes.com/2025/04/06/could-malaysia-assert-claims-over-palawan-balabac-and-cagayan-island-in-the-philippines/
MY NOTES: A Month or so ago, the entire Bangag Government and Philippine Press made such a big Deal of some ordinary Chinese Citizen on Social Media about claiming Palawan, but I doubt if the Bangag and the Press will now make the same Fuss about this Claim by Malaysia on the same Area.
And to think that this Malaysian Claim should have more “weight” than the Chinese Incident since this was published at a legitimate Malaysian News Publication, and the Reason is simple: Because the United States (US) doesn’t want the Philippines to fight any other Country except China when it comes to Territorial Disputes.
And especially Malaysia which is the former Colony of one of its closest Allies, the United Kingdom (UK) which still has some Influence in Malaysia. Somebody send this Article to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) which was so willing to ride on that Chinese Claim recently, see if they will react anywhere near the same Way.
