Besides, the only things that Borneo and Malaya had in common were jungles and Communist backed guerillas, the level of organisation among the groups varied wildly with the North Vietnamese being a recognisable nation, and therefore having a national support base, unlike the Mau Mau or Chinese backed guerillas in the jungly bits, who were minority groups and thus did not have a national base to work from.
