   Why do people talking about Malaysia CONSTANTLY refused to acknowledge that there is no geographic or political entity called Borneo.

   Borneo is the old Dutch name for what is now, and has been for centuries, part of the Indonesian archipelago. The correct name for the island is Kalimantan. Even that portion that is under Malaysian and Bruneian rule is on the island of Kalimantan.
