based on this map, it's much closer to Brunei than either Sabah or Sarawak. Didn't see Brunei making a fuss ?

although China companies have recently made a bee-line for Brunei, including the new Heng Yi refinery in Brunei https://www.ogj.com/refining-processing/pet...-brunei-complex

not trying to suggest anything, but eerily reminiscent of 1941 http://www.combinedfleet.com/BorneoOil.htm

IMHO, also abit pre-mature to state the number "16 planes" as the "formation" could have been a probe of radar coverage / readability. With the methods available , who knows if it's actually 2 planes or even 30 planes.
