Myanmar was part of British India until 1937.
Irian Jaya is, from geological perspective, part of Oceania.

So my theory is:
Before 1937, some angmoh said Kinabalau was the highest mountain in SE Asia.
And the belief held on until today.

British Burma you mean?

this

Myanmar highest if part of Himalayan, they didn't count it

edit: even chatgpt support us

The highest mountain in Southeast Asia is Mount Kinabalu, located in Sabah, Malaysia.

It is about geographical boundaries not political boundaries.

Across the Wallace Line is Australasia not SEA
Myanmar is more South Asia than SEA
