Copilot says got Kechubong Helmet and Lamina. I guess the Lamina is from the word Laminate? Can't seem to be able to find picture. I guess back then the Malay land was more peaceful.
Even in old Malay period movies that I have watched, I never see heavily armored warrior character.

civilization is slow. most of them are very outdated during ancient time. still use crooked dagger to fight when people have long sword. that is also the reason why british bring indian come ezy conquer, japan come also easy.
you can also say god protected them very long until penjajah come, their combat ability are not being tested. thats why their fighting style silat is more towards arts than actual combat practicability. very spiritual techinique.

when british bring gun come, they see silat style slow mo, they are laughing so much until give face to them. imagine crooked dagger pull out also that so long time, bulet already bypass their brain.

someone please make ai about silat vs gun clip must be hilarious.

people kinda forget that we're on an archipelago.

most of your fighting will be on or near water. you can spend a lot on armour but if your ship gets hit, youre going to reach the bottom of the sea before the ship does.
