agree ingo_h : hier ja wohl geographisch, nicht politisch gemeint. Erich: die ganze Insel heisst aus der Sicht von Jakarta "Kalimantan": The islands of Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan, vgl. Website der indon. Botschaft in Berlin.

Borneo is an island, not a country ...

the north part of the island consisting of Sabah and Sarawak, both States of the Malaysian Federation, Brunei - the independent nation - and on the south side Kalimantan as part of Indonesia. (I was a frequent visitor to Kuching, Miri, Brunei, Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan in recent years, when my son lived on the island).

agree Norbert Hermann : he should have put it under geographic names ;-)
