Told you nothing will happen. The minister and the generals are preparing their answers ready when there is a change over in the government. Joke! but there is always the possibility.
I imagine that TNI-AD Leo-2 corps in Pontianak (Kalimantan Barat) then MAYBE MAF rushed to get LHD /amphib vessel + dump a new tank regiment at 1st INF DIV to protect Kuching…if TNI-AD put the same tanks at Balikpapan or Samarinda…hehe Tawau will get a tank camp perhaps?…a nitemare for 1st INF DIV
