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
