Background
Malaysian federal government has violated 20-point agreement, an agreement that was made between the Malaysian federal government and Malaysian states in Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak). The violation of that agreement has caused Sarawak and Sabah become underdeveloped compared to Peninsular Malaysia, and a secession movement in East Malaysia with name Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM, English: Sabah Sarawak get out from Malaysia) is uprising. Indonesia also left Kalimantan behind the other regions in development, such as Java, Bali, Sulawesi, and Sumatra. Because Sarawak, Sabah, and Kalimantan share same land, tribes, cultures, and they also have same fate being underdeveloped, the idea for unification of Kalimantan Borneo, as well as independence referendum idea, is uprising.
Etymology
Etymology of Kalimantan Borneo comes from merger of two words, Kalimantan and Borneo. Both of these names are the common names that used to call the island. The purpose of this merger is to create sense of unity, which means no matter how the people in the island call their own island, they must unite to gain their independence.
