At it's surface this seems virtually impossible, as during glacial periods Borneo would have been a small part of a much larger land mass.

Air & ocean currents would have been very different, the weather patterns
could not possibly be identical to that seen during interglacials.

Google "Sundaland" for more information.

That little puddle of seawater now covering parts of Sunda doesn't affect the interior montane ecology much, compared to the massive South Pacific. It is different than low lying islands which change drastically.

Again; the planet was overall cooler, all the new land mass changed the ocean and air currents -- HOW THE PLANET DISTRIBUTES THE ENERGY FROM THE
SUN -- and it's virtually impossible for it to have remained stable for all that
time.
