Despite the formation is a controversial one because other nations like the Philippines and Indonesia pose threats to the union however the Borneo states (Sabah and Sarawak) and the Federation of Malaya managed to materialise the formation of Malaysia with much deliberation and diplomacy. Cobbold commission has been instrumental to show the people in Borneo state agreed to the 'Malaysia project', though only one-third of the population favours the union, the decision incorporating Sabah to form a federation of Malaysia has benefited the state to a certain extent.

The central government must ensure sufficient growth of every state, while it is the right of the state to demand strategic development to improve socio-economic welfare.
