> What is happening in West Papua is horrific

I'm not sure what happened in West Papua but need to check that out, but what happened in Champa to Cham Malay people is even worst, they totally lost their country they resided for thousands of years to the north Vietnamese people, and being displaced to other countries like Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, etc while only very small minority still in Vietnam.

>You are again attempting to claim that 'Malays' or perhaps you're trying to imply 'Austronesians' are the first people to populate Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua. I think it isn't possible to have a useful conversation if you are repeating that falsehood.

IMHO, it's quite easy to settle this deadlock, get the original people of Hawaii Polynesia and Palau Micronesia for examples, to be properly tested on genetic ancestorial tracing to check whether they are partly decendent of the Perak Man community who originally settled in Malay Archipelago. As I've mentioned to you it's most probably inter-married but until then we can only guess.

> I'm not sure what happened in West Papua

  “In 1969, in an event referred to by Indonesia as the ‘Act of Free Choice’ (Perpera), 1,022 delegates appointed by the Indonesian government to represent all the people of Irian Jaya "voted' to become formally part of the Indonesian Republic”

Here "Free Choice" equates to under threat of death and torture to individuals and their family members. What followed was a UN sanctioned brutal boot on neck resource grab by the Javanese on behalf of western resource companies.
