Hi Laska,

Just to share from the right corner here, Yeah Puncak Jaya is a part of SEA because it’s situated in the irian jaya part (indonesia) but the ‘range’ OR ‘the body’ of the puncak jaya peak are belongs to the range from papua new guinea. Thats why it is also consider as the tallest mountain in Oceania. I agree with you it’s clearly in Indonesia but now we are referring to the geography term (because its all is about geography and boundaries) to clarify the right fact on this hot issue. As a conclusion, the puncak jaya are belongs to papua from ‘geography sight’. Except if someone wish to ‘cut’ its NECK (border) to separate the head (puncak jaya) from the body (range bishmark/sudirman) then we all would except that puncak jaya is belong to irian jaya.

I hope thats help.

@Ben..Irian Jaya is in New Guinea Island, but the mountain is part of Indonesia Boundaries, as Indonesia is part as SEA, then yes Puncak Jaya is in SEA
what make ppl thinks mt. KK is the tallest is just because Malaysia Tourism Board marketing, put it that way, so ppl from around the world would only know Mt. KK instead the other mountain which is obviously taller then mt. KK

@drizad
I think for the Indonesia Mountains above are NOT volcanic except Semeru

….”Yes is our time to change Geography Syallabus. Don’t cheat the students again…”

why changes?

Apparently written ‘geographically the highest mountain in SEA’ from the geography book. Teachers have to explain this to make the facts clear….

Here are several facts about the mount Kinabalu (which located in my district) ………..

1) STILL THE HIGHEST in South East Asia in term of PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
* Three peaks in Irian Jaya, Indonesia (Puncak Jaya- 4884m, Trikora- 4751m, Mandala- 4701m) are on the same range from Papua New Guinea (Oceania).
*While SIX more peaks in Myanmmar are on the range from Himalaya range where the Everest located.
*So, the NINE peaks which surpassed the peak of mount Kinabalu (4095m) are not actually formed either in Indonesia and Myanmmar. Another story for mount Kinabalu which formed on the crocker range which is within the boundary of Sabah, Malaysia.

2) But number 10 in term of POLITICAL.

Yet, politic is changes and changes…. physical geography as well (a thousand years ago)……….

Mt Kinabalu are really beautiful and everyone can climb on it…not like others places its so dangerous to climb and their posibilities to erupted is there…no doubt Mt.Kinabalu is the best at SEA..if its falls on No.5 only I dont care it all…

Still many tourist attracted to come and see at their own eyes the beauty of Mt.Kinabalu…Iziau noh ih talawa om lagenda koh montok spirit komohoingan Kadazan…
