INTRODUCTION
The paper revises back the tectonic model for SE Asia, based
on the two models proposed before

KEY POINTS OF THE NEW MODEL
Presence of serpentinities,
Evidence found show left-
type-S granites, pre-
lateral shear.

Paleomagnetic
Data
Thermal subsidence

km wide and
of Thailand),

amphibolite gneiss.
(Pliocene) Restorations of Borneo showing
the effects of 51 degree and 25
degree counterclockwise rotation
of Borneo with respect to Sumatra
and the Malaysian peninsula.
About 25 degree rotation is the
maximum rotation that can occur
without requiring the presence of
large (and unknown) strike
slip faults to accommodate the
differential rotation of Borneo as
associated rift basins with respect
to other parts of Sundaland.
