Why did the Filipinos and Malays never form kingdoms in Thailand and Indonesia?

The Austronesian People, from whom Filipinos, Malays, Indonesians, Malagasies (people from Madagascar), Polynesians, and ethnic Taiwanese (as opposed to Chinese Mainlanders who are now the overwhelming majority) all descend, conquered the islands they did quite effectively because they had preliminary agriculture and ship-building techniques. These overwhelmed any native inhabitants of those regions who were hunter-gatherers and not populous enough or skilled enough to fight back.

However, the mainland portion of Southeast Asia (excluding Malaya) had developed farming cultures (Vietnamese, Khmer, Siamese, etc.) who were just as advanced and developed as the Austronesians. Therefore, the Austronesians were either deterred from attempting conquest or just failed each time that they tried.

Therefore, Thailand remained a unique kingdom separate from Malaysia because its people were never overrun by Austronesians (who are the ancestors of the Malaysians). Indonesia as a united archipelago is a modern construction based on the fact that the Dutch united the region in the 1500s. Prior to that, each of the islands as well as Malaya, were held by different Austronesian sub-tribes. The Austronesians could not hope to defeat one another except in long-drawn out wars, which did occasionally happen, but this technological equivalency prevented colonization of Indonesia in general by Malays or Filipinos.

Why Malaysia keeps holding Sabah if not belong to them?

Malaysia has seen what the British has done and so they imitate to grab the opportunity when they got their independence from the British empire in 1963. Peninsular government of Malaysia slowly edge to make it appear Sabah is part of Malaysia by appointing interim administration and change the name from North Borneo to Sabah in a blink of an eye. It was also clear to the Malaysian Constitution that Sabah is a partner rather than a member state of Malaysia. It was also clear that Sabah is only interim member state.

Sabah is now currently contributing 30% to the whole economy of Malaysia. From this standpoint, simple calculations will give us at least US$12 billion dollars generated income annually. Malaysia has all the reason to hold Sabah ,a merely US$1,500 dollars rental to Sabah since 1963 is being paid by Malaysia. In short, the only capitalization involved is the rental versus billion dollar earning every year, Is that not enough reason to hold Sabah?

It was said that Malaysia is continually muddling the traditional leadership of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo by paying fake sultans among the relatives to the throne, to make it appear that squabble is there to reason out that they do not know who is the genuine sultan of whom Sabah will return.

There is also rumors that even the past and present administrations of the the Philippine government is continually secretly receiving dole out money from Malaysia in condition not to interfere or help the now traditional governance of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo.

Why did the Japanese bypass Thailand and conquer Malaysia and Singapore?

The Japanese did invade Thailand. But because of the large number of Japanese sympathizers in the Thai government and the strength of the Japanese military, the fighting was very short: despite fierce resistance by Thai border units, Thailand folded in a matter of hours. From that point forward, Thailand acted as an Axis power in World War II and her military fought alongside the IJA against the Allies in Burma.
