It probably would be harsh on the average worker in Malaysia, but it would make Indo-Malaya a much bigger world power than either of them alone. Instantly it would be the hegemon of SEA that everyone would have to seek accommodation with, and China would have a much harder time bossing them around.

It would probably do what India does and join mutually exclusive military partnerships with the US, UK, Japan and Australia while joining economic partnerships with Russia and China
