The rise of militarized leadership in Southeast Asia reflects a broader global trend, where militaries that seemed to have diminished in ruling power are now resurfacing.

Analysts emphasize that only a few nations, particularly Brunei, Malaysia, and Singapore, have managed to retain consistent civilian control over their military forces.
