I don't think most countries in that region spend the kind of money on air defence that is common among countries which had been involved in the cold war.
Even so, remember Mathias Rust, the young German fellow who flew a Cessna across Eastern Europe and landed the thing in Red Square in '87.
You not only have to detect the unidentified flying object, but you have to make a decision whether it is a threat, then allocate assets. I suspect they don't perceive a lot of airborn threat in Southeast Asia these days.
