I'm still trying to figure out the size of it. Initially when I saw it I thought 30-50cm snout to tail tip but looking now and comparing other things in other pictures it could be smaller, perhaps 20-30mm long. 11 Treeshrews listed for Malaysia but I need to discount those in Borneo only and check sizes, habitats etc. That means only 3 species and Pen-tailed and Pygmy have different tails so if it is a Treeshrew it has to be Common. At 30-40cm length that would fit. Based on that if you want to make a formal suggestion I will accept it.
With the ratty tail, short legs and compare to the surroundings it looks smaller than a mongoose or civet. I am thinking more like a Common Treeshrew. Squirrel like with long snout.
