Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Malay Mail at none against Borneo Post Online's shown. Malay Mail also leads on rating (3.3 vs 3.0) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Borneo Post Online's advantage is review sentiment (9% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Malay Mail holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively.
