So if we were to turn around and ask the (in this case) Malaysians to 'trade' something which enabled us to make a statement to the entire Commonwealth that one of their cultural practices was disrespectful to us, would they tegard this as a fair deal?

Or do we have loads of such complaints already out in the public domain and this is just them getting their own back?
