This last August a feud broke out between Indonesia and Malaysia after the Discovery Channel made a mistake in one of their television advertisements. Apparently the advertisement implied that Malaysia was taking cultural credit for an Indonesian-Balinese dance called the Pendet dance.
Indonesians accused Malaysia of trying to promote tourism with the dance being featured on a commercial, but in reality it was the mistake of the Discovery Channel who included it on a commercial for one of their shows.
The foreign ministers of both countries decided that because the two countries are neighbors and have similar cultures they would fix things.
