Bittersweet relations

Indonesia -Malaysia have built a quite unique bittersweet relationship. Currently, the relationship between Indonesia and the neigbouring country, Malaysia, has come to its peak again. With its unacceptable manner, Malaysia keeps trying to intrude the Indonesian waters which has been acknowledged by UNCLOS. Another type of case exacerbated the situation with something more political. Such a case of 'Manohara' seems completing some Indonesian people's anger toward Malaysia. Previously, a couple of problems emerged like the claim of Batik and Rasa Sayange song by Malaysia. How should we bare with this kind of relationship?
