A hashtag '#BoycottMalaysia was trending on Twitter with Malaysians and Indians raging out against each other's countries following the former country's critical view on India's abrogation of Article 370 of its Constitution.
The trend apparently originated in India after angry Indians started replying to Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Bin Mohamad's tweet calling Jammu and Kashmir a country, which has been "invaded and occupied" by India. Mohamad had also raised the issue in United Nation's General Assembly, where Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan made a simmering speech rife with references to Kashmir and snide attacks on India. The Malaysian prime minister, openly siding with Pakistan, advised India to sort it out with its neighbour.
Indians started outraging about the statement and somebody came up with the clarion call: #BoycottMalasia.
Malaysia eyes 1 mn Indian visitors.
India is the sixth top tourist source market for Malaysia.
But we need to #BoycottMalaysia & Boycott @TourismMalaysia.
They are enemy of India & a terrorist state in making.

Need not boycott Malaysia. Let’s play the way China play. Raise the import duties. Raise taxes on Malaysian airlines operating in India. Target their tourism industries. Talk to opposition leaders in Malaysia. Foreign babus know their job. #BoycottMalaysia

However, the situation took a turn for the worst when Malaysians backlashed using the same hashtag, claiming that Indians were not welcome anyway. The ensuing hatred unleashed sometimes bordered on racism, and at other times leaned on dry humour.
#BoycottMalaysia will be good for environment. we don't want uncivilised, rapist, n scammers to visit our beautiful land.
n ur Modern Bollywood movie kinda suck now.

They want to #BoycottMalaysia? So be it. If anything, we should applaud & welcome this move. They’re a third world country anyway when it comes to basic rights & living conditions.
And if you’re a Malaysian, your allegiance lies with our Jalur Gemilang. Don’t you forget it.

Lets not forget, India is the home to gang rapes and backwards concepts like the ridiculous caste system. Not to mention that their sanitary standards are, well, shit. So let them #BoycottMalaysia. We couldn't care any less.

Me before I see why #BoycottMalaysia is trending VS me after seeing why.
Indians would bring more trouble here. Please fix your acts of stealing and raping people. And terrorising Kashmir before boycotting anyone. pic.twitter.com/BWgqNYYDle

There was even a reverse trend of #BoycottIndia that some Malaysian users came up with.
This morning #BoycottMalaysia is in trending. By tonight, #BoycottIndia on the list. Just saying

Big chunk?LOL. 1.93% in year 2018 is not significant. By the way Malaysia has 3.2% share in india tourism. Our tiny country has bigger impact to your's tourism. Shall we start #BoycottIndia instead?#BoycottMalaysia pic.twitter.com/Ro5GJp7CiY

Looks like there is no end to the Twitter war anytime soon, with more and more hatred pouring in by the minute.
