PETALING JAYA: A group of aggrieved Indonesians protested in front of the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta on Friday over ownership of delicious spring roll delicacy, the popiah.

Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim uploaded two images of the protest on his official Twitter account @dzahrain, showing a crowd of demonstrators holding up placards and calling for the "lumpia", which is the Indonesian version of the popiah, to be "saved".
