"We are too small to take retaliatory action. We have to find ways and means to overcome that," Mahathir told reporters in Langkawi, a resort island off the western coast of Malaysia.

India, the world’s largest edible oil buyer, this month halted Malaysian palm oil imports after Mahathir’s comments criticising New Delhi over its policy on Kashmir.
