After weeks with the Strait of Hormuz on everyone’s lips, the Strait of Malacca comes into view after a suggestion from an Indonesian minister that it tax shipping traffic. As one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, with a huge share of global trade and energy passing through it, any ambiguity over its status has consequences.

So the question is - who really gets to decide what happens?
