the locals objecting are the rulers, who make the law. Expats dont make the law.

Now you've got your terms correct. 'Law' I agree with, 'culture and customs', no. In a society where 80% of the women may want to go topless by the pool, but none do because it is against the law, not going topless isn't part of the culture, it's just following the law.
