Malaysia.

 

With the exception of handshakes, there is no public contact between the sexes in Malaysia. Hugging and kissing — even between husbands and wives — is dis­couraged in public.

Conversely, physical contact between people of the same sex is perfectly acceptable. You'll likely observe men holding hands with men or even walking with their arms around each other. Moreover, these actions are interpreted strictly as gestures of friendship.

When meeting a Malay you may be extended a hand for shaking; sometimes, the person may choose to greet you with a cultural Malay greeting called a "namaste".

When you are being introduced to a Malaysian wom­an, be sure to shake hands with her only if she has ex­tended her hand. If she does not extend her hand, a smile and a nod will be the gesture you should use to greet her. Moreover, the namaste is a respectful gesture that should be granted to women of all races.

Just as in most other countries, when presenting a higher-ranking person to a more junior person the sen­ior person's name is said first.

Keep your hands out of your pockets when in public.

When you must indicate something or someone, use the entire right hand (palm out).

To beckon someone hold your hand out, palm downward, and make a scooping motion with the fin­gers.

It is considered rude to point at anyone with the forefinger. Moreover, Malays use the forefinger only to point at animals.

When passing an object, reaching for something or touching someone (such as shaking hands) do so with your right hand. The left hand is considered unclean and should not be used in contact with others to eat or to pass things. This rule applies even if you are left-handed.

Outbursts of laughter are not always indicative of amusement in Malaysian business culture. More often, laughter is used to mask “loss of face”, nervousness, shyness or disapproval.

You are not expected to tip a taxi driver. When paying your fare, however, insist that the driver keep any remaining change in coins.

You are expected to tip porters; one ringgit per piece of luggage is sufficient. It will also be appreciated if you give a tip of 50 sen to those who provide hotel room service for you.

Be aware that Kuala Lumpur, the capital city, has harsh penalties against littering.

 

Note:

Ringgit =100 Sen- ринггит= 100 сенам (малазийский доллар)
