Malaysia, being a Muslim country, requires attention to certain norms. Read on.
As Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, here are some important cultural considerations:
- Avoid overly familiar gestures in public.
- When visiting temples or mosques, remove shoes, hats, dress modestly, and refrain from touching monks.
- Using the thumb to point is considered disrespectful; use the index finger or the whole hand instead.
- Do not pat others on the head or back.
- When greeting women, wait for them to extend their hand for a handshake.
- In conversation, avoid topics related to the country's culture and politics.
- Ensure your shoes or shoe soles do not touch another person.
