History of Malaysia
A geographically truncated Malaysia emerged out of the
territories colonized by Britain in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries.
Britain was attracted to the Malay peninsula by its vast
reserves of tin, and later found that the rich soil was alsohighly productive for growing rubber trees.
Malaysia was established in September 1963 through the
union of the Independent Federation of Malay.
The theme of Malaysian is One Malaysiawhich
indicates the Malaysian as number one.

24/53
Communication:
Bahasa Melayu is the official language of Malaysia. Although most
government officials speak English also.
English spoken in Malaysia often has unique pronunciations, syntax, and
grammar, which can lead to misunderstandings. It is often good to spend time going through the social pleasantries before
discussing any actual business issues.
A vital element of Malaysian culture, as with most Asian cultures, is the
concept of lose face and save face.
Malaysians prefer the words as less important and put attention on voicetone, body language, eye-contact and facial expressions.
Suitable topics of conversation would be family, sport (especially soccer),
your impressions of Malaysia, your organisation, future plans etc. Topics
to avoid might be politics, religion and ethnic tensions in Malaysia.

Dining Etiquette:
One should take off shoes and clean feet at the entrance.
The most senior member sits at the head of the table, which is usually farthest
away from the entrance to the room.
The host of the business function is to order all dishes for the party.
Beverages are not to be served before dinner, and are to be accepted with both
hands. And most importantly alcohol is avoided as a muslim based country. Both Muslims and Hindus believe that the left hand is unclean. For this reason,
eating and passing items to another must be done with the right hand.
The guest should not start eating before the hosts signal to eat.
Do not chew and talk at the same time. Take each morsel in small bites and do not
swallow in big bites. If you tasted something and did not like it, do not place it back in the communal
dish. Put it aside your own plate.
If service was exceptionally good, leaving the change from your paid bill will
suffice as an additional tip.

Women in Business
Gender equality is stronger in Malaysia than in many other Asian countries.
Quite a few women can be found in leadership positions, and they generallyhold positions that are more influential and enjoy more respect than elsewhere.
Malay women may not shake hands with men. Women can of course shakehands with women. Men may also not shake hands with women and may bowinstead while placing their hand on their heart.
Visiting businesswomen should have few problems in the country as long asthey act professionally in business and social situations.

Analysis Using Hofstedes Cultural Dimensions
There is a high correlation between the Muslim religion and the Hofstede Dimensionsof Power Distance (PDI) and Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI) scores.
When these two Dimensions are combined, it creates a situation where leaders havevirtually ultimate power and authority, and the rules, laws and regulations developed by
those in power, reinforce their own leadership and control.
Power Distance Index (PDI)High
Individualism (IDV)Low
Masculinity (MAS)- Average
Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI)- Moderately-Low

DONT assume that a signed contract signifies a final
agreement. It is common for negotiations to continueafter a contract has been signed.
DONT be surprised if your Malaysian counterparts askwhat you may consider to be personal questions. InMalaysia, asking people about their weight, income andmarital status for example, is not uncommon and is
viewed as an acceptable approach to initialconversations.
DONT enter into business with a Malaysian companywithout a letter of introduction from a bank or mutualacquaintance. This will help your request for a futuremeeting, as Malaysians prefer to conduct business with
those they are familiar with.
