V. Local Customs and Regulations
Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy and is composed of three major ethnic groups: Malays, Chinese and Indians. More than 90% of Malays believe in Islam, Chinese mostly believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and Indians believe in Hinduism. The Constitution of Malaysia explicitly states that Islam is the official religion of Malaysia. Muslims in Malaysia are mostly Sunni. The customs of the Chinese and Indians are basically the same as those of their country of origin. Malay customs are very unique.
(I) Address
The Malays do not have a fixed surname, so they are not addressed by their surname. The Malay name can be divided into two parts, the first part is their name, separated by "bin" or "binti", which is sometimes omitted. The second part is their father's name. Men: "bin" (pronounced bin) is used in the middle, while women use "binti" (pronounced binti).
Informally, the more intimate way to address a younger man is Adik or dik (pronounced dish or disk), meaning brother or sister, and the name may be omitted. Men of older grades may be addressed as Pakcik (pronounced Ba Qi), meaning uncle, and women as Makcik (pronounced Ma Qi), meaning aunt.
In everyday situations, men are addressed with Encik (pronounced: Enjai) plus name, meaning Mr. So-and-so, and women are addressed with Cik (pronounced: Jie) plus name, meaning Ms. So-and-so.
On more formal occasions, Tuan (Tuan) is used to honor men, and Puan (Bu Beng) is used to honor women. In addition, the person who has a title can be honored directly by the title or title plus name. For example, Datuk (Dato'), Tan Sri (Tan Sri) and so on.
(2) Greetings
The traditional Malay greeting is very unique. They hold each other's hands and rub them against each other, then point their right hand towards their heart. For women who do not know each other well, they should not just reach out and ask for a handshake, the man should nod his head or bow slightly to the woman, and take the initiative to give a verbal greeting. However, the Western-style handshake is now the most common form of greeting in Malaysia, and can be used by Malays, Chinese and Indians alike.
(3) Eating
The Malays avoid eating pork and drinking alcohol. If you see a large kettle on the dining table in a Malay restaurant, don't mistake it for a teapot filled with drinking water, in fact, the water inside is used to wash your hands. Generally, Malays use their right hand to grab food to eat, so washing hands before and after eating is a Malay table manners.

Chinese nationals coming to Malaysia to work and study should apply through proper channels. The normal procedure is as follows: companies or schools with legal operating rights in Malaysia apply for positions in advance to the Immigration Department and other competent authorities, and upon approval of the positions, the Immigration Department will notify the embassies and consulates in the locations of the Chinese nationals to issue short-term ordinary visas. Upon arrival in Malaysia, the applicant then exchanges the ordinary visa for a work or student visa. The Malaysian government currently only allows Chinese professionals to work in Malaysia, while other labor markets such as construction and service industries are not open to Chinese nationals. Chinese nationals should be vigilant to prevent being cheated by illegal agents, which could result in huge financial and emotional losses.
