MEETINGS AND GREETINGS
Between men, ethnic Malays shake hands
Men and women do not traditionally shake hands, since
Muslim men do not touch women in public.
Younger Malays may shake hands with foreign women, but it ismore appropriate to use the 'salaam' (bowing the head)
greeting. This is also the greeting to be used when two women
meet
Ethnic Indians shake hands with members of the same sex.
When being introduced to someone of the opposite sex,
nodding the head and smiling is usually sufficient.
