• Group Orientation
• The family is considered the centre of the social structure.
• As a result there is a great emphasis on unity, loyalty and respect for the elderly.
The family is the place where the individual can be guaranteed both emotional
and financial support.
• When one member of the family suffers a financial setback, the rest of the family
will contribute what they can to help out. Families tend to be extended, although
in the larger cities this will naturally differ.
• The Concept of Face
• Malays, Chinese and Indians all strive to maintain face and avoid shame both in
public and private. Face is a personal concept that embraces qualities such as a
good name, good character, and being held in esteem by one's peers. Face is
considered a commodity that can be given, lost, taken away, or earned. On top
of this face also extends to the family, school, company, and even the nation
itself.
