As a general rule, address persons by their title and their surname as using first names is not very common. Many Malaysians, however, do not have surnames. They often use their father's name adding it to their surname with the term “bin” meaning “son of”. The term applying to women is “binti”. In cases where the surname is missing you can use the first name together with a “Mr.” or “Mrs.”
The same rule applies to Indians therefore use their first name together with a “Mr.” or “Mrs” or the respective title.
Address Chinese business partners with their title and their surname or simply with”Mr” and “Mrs”.
Some Malaysians have been conferred a title by the government. These are usually “Tun”, “Tan Sri”, “Dato” and “Datuk”. If you know the title, use it!
