GIFT GIVING IN MALAYSIA
BUSINESS GIFT GIVING / PERSONAL GIFT GIVING
•Gifts are usually reserved for friends. Before giving a gift of any kind, you must first establish a personal relationship with the recipient. Otherwise, the gift may very well be perceived as a bribe.
•The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency has exceptionally strict laws against bribery. Moreover, giving a gift that seems too generous may be interpreted as a bribe and could get you in trouble with the authorities.
•It's a good idea to select a modest, inexpensive gift so that the recipient won't feel obligated to you. Also, when receiving a gift, take care not to reciprocate with one of greater value compared to the present you received.
•Gifts are not opened in front of the giver. Opening presents alone allows both the giver and recipient to “save face.” There is a cultural belief that the giver and recipient may be embarrassed if the gift turns out to be a poor choice.
•A gift should be received in both hands, palms facing upwards.
