Customs and Traditions
Singaporean youth are increasingly westernised, however the older generation may still still adhere to cultural traditions. Here are some general cultural norms:
In many cultures it is rude to point with the foot even when the object is on the floor
Use the whole hand to point, as pointing with a finger can be construed as rude
Hand things over with two hands (particularly business cards and money). Offering an item with one hand is construed as off-hand and disrespectful
It is widely accepted as polite to address people older than oneself as "uncle" or "aunty" even if you don't know them
