The electronic Travel Registration & Information (eNTRI) is a visa exemption program for Indian and Chinese nationals to facilitate tourism.

Doing business in a foreign country entails you do some research as to what customs that particular country had. That is because each nation has its own business etiquette, and in order to call your business trip a successful one, you need to follow it. Some of the things that you learn may seem a bit odd, while others may be quite simple. Whatever the case, you need to make sure that you know what is what. Malaysia is no different, and there are some things that you must keep in mind when you want to close a deal with a Malaysian company. Hopefully, the tips below will make things a bit clearer for you. The first thing that you need to remember is that Malaysia is a diverse country, and the companies may have Chinese, India, and of course, Malay employees. You cannot treat them all the same since all of them has their own culture. That is why you must know precisely who you are going to meet during your business trip. Depending on the nationality of the people present at the meeting, you need to adopt particular conduct. We are going to start with the Malay people. You should know that most Malay are Muslim, so when you enter a room, your greeting must not contain any form of physical contact. That rule applies especially if the person you are meeting is a woman. It is customary to let them initiate a handshake. If that does not happen, do not get offended. Physical contact is just not their thing. Plus, if you extend your hand, for example, to a woman, she will put her hand on her chest. Whether she feels offended or not, it is entirely up to her, but it is best if you avoid this type of situation. As for meeting with Malay, you will be expected to come right on time or even earlier. However, they may not reciprocate. Even so, it is customary for Malay people to be late. Do not take it personally. Once everyone is present, do not expect for the meeting to start right away. Malay people like to have some small talk before the matters of the order of business are discussed. That usually lasts just a few minutes, and the head of the delegation will start the meeting shortly. Moving on to the Chinese people you will find in Malaysia, you should have an easy time learning the rules. For starters, Chinese people do not object physical contact, and you can shake their hands, no matter if the delegation includes male and female employees. They like punctuality, but they are most likely going to be late for your meeting. Again, that is not personal. However, during the meeting, Chinese people are very well prepared and on point. You are expected to be the same. That is why you must go through thorough preparation before having a meeting with the Chinese. Lastly, you may come across some Indian people in Malaysia. With them, it is just as simple as with the Chinese. Indians have nothing against physical contact, and you may extend your hand for a handshake. However, not all women are comfortable with that, so it is best if you wait for the other person to initiate it. In some cases, a simple head nod is an accepted form of greeting. As for the meeting itself, Indians like to talk about other things at the beginning of the meeting. They like to have a relaxed atmosphere. Just like Malay people, Indians hate being left to wait, but they will not be punctual. Even if these three cultures are different, there are some similarities as well. For one thing, all of them will expect you to hand a business card once you are introduced. It is customary to have your card translated into all present languages so that all the participants can understand. So, if your business partners are Chinese, your business card should have a Chinese translation on the back. At the same time, when you hand your business card, make sure that you offer it with your name facing upward. Gift giving is another common practice. However, you need to be extra careful with that. You cannot give about anything, and some cultures are a whole lot different than your own. For example, a Chinese business person will refuse your gift at least three times before accepting it. You need to keep insisting until the gift is received. Also, never offer an Indian an item that has leather. Most Indians are vegan, and their sacred animal is the cow. Giving something made of leather is highly offensive. As for communication, it is not a must for you to speak the language. That is why interpreters exist. However, if you want to impress your new business partners, you can learn a few expressions. You do not have to struggle with lessons or anything. It is enough to memorize some greeting formulas and everyday words such as please and thank you. It may not be much, but it shows some effort and respect. The key to any successful business meeting is to be polite and to understand that there are cultural differences. Just because someone speaks loudly, it does not mean that they are raising their voice. The lack of saying anything is not ignorance. The point is that not everyone conducts business the same way, and as long as you can get past that, surely you will have a successful trip. As you can see, Malaysia does not have out of the ordinary business etiquette. The only thing that you may find tricky is that the country is diverse and there are different rules in every culture. But even so, that should not be challenging for anyone, let alone a business person who is seeking to expand his or her business abroad. Plus, learning new things such as the tips above is interesting, and you only need to go through one or two meetings until you get the hang of it.
