Chapter 312: Malaysian Customs

"We Chinese are very hardworking, have a strong desire, want to get a happy life through their own efforts, when I went to study in China, my classmates, they are very young, and I talk about future dreams, they are full of enthusiasm and vision, from their eyes to see the desire for success!"

"This has impressed me very much, Chinese young people are very eager to succeed, to realize their personal value, they hope that they can find a job, can work diligently to get an income, some young people have a lively mind, but also do their own side business, have their own hobbies, can also have additional income. ”

"Whenever I talk to these students about their dreams in life, they are full of energy, their eyes are full of confidence, and I am deeply affected, compared to them, I don't have any big plans in Malaysia, I always feel content with the status quo, which is very similar to Xiao Yang who developed in Cambodia. ”

"The reason why Xiao Yang's family doesn't value material things and chooses to develop in Cambodia is that they don't have to work so hard for material things, they can stay in one place safely, guard the restaurant opened by Uncle Yang, and the family can have food and clothing, and they are very satisfied. ”

"Between people, the values are different, the choice of different lifestyles, and the living conditions are also different!"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, I think you young people have different personalities, Xiao Yang people are very simple, when I went to Cambodia, Uncle Yang and Xiao Yang were very warm to me, Uncle Yang also invited us to eat in the restaurant he opened, get along with them, easy and no pressure, communicate with him, I was also infected by them, and I can understand why they chose to develop in Cambodia." ”

Xiao Zhao is more trendy and fashionable, dressed and Xiao Yang's traditional conservative dressing style is different, Xiao Zhao's clothing, it is more fresh and fashionable, bold and avant-garde, dare to show his personality, he chose to stay in Singapore to develop, Singapore attaches great importance to environmental protection, littering will be heavily fined, such a law, for a long time, let everyone develop a good habit of loving cleanliness and paying attention to protecting the environment, there are still many places worth learning from us. ”

"Xiao Fang also left a deep impression on me, your clothes are between Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhao, more fashionable than Xiao Yang, and more conservative than Xiao Zhao. ”

Xiao Fang smiled, "Yes, although Malaysia has also been influenced by some European and American pop music, many restaurants and bars use Western musical instruments to play, and it is rare to see Malaysian traditional musical instruments, but Malaysian young people still have reservations about those who are too fashion-forward and different from the public's dressing style. ”

"A person lives in society, it is impossible to say that you don't care about what others think of you, people still have social attributes, and their behavior still has to meet the standards and requirements of society, and I don't want to wear avant-garde and exaggerated clothes like Xiao Zhao, I think dare to show your personality, and don't use your appearance to show, sometimes you can use your knowledge and talent to show, tactful, more acceptable. ”

"We Chinese are well-known for being diligent in the world, but there are still many foreigners who think why are you so diligent?"

"It is difficult for them to understand why Chinese do not have holidays, get up early and be greedy, save money for food, and save money for their children, and they are not willing to spend money, but send their children to tutoring classes with high tuition fees?"

"This is what many foreigners do not understand, they do not understand the desire of Chinese people for success, want to change their fate through their own efforts, if they cannot change their fate in reality, but also let their children's fate change, live a better and happier life, this is the lifelong pursuit of Chinese, many parents have tried their best." ”

"Next, I would like to introduce you to the customs of Malaysia, I would like to let the domestic audience know more, the Chinese who want to come to Malaysia to do business, must first understand some of the customs of the Malays, our family has lived in Malaysia for so many years, has accumulated some experience, if you know these customs, in the process of doing business and communicate with the locals, it will be easier, but also increase more affinity. ”

"We experienced people know that to do business, you have to be a person first, so that others can trust you and understand you in order to cooperate with you. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, you're right, we're also curious about the customs here, so you can tell everyone!"

"Well, Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country, and in this land of beautiful scenery and abundant products, people of all ethnic groups have come together to form a strange and unique customs. ”

"Let's talk about the Malay etiquette first, the Malay greeting ceremony is very unique, they rub each other's palms, and then put their palms together and touch their hearts to greet each other. ”

"Malays are warm and welcoming, usually served with pastries, tea, coffee and ice water, and guests must eat a little to show their warmth and kindness, and if they do not eat or drink, the host considers them disrespectful. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "This is the same as our Chinese habits, if the guest is fake polite to me, does not accept my things, and always rejects me, I will definitely not be in a good mood, and I don't want to talk to him more!"

"People always need a sense of identity, and they will choose to socialize, cooperate, and do business with people who identify with themselves, so that they can develop for a long time!"

"Malaysians do not ask guests to give gifts, but if they give their hosts some daily food items such as coconut, betel nut, bananas, pastries, biscuits, sweets, etc., it is a sign of friendship. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "I have also heard that Malaysians especially have a deep affection for betel nut, and many festivals and etiquette are related to betel nut!"

Xiao Fang nodded, "Yes, Malays are non-smoking, do not eat pork, dead things or animal blood, usually like to drink coffee, black tea and other drinks, and also love to chew betel nut." ”

"Malays eat rice as much as we do, but they have a stronger taste than we do, and they like to eat spicy dishes, especially beef curry. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, I also feel this way when I go to Thailand, I feel that Thai curry and Malaysian curry are spicier than our domestic curry, when I first came, I was not used to eating it, I felt spicy, my tongue was uncomfortable, and I needed to drink some water to reduce the spicy taste." ”

Xiao Fang smiled, "Malaysians' staple food is mainly rice, glutinous rice pastry, turmeric rice, durian rice, as well as Malay palm made of coconut milk and glutinous rice, bamboo rice, this is their specialty, when you come, I will take you to the local restaurant to taste Malaysian food." ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "It's really distinctive, it's my first time in Malaysia, it's quite fresh, and I still like to try different cuisines." ”
