    Business is conducted in a formal and professional manner in Malaysia. Business dress is formal; though due to the heat, lightweight materials are best and jackets can be removed. When in doubt, dress conservatively and be aware that yellow is the color reserved for royalty and should be avoided. Malaysians should be greeted using the full name and title. Business cards should be given and received using both hands and should be treated with respect. Handshakes are fairly common, though one should wait to see if greeted with a hand, or a namaste - a traditional greeting of a small bow accompanied by hands clasped as if in prayer. Visitors should return the greeting. Business hours can vary, but are usually from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm Saturdays. Some businesses follow an Islamic week and are therefore are open Sundays to Thursdays.
