Every county has a different religion .. different culture ,,and with these cultures comes different Belief System ,
Let me tell you some of the belief system found in Malaysia ,
If u happen to travel in Malaysia please go through this do's and dont's this will help you a lot .. in understanding their culture better ...

> Malaysians are mostly a tolerant people.

> It is considered rude to wear sunglasses when talking to people. This is pretty much prevalent in many Asian countries. Taking off your sunglasses as you approach for conversation helps greatly.

> It's also considered taboo to dress too provocatively, especially for women. Shorts and t-shirts are alright, singlets if it's too hot. Too many travellers forget that Malaysia is a Muslim country.

> Physical contact should be kept to a minimum when with a local, if you're not close to him/her. Slap on the backs and that sort are usually resented.

> The drinking of alcohol is forbidden by Muslims, so take care not to offer any to followers, even as an act of friendship. Same goes for gambling. Do not gamble in public or in private.

So always follow these do's and dont's and respect their culture, in the same way you would like others to follow it for you !!

  3. Those are pretty good insights, Rushikesh :) Here are a few more:

    - As you enter, leave a place or pass by someone, you can bow a little while you walk as a sign of saying "excuse me."
    - If possible, do refrain from touching other people’s top portion of the head.
    - Refrain from excessive displays of affection in public places.
    - Try to avoid touching someone of the opposite sex if you are not familiar with them.
    - Always use your right hand while eating, handing things over or touching people.
    - It's cool to eat with your hands in Malay and Indian eateries. Try it, it's interesting!
