Kuala Lumpur Business Pulse

Culture Multicultural and professional. Values harmony and respect.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Longer on Fridays).
Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. On Fridays, avoid the 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM window due to congregational prayers. Malaysia is multicultural (Malay, Chinese, Indian); be respectful of varying religious observances and holidays. Business is generally professional, polite, and consensus-oriented.

New York City Business Pulse

Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
