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.

Shanghai Business Pulse

  • Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
  • Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
