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.

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
