Part One Reading(15 points)
Malaysians value personal relationships and they prefer to meet face-to-face rather than communicate online.
During your first meeting with your business partners in Malaysia, exchanging business cards is something to look forward to. The level of respect you have for your Malaysian business partners can be reflected in the way you handle business cards. It is advisable to use both hands when you accept and present business cards. After receiving a business card, you should read the information on the card carefully. You should also avoid carrying the card in the back pocket of your trousers.
Business negotiations in Malaysia tend to be long and start off with a lot of small talk. As the relationship progresses, the amount of doubt and mistrust should decrease. So when negotiating with your Malaysian business partners, you should not expect any decisions to be reached in the initial talks, which are primarily about establishing relationships.
As a result,it is not worth pressuring your Malaysian business partners during the negotiation, as decisions are made only after a very detailed analysis of all the facts and consulting all the relevant members and leadership. Consequently, it is important for you to remain patient when doing business with your Malaysian business partners.
The Malaysian business negotiation style could be generally described as the following: calm and diplomatic, restraint in speech and physical gestures, and not being too snappy. It would be considered rude to reject the Malaysian's offer immediately because in Malaysia, rejecting an idea can be interpreted as rejecting the person who made it. You should also refrain from interrupting or expressing displeasure through facial expressions during the negotiation. Malaysians usually avoid giving negative response, even if they disagree with the other party's proposal. Bad news is also given in a very indirect way through the use of implicated information. Therefore, when negotiating with your Malaysian business partners, you should focus on their hesitant hints, and pay close attention to their voice tones, facial expressions, body language, etc.
Relationships with business partners in Malaysia are based on mutual respect. Take the time to build productive business relationships with your Malaysian business partners. The initial meetings are generally oriented towards developing this relationship, which will be maintained throughout and after the negotiations.

We can't allow you to attend the conference in Sept.,Mark.Perhaps you didn't know that the budget planning meetings are scheduled for that month.
Your expertise is needed here to help keep our telecommunications network on schedule. Without you, the entire system-which is shaky at best - might fall apart. I'm sorry to have to refuse your request to attend the conference. I know this is small thanks for the fine work you have done for us. Please accept my humble apologies.
In the spring I'm sure your work schedule will be lighter, and we can release you to attend a conference at that time.
