    This document compares some non-verbal communication differences between the cultures of Malaysia and the Philippines. Three key differences are highlighted: 1. In Malaysia, direct eye contact with people of the opposite gender is avoided out of modesty, and gaze is lowered when speaking to someone older. In the Philippines, maintaining brief and frequent eye contact is important, even if the patient's eye contact is shorter. 2. Physical contact between men and women is generally not permitted in Malaysia, while in the Philippines physical contact like hand-holding between friends and relatives of the same gender signifies affection. 3. While pointing with the finger is considered rude in Malaysia and directions are given with an open hand or thumb, in both cultures
