Fig Sign
Fig Sign Gesture Can Cause Offense in Some Countries
A hand gesture which involved a formation of a fist with the thumb tucked under the index finger is used by children when playing “Got Your Nose”. The fig sign gesture otherwise doesn't have much meaning to it, but you wouldn't want to use it other countries such as Turkey because it's means middle finger to that country.

Introduction
Hand gesture is the most popular in Malaysia that without many people noticed. Actually, almost every day Malaysia citizen used this sign in their life. In other hand, people called it as a Sign Language.
When visiting Malaysia, the visitor should understand the local customs and practices.
Although handshakes generally suffice for both men and women, some conservative Muslim ladies may acknowledge an introduction with a gentleman with a nod of her head and smile. A handshake is only to be reciprocated if the lady offers her hand first. The traditional Malay greeting of "salam" resembles a handshake with both hands but without the grasp. The man offers both hands, lightly touches his friend's outstretched hands, and then brings his hands to his chest to mean, " I greet you from my heart". The visitor should reciprocate the "salam". “Salam” is not practiced by the rest of the community though, so a normal handshake will do.
