Contexto cultural
The 'Right Hand Rule' is absolute. Even if you are left-handed, try to use your right hand for transactions to show respect. When giving money to an elder, it is polite to bow slightly and use both hands to present the money or envelope. The term 'Uang Rokok' (cigarette money) is a common euphemism for a small tip to someone who provides a minor service, like helping you park or carrying bags. During Lunar New Year, 'kasih uang' happens via 'Angpao' (red envelopes). It is bad luck to give an amount with the number 4. During the month of Ramadan and Eid, 'kasih uang' is part of 'Zakat' and 'Sedekah' (charity), often given to the poor or children in the neighborhood.
