In Malaysia, touching the head of a person is considered to be rude and disrespectful.

People here believe that the head is where the soul lies. The head is also considered the most important and holy part of the body, and is not supposed to be touched. This is also true for the Buddha’s statue, and true for all Malays. All this, however, does not apply to close friends and family. But, seeking permission before touching the head or ruffling the hair is always better.
