Left or Right Hand? Do Not Use Your Left Hand!

Ethics about manners different between a State with other States even differ between one region to another.

In Indonesia, you should use your right hand to give something to others. Receiving or giving something to someone else with your left hand can be interpreted as attitude was not appreciate even would offend feelings.

Even, if we are in the area of West Sumatra, there was the no written warning and has been be understood for local communities "do not ever to stop public transport with left hand!". For people who do not understand (read: immigrant) if it is doing, do not expect to be transported in public transport. Driver was offended and did not want to stop the car. Although we are on the right track or at the bus stop though. Passenger can stop public car anywhere, even the passenger can stop the public car in front of their house, in the centers of the crowd, or anywhere passenger wanna, except which prohibited place to stop.

It's right if you think, left hand has done a lot of heavy duty extraordinary and rarely done by most of the right hand of Indonesian society. Try to imagine a variety of difficult tasks that must be performed by the left hand. The left hand was always order to do things less comfortable. Like take the trash or wipe the waste water.

While right hand assigned to write, feed the food in mouth, or receive money. Then what about the politic money? Of course, the right hand task was also to receive ... Well this is one proof, it turns out the left hand is not used to receive "errors" even doing a noble task is not it?
