Shaking hands

Shaking hands

From Kompas

I felt sick at the way House of Representatives Speaker Akbar Tandjung shook hands with Anoop Singh, the deputy director of the International Monetary Fund for the Asia Pacific region, with one hand in his pocket. It was an impolite, pompous and arrogant act. Where is the politeness, modesty, hospitality and warmness of this nation that we are all proud of?

When shaking hands, it is only polite to look at the other person's face and say "How are you" with a smile.
