When my friends and I were on a ferry to Langkawi, we were amused by a sign on board which read "Keep your head!!!". From the Malay version, we understood that the message was for the passengers to Mind their heads. Keeping your head sounds like something from a Victorian movie where the King or Queen would say "Off with your head". So to keep ones head, it would be to ones interest not to get into the bad books of His or Her Royal Highness.
