PETALING JAYA: Hearing daily about someone – a friend, family member, or co-worker – directly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic is now commonplace for most of us.
Over 8000km away, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine unexpectedly became yet another wakeup call highlighting the fragility of life for all citizens globally. Closer to home, the recent heavy rainfall and flash floods are a harsh reminder that even predictable seasonal weather can produce unforeseen freak events that may negatively impact our lives within minutes.
Unanticipated emergencies and accidents are most often accompanied by a sudden and relatively heavy financial burden. Most budgets are already constrained by our ever-increasing living expenses and more often than not, we are left completely unprepared for the associated monetary costs in the event of a crisis.

The uncomfortable truth is that many of us are only one accident or hospital stay away from financial catastrophe.
Yet, despite the availability of affordable options, studies have shown that about half of all Malaysians still remain uninsured and thus are at great risk.
Getting insured is rarely treated with any urgency until it’s too late. But all excuses aside, the risks of being saddled with insurmountable debt gets statistically larger each and every day that one remains uninsured.
Whether you are in need of motor vehicle, life, or medical coverage, numerous insurance or protection plan options are available in the marketplace to help greatly reduce one’s risk.
Takaful is one such alternative representing an increasingly popular choice favoured for its principle-driven business model and availability to all Malaysians, irrespective of faith or belief.
Insurance and takaful provider Etiqa has been amassing consumer confidence, reflected by their consistent positive growth since 2019. As the first company to market Motor Takaful online in 2009, industry data from Insurance Services Malaysia (ISM) reported that Etiqa General Takaful Bhd maintained a commanding 68% share of the Malaysian online Takaful market in 2021.
With the days of in-person appointments slowly fading away in favour of more efficient alternatives, getting insured today only takes a few minutes using Etiqa’s website.
Equipped with an Extended Validation Secure Sockets Layer (EV SSL), Etiqa’s online portal provides the highest trust level and is the industry standard, where protecting your data and privacy ranks equally as high as protecting you and your loved ones.
Signing up directly from the secured website will enable a savings of an extra 10% to 25%, direct rebate as per guided by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
Etiqa Family Takaful Bhd CEO Zafri Ab Halim and Etiqa General Takaful Bhd CEO Shahrul Azuan Mohamed said with the increased rate of digitalisation in the country, the online channel has become a convenient way in which customers are able to research, evaluate and subscribe to their Family or General Takaful plans.
“In addition, the experience of subscribing to these plans at Etiqa is Fast & Easy, as we try to simplify the process as much as possible by reducing the number of steps that it takes to own a Takaful plan.”
“We hope that by making more Family and General Takaful plans accessible to customers through our digital channel, we will be able to improve the uptake of Takaful plans, and in turn increase the penetration rate of Takaful in Malaysia.”
With extensive coverage options that can be tailored to exactly what you want and need, every Malaysian can now access excellent coverage, while safely staying within their budget. Taking just a few minutes, the seamless signup process online is not only stress-free, but a complete departure from the traditionally invasive and time-consuming deep dive into your personal and health-related details.
Aside from the ease of the signup process, another unique perk is the instant activation of your coverage. Those familiar with the traditionally long wait times involved in between applying and receiving insurance certificates, will be ecstatic to receive their copy immediately by email, safely ensuring that no coverage gaps exist.
And to further ensure that no questions are left unanswered, a 24/7 live chat is available to help with queries about products, services, or even concerns regarding any claims. It’s comforting to know that in a period of uncertainty, protecting your family, assets, and well-being has never been easier.
