Social Responsibility

Insurance Day, 2006 - Healthy Living Campaign
In conjunction with the celebration of Insurance Day on 27th July 2006 and as part of the Association's corporate social responsibility policy, a three-month long Healthy Living Campaign was launched to promote and maintain personal wellness through appropriate early detection tests including blood screening tests. The campaign involved collaboration with Pathlab Malaysia, which offered healthscreening tests at discounted prices throughout its branches nationwide. The discounts were redeemable by producing discount vouchers which were distributed with educational flyers on health insurance to all the policyholders of member companies and members of the public.

The Healthy Living Campaign also provided a platform to create more awareness about health insurance products and its benefits through public educational materials.

Aid to Flood Victims
Thousands of families were affected by the floods in the southern and east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia which occurred in December 2006 and then again in January 2007. The state of Johor was the most badly affected area in the country. Many organizations in the country had provided aid to the flood victims. The Association in an effort to lessen the burden of the families affected by this disaster has approved financial aid amounting to RM50,000 to be donated to some 50 low income families affected by the floods.

Industry-wide statistics compiled by PIAM, indicate that the sum insured exposures to the insurance industry was as much as RM96 billion. However, the actual intimations of claims amount to RM180 million and claims paid up to end-March 2007 amount to RM51 million.

Media Education Workshop on Medical and Health Insurance
PIAM organized a media education workshop for representatives from the media on 20th June 2006 on the topic of Medical and Health Insurance. MHI experts from the insurance industry were invited to share information on medical and health insurance issues with the media. It is hoped that, equipped with this additional knowledge and insights, media reporters and journalists will be able to report more extensively and accurately on this class of business and thereby help convey the positive aspects of MHI to the public.

Donations to Charity Homes
The Association hosted and jointly organized the Insurance Industry Annual Dinner 2006 with other industry associations i.e. LIAM, MTA,MITBA and AMLA. The proceeds from the annual dinner were donated to two deserving charitable organizations i.e. the Rumah Hope Education Fund and the Budimas Charitable Foundation on 22nd March 2007.
