Pandemics are generally a risk with high exposure. As insurance premiums will commensurate with the risk exposure, insurance premiums will naturally be higher if a pandemic is covered,” it said. “Higher premium may affect consumers’ affordability and accessibility to essential medical health insurance protection,” it added. ...

Look like something sweet on the way! 03/03/2021 6:15 PM hazli KUALA LUMPUR (March 11): A majority of life insurance companies in the country are extending financial assistance to their policyholders who may develop side effects or complications resulting in hospitalisation from Covid-19 vaccinations. Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM) said the coverage includes hospitalisations costs that were medically necessary and reasonable due to side effects from COVID-19 vaccination under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme. A number of life insurance companies are also offering cash relief programme for side effects under their respective Covid-19 vaccine fund or medical assistance programme,” it said in a statement today. It said the assistance includes reimbursement of medical bills for Covid-19 patients and post Covid-19 vaccination support for hospitalisation due to vaccine side effects; medical assistance and special death benefits; hospitalisation income; and cash relief. Chief executive officer Mark O’Dell advised policyholders to contact their insurance company to find out more about the assistance offered in the event that they may develop side effects due to the Covid-19 vaccine. While applauding the government’s proactive efforts to protect the rakyat, he also urged Malaysians to play their part in the COVID-19 battle by registering for the immunisation programme via the MySejahtera application. 12/03/2021 1:00 PM VivoPrince @peng01 Very likely in view up upward price movement even amid bearish market sentiment. 02/04/2021 5:11 PM Kalaihselvan Krishnan Why can’t they just publish when to expect the results out? Is it against the law? I see US companies are very transparent. In Malaysia it’s like a surprise 22/07/2021 12:24 PM Sarah87 For non financial institution yes. But for LPI cant, because it is a financial institution which need to get the approval from BNM for their QR first before it can be released. 22/07/2021 4:44 PM VivoPrince 8.42% rise in net profit for 2Q FY 2021 (to RM109.89 mil) and 29 sen dividend/share. 05/08/2021 12:57 PM Lawman LPI steady as always. Dividend ex-date on August 20th. PBT increased about 10% compared to Q1. Claims incurred ratio also going even lower to 35.8% payout which is basically unheard of for Malaysian insurance. 05/08/2021 3:48 PM greenshoot As cars stood idle in people’s driveways and roads were largely deserted during the Covid-19 lockdown (MCO), the number of claims made on motor insurance policies fell sharply. 09/08/2021 6:32 PM unicornbird Most of LPI profit comes from Fire insurance. Do you think this model is sustainable? because their fire insurance is bundled with public bank mortgage, and sell at high mark up. If government start to regulate them, will LPI profit fall drastically? 06/09/2021 7:38 AM Lawman Fire insurance is mandatory every single year to be paid by every single condo owner. How often does a condo unit ever burn down? Worthwhile reading below. https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2020/02/18/fire-insurance-review-would-not-be-overly-detrimental-to-lpi LPI is one of those companies you can just buy and forget about, and just keep collecting dividends far higher than your bank FD rate. The best listed insurance company in Malaysia, always profitable rain or shine and consistent dividend payer. Sadly, it no longer has the 15-20%+ compounded annual growth it used to have 10 years ago - mainly just a dividend stock now. 14/09/2021 10:21 PM unicornbird Lawman thank you for the good article on fire insurance. the problem here is that LPI's fire insurance price is much higher than Great eastern. Public bank bundle LPI fire insurance into their mortgage and force borrowers to buy it at about 50% more expensive than market rate. If bank negara allow borrowers to freely choose their fire insurer, then LPI could suffer? 19/09/2021 2:07 PM Lawman unicornbird Okay so LPI Gross Written Premiums for Fire insurance in 2020 accounts for 41% of total premiums but accounts for the lions share of underwriting surplus at ~64%. I don't really benchmark between the various insurance providers but it seems that fire insurance only amounts to about RM100+ or less for a typical KL condo per year. This is based on amounts I have been paying for my KL condo properties which non seem to use LPI as the master fire insurance provider. Not sure how price sensitive customers are as typically condo management committee will be the ones who chooses which insurance provider to use and get a master fire insurance title for the whole condo building. Public Bank bundling mortgage with fire insurance will go on unless government makes a law against this type of practice but in the meantime LPI will keep benefiting as Public Bank customers will keep using the LPI insurance. 19/09/2021 10:03 PM Lawman So I think issues on fire insurance are quite negligible to LPIs earnings for at least the near/mid term. What is more pressing is that Tan Sri owns ~44% of LPI and at age 91 nobody or at least very few know what will happen in the future to these controlling shares. Who will take over the 44% ownership of LPI and how will LPI management and structure/culture be at that time.... 19/09/2021 10:08 PM unicornbird Lawman thank you for sharing your experience. the founder's age is also my main concern about buying into LPI & Public bank. they may be taken over by other shareholders which can't manage well. Fire insurance can be extremely price sensitive, as we move into digital age. they could be bundled into Grab's / Lazada's online packages. LPI benefit currently from gov's ignorance, but don't think the situation will remain for long. Everyone eyeing the fat pie I dislike also about LPI's focus on fire. If they have more diversified like life insurance, hospitalization, etc. At least they can buffer for shocks 21/09/2021 1:57 PM  | |
