General launches ‘KampungKu’ for it matters to the rural community
Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (“Allianz General”) launched a brand new insurance product, ‘KampungKu’. ‘KampungKu’ is a first of its kind introduced specially for rural area dwellers.
“A home is one of the many important things that
matter most to people. At Allianz, we want to ensure that these are well protected
and taken care of. We realise that people in the city have many choices as
compared to those in rural communities. Living in rural areas does not rule out
one from experiencing flood or fire, hence they should have the adequate
protection too. We want ‘KampungKu’ to reach out to people who need the
coverage as much but may not have access to a variety of products like these,” said
Zakri Khir, CEO of Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad.
‘KampungKu’ is a Basic Material Damage Insurance
product which provides coverage to the rural area homes. In other words, it is a Fire insurance policy with a Flood and
Windstorm extension as an emergency relief benefit for
an affordable premium of only RM70 a year. It is a unique product as it is able
to provide insurance coverage for Class 3 private dwellings or homes made out
of wood. It also has a Personal Accident coverage that covers any one loss for
Accidental Death, Permanent Disablement or Funeral Expenses.
“We hope that through ’KampungKu’ many rural
communities are well protected. At the end of the day, what matters to us is
that we want to give the best and provide results for customers, be it city
folks or ‘kampung’ dwellers,” concluded Zakri.
‘KampungKu’ has been made available since April this
year. For more information on ’KampungKu’, call Allianz Malaysia’s Customer
Contact Centre at 1-300-88-1028 or email customer.service@allianz.com.my
