Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
On behalf of the Management Committee,
it is my pleasure to present the Annual Report
of the Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
(LIAM) for the year 2013. Following are some
of the key issues dealt with by the Association
during the year.
A STUDY ON UNDERINSURANCE IN MALAYSIA
As a commitment of the industry to fulfill the
national aspiration of having 75% of the
population to be insured, LIAM engaged
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in June 2013
as its research partner to embark on a study
on underinsurance in Malaysia.
Vincent Kwo
The mortality protection gap is often a true
reflection of the potential demand for life
insurance coverage. The protection gap
refers to the difference between the resources
needed and the resources that would be
available to maintain the living standards of
the dependants following the death of the
primary wage earner.
The result of this study will provide a good insight of the extent of underinsurance among
Malaysian policyholders and the general population and this would assist the industry to
formulate new strategies to reduce the protection gap and to increase the penetration
rate in Malaysia. The study focused on protection, medical and critical illness policies
and covered samples from the 25 to 65 age groups.
DEVELOPMENT OF RETIREMENT PLANNING IN MALAYSIA
Following a meeting with Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Muhammad Ibrahim, Deputy Governor
of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) on 5 February 2013 for the regulators and private sectors
to identify measures that will increase the take-up rate for annuity products, a working
group led by LIAM and comprising representatives from BNM and Malaysian Takaful
Association (MTA) were formed to study the development of retirement planning in
Malaysia.
As part of its fact-find exercise, LIAM organised a meeting with Mr Don Yeo, Deputy Chief
of the Central Provident Fund (CPF) of Singapore on 18 September 2013. At the meeting,
Mr Don Yeo shared the current progress of the retirement market, the choices of
retirement products, the health care system for retirees as well as the CPF pay-out
system in Singapore.

Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
LIAM further organised a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the Employees
Provident Fund (EPF), Yang Berbahagia Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan on 14 November 2013
to present a paper on ‘Malaysia - Preparing for Retirement’ which was prepared by
Ms Brigitte Miksa, Head of Allianz International Pensions, and Editor of Project M magazine.
Some of the key measures discussed in the meeting were the possibility of reviving the EPF
Critical Illness scheme, the introduction of suitable annuity plans and the introduction of
the financial literacy programme for Malaysians. LIAM also requested for the possibility of
extending the Members Investment Scheme (MIS) to include life insurance. Currently, the
MIS is only extended for withdrawals to purchase unit trust.
CONCEPT PAPER ON LIFE INSURANCE AND FAMILY TAKAFUL FRAMEWORK
On 7 November 2013, BNM released a concept paper on Life Insurance and Family Takaful
Framework for public consultation. The framework sets out various proposed liberalized
measures aimed at spurring the penetration rate of insurance and takaful from the current
54% to 75%.
As part of the liberalization of the market, the Concept Paper covers a wide range of
areas including operating flexibility, product disclosure, development of new delivery
channels and increased professional market practices. These proposed measures are
intended to support the long-term sustainable growth and development of the life
insurance and family takaful industry and is aimed to increase its value proposition to
consumers.
With the market becoming more competitive, there will be a larger segment of more
discerning consumers demanding for more products and services to meet their needs.
This affluent market expects service to be delivered through new distribution channels
that are most convenient to them.
Following the formation of a Steering Committee at the LIAM Strategic Meeting in Langkawi
in November 2013, three working groups were subsequently set up to study the impact of
the proposed measures in the Concept Paper in greater detail. Besides taking into account
the necessity to balance the need for an increased level of professionalism, the committees
also looked into providing greater transparency in the provision of products and services.
A series of meetings were held to draw up the industry response on the Concept Paper
which was submitted to BNM on 9 January 2014.
FINANCIAL SERVICES ACT 2013
The regulatory and supervisory framework of the financial services sector entered a new
stage of its development as the Financial Services Act 2013 (FSA) and Islamic Financial
Services Act 2013 (IFSA) came into force on 30 June 2013. The FSA and IFSA amalgamate
several separate laws to govern the financial sector under a single legislative framework
for the conventional and Islamic financial sectors respectively, namely, the Banking and
Financial Institutions Act 1989, Islamic Banking Act 1983, Insurance Act 1996, Takaful Act
1984, Payment Systems Act 2003 and Exchange Control Act 1953 which were repealed
on the same date.
The new legislations provide explicit powers for BNM to set and enforce standards on
business conduct for financial service providers that ensure financial consumers are
President’s Message 3
Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
treated fairly. The laws also specifically prohibit financial service providers from engaging
in unfair or deceptive business conduct including making false, misleading or dishonest
representations, and tied selling.
Among the highlights of this new legislation is the enhanced protection given in respect
to consumers' pre-contractual disclosure obligations contained within the consumer
insurance contracts. It is now the duty of insurers to request the proposer to answer specific
questions to solicit information which is relevant to their decision making as to whether they
should accept the risk or otherwise.
The legislation also sets out various remedies that an insurer may rely upon depending on
the type of pre-contractual misrepresentation made by the consumers.
With greater transparency in mind, the new laws contain provisions that address directorship
and holding companies whilst also specifically compelling insurers to operate either as a
life or general entity and not as composites within 5 years.
While the FSA is enforced on 30 June 2013, Schedule 9 of the Act is expected to be
implemented with effect from 1 July 2014. Schedule 9 covers the pre-contractual disclosure
and representations, and remedies for misrepresentations. To comply with these requirements,
companies have to conduct an extensive review of their existing proposal forms and other
relevant documents, renewal process, internal underwriting manual as well as to make
changes to their systems and conduct the necessary training for their staff and intermediaries.
To facilitate the implementation of Schedule 9, BNM has formed a Working Group
comprising representatives from LIAM, General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM)
and MTA to address the compliance challenges faced by life insurers and takaful operators.
PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION ACT 2010
In keeping up with international business practice, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010
(PDPA) was enforced with effect from 15 November 2013. The PDPA regulates the collection,
possession and processing and the use of personal data by any person or organization.
Non-conformance with the Act may result in penalties from financial to legal liabilities.
The life insurance industry is among the many business entities impacted by this Act.
Collection and processing of personal data is vital to the life insurance business.
Under this Act, member companies are required to be registered as data users. The Personal
Data Protection (PDP) Department plans to have forums with the respective industries to
discuss the setting up of data users forums and code of practices. The forum for the insurance
industry has been scheduled for March 2014.
Meanwhile, the LIAM Task Force on PDPA which comprises of senior legal, operations and
compliance personnel from member companies has formulated the Code of Practice for
the life insurance industry. The Code is to enable the industry to self-regulate the processing
of personal data in the industry.
However, following a joint meeting between PDP Department, LIAM, PIAM and MTA on
19 December 2013, the industry would be formulating a standard Code of Practice for
submission to the PDP Department.

Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
COMPETITION ACT 2010
The Competition Act (CA) 2010, which came into force on 1 January 2012, applies to all
commercial entities and is intended to prohibit enterprises from engaging in anti-competitive
agreements or abuse of dominant positions.
At the Association level, LIAM will continue to engage in dialogues with BNM and the
Malaysia Competition Commission to ensure that the self-regulatory guidelines issued are
not in breach of the Competition Act 2010. A review of the self-regulatory guidelines of
LIAM would be undertaken together with the new regulations issued by BNM under the
Financial Services Act 2013.
ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
With the move towards creating a single ASEAN market through the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) Blueprint in 2015, the ASEAN Insurance Council (AIC) has taken concerted
efforts to promote AEC awareness in the various ASEAN markets. The AIC Secretariat in
Jakarta has taken the lead to organize the first AEC awareness programme in September
2013 and the various ASEAN member states will be organizing roadshows in their respective
countries in 2014.
As the new Chairman of the AIC, I will continue to ensure that the AIC provides a continuous
platform for the region’s industry players to share knowledge and experience and prepare
ourselves to take on the challenges of liberalization in the ASEAN financial services sector.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
For the year ahead, LIAM will focus on the various projects at hand and continue to initiate
proactive measures to address the challenges facing the members as well as to enhance
the productivity and professionalism of the industry.
On this note, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation to the members
of the management committee for spending their time and efforts on LIAM’s activities in
dealing with the industry’s issues. My sincere thanks also go out to all member companies
of LIAM for their unwavering and strong support towards LIAM’s initiatives.
I would also like to record my appreciation to BNM, Ministry of Finance, the Treasury, Ministry
of Health, Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM), Employees Provident Fund (EPF)
and other Government agencies for their guidance and cooperation extended to LIAM.
Finally, I would also like to thank the Secretariat staff for their diligence in carrying out their
duties and in serving the industry.

Perutusan Presiden
Bagi pihak Jawatankuasa Pengurusan, saya dengan sukacitanya membentangkan Laporan
Tahunan Persatuan Insurans Hayat Malaysia (LIAM) bagi tahun 2013. Berikut ialah beberapa
isu penting yang diuruskan oleh Persatuan sepanjang tahun ini.
KAJIAN TENTANG INSURANS TERKURANG DI MALAYSIA
Sebagai satu komitmen industri ini untuk memenuhi aspirasi negara ke arah memastikan 75%
penduduknya memiliki perlindungan insurans, LIAM telah melantik Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
pada Jun 2013 sebagai rakan penyelidikannya untuk memulakan kajian tentang insurans
terkurang di Malaysia.
Jurang perlindungan mortaliti selalunya merupakan gambaran sebenar tentang potensi permintaan
perlindungan insurans hayat. Jurang perlindungan merujuk kepada perbezaan antara sumber
yang diperlukan dan sumber yang ada untuk mengekalkan taraf hidup tanggungan selepas
kematian pencari nafkah utama.
Keputusan kajian ini akan memberikan pemahaman yang lebih jelas tentang sejauh mana
terkurangnya insurans di kalangan pemegang polisi di Malaysia dan penduduk umum dan ini
akan membantu industri untuk merumuskan strategi baru bagi mengurangkan jurang perlindungan
serta meningkatkan kadar penembusan di Malaysia. Kajian ini memfokus kepada polisi perlindungan,
perubatan dan penyakit kritikal serta meliputi sampel daripada kumpulan yang berumur di antara
25 hingga 65 tahun.
PEMBANGUNAN PERANCANGAN PERSARAAN DI MALAYSIA
Selepas mesyuarat bersama Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Muhammad Ibrahim, Timbalan Gabenor Bank
Negara Malaysia (BNM) pada 5 Februari 2013 untuk pengawal selia dan sektor swasta mengenal
pasti langkah-langkah yang akan meningkatkan kadar pengambilan untuk produk anuiti, sebuah
kumpulan kerja yang diketuai oleh LIAM dan terdiri daripada wakil dari BNM dan Persatuan Takaful
Malaysia (MTA) telah ditubuhkan untuk mengkaji pembangunan perancangan persaraan di
Malaysia.
Sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha pencarian faktanya, LIAM telah menganjurkan satu
mesyuarat dengan Encik Don Yeo, Timbalan Ketua Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pusat (CPF)
Singapura pada 18 September 2013. Pada mesyuarat itu, Encik Don Yeo memaklumkan tentang
kemajuan pasaran persaraan pada masa ini, pilihan produk persaraan, sistem penjagaan kesihatan
untuk pesara serta sistem pembayaran wang CPF di Singapura.
LIAM juga mengadakan mesyuarat dengan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan Wang Simpanan
Pekerja (KWSP), Yang Berbahagia Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan pada 14 November 2013 untuk
membentangkan kertas kerja bertajuk ‘Malaysia - Preparing for Retirement’ yang disediakan oleh
Cik Brigitte Miksa, Ketua International Pensions Allianz, dan Editor majalah Project M.
Antara langkah utama yang dibincangkan pada mesyuarat itu ialah kemungkinan memperkenalkan
semula skim Penyakit Kritikal KWSP, pengenalan pelan anuiti yang sesuai dan pengenalan program
celik kewangan untuk rakyat Malaysia. LIAM juga meminta kemungkinan memperluaskan Skim
Pelaburan Ahli (MIS) supaya merangkumi insurans hayat. Pada masa ini, MIS hanya meliputi
pengeluaran untuk membeli amanah saham.

KERTAS KONSEP RANGKA KERJA INSURANS HAYAT DAN
TAKAFUL KELUARGA
Pada 7 November 2013, BNM telah mengeluarkan kertas konsep Rangka Kerja Insurans Hayat dan
Takaful Keluarga untuk perundingan awam. Rangka kerja ini menetapkan pelbagai cadangan
langkah liberalisasi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kadar penembusan insurans dan takaful
daripada 54% sekarang ini kepada 75%.
Sebagai sebahagian daripada liberalisasi pasaran, Kertas Konsep ini meliputi pelbagai bidang
termasuk memberikan fleksibiliti dalam kendalian, pendedahan produk, pempelbagaian saluran
penyampaian dan pengukuhan amalan pasaran profesional. Langkah-langkah yang dicadangkan
ini bertujuan untuk menyokong pertumbuhan dan pembangunan mampan industri insurans hayat
dan takaful keluarga dalam jangka panjang serta bertujuan untuk meningkatkan nilai tawarannya
kepada pengguna.
Dengan pasaran yang semakin berdaya saing, permintaan daripada segmen pengguna arif
untuk lebih banyak produk dan perkhidmatan bagi memenuhi keperluan mereka akan semakin
meningkat. Pasaran mewah ini mengharapkan perkhidmatan disampaikan menerusi saluran
penyampaian baru yang paling mudah bagi mereka.
Selepas pembentukan Jawatankuasa Pemandu pada Mesyuarat Strategik LIAM di Langkawi
pada November 2013, tiga kumpulan kerja kemudiannya ditubuhkan untuk mengkaji kesan
langkah yang dicadangkan dalam Kertas Konsep ini secara terperinci. Di samping mengambil
kira perlunya mengimbangkan keperluan terhadap peningkatan tahap profesionalisme,
jawatankuasa ini juga berusaha untuk menyediakan lebih ketelusan dalam penyediaan produk
dan perkhidmatan. Beberapa mesyuarat telah diadakan untuk menyediakan maklum balas
daripada industri mengenai Kertas Konsep ini. Maklum balas tersebut telah dikemukakan kepada
BNM pada 9 Januari 2014.
AKTA PERKHIDMATAN KEWANGAN 2013
Rangka kerja pengawalan dan penyeliaan sektor perkhidmatan kewangan telah memasuki tahap
baru pembangunannya apabila Akta Perkhidmatan Kewangan 2013 (FSA) dan Akta Perkhidmatan
Kewangan Islam (IFSA) berkuat kuasa pada 30 Jun 2013. FSA dan IFSA menyatukan beberapa
undang-undang berasingan untuk mentadbir sektor kewangan di bawah satu rangka kerja
perundangan masing-masing untuk sektor kewangan konvensional dan Islam, iaitu Akta Bank
dan Institusi-Institusi Kewangan 1989, Akta Bank Islam 1983, Akta Insurans 1996, Akta Takaful 1984,
Akta Sistem Pembayaran 2003 dan Akta Kawalan Pertukaran Wang 1953 yang telah dimansuhkan
pada tarikh yang sama.
Rang undang-undang baru ini memberikan kuasa yang jelas bagi BNM menetapkan dan
menguatkuasakan piawaian tatalaku perniagaan untuk penyedia perkhidmatan kewangan yang
memastikan pengguna kewangan dilayan dengan adil. Undang-undang ini juga melarang
penyedia perkhidmatan kewangan daripada terlibat dalam tatalaku perniagaan yang tidak adil
atau memperdaya termasuk membuat pernyataan yang palsu, mengelirukan atau tidak jujur,
dan jualan terikat.
Antara ciri penting rang undang-undang baru ini ialah pemerkasaan perlindungan yang diberi
berhubung dengan kewajipan pendedahan prakontrak pengguna yang terkandung dalam
kontrak insurans pengguna. Kini menjadi kewajipan penanggung insurans untuk meminta
pencadang menjawab soalan tertentu bagi mendapatkan maklumat yang berkaitan dengan
keputusan yang mereka buat sama ada mereka patut menerima risiko itu atau tidak.
Rang undang-undang ini juga menetapkan pelbagai remedi yang boleh diharapkan oleh
penanggung insurans, bergantung pada jenis salah nyata prakontrak yang dibuat oleh
pengguna.
Perutusan Presiden 7
Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
Dengan menimbangkan lebih ketelusan, undang-undang baru ini mengandungi peruntukan
yang menangani jawatan pengarah dan syarikat induk, di samping itu juga mendorong
penanggung insurans beroperasi sama ada sebagai entiti hayat atau am dan bukan sebagai
entiti komposit dalam tempoh 5 tahun.
Walaupun FSA dikuatkuasakan pada 30 Jun 2013, Jadual 9 Akta ini dijangka dilaksanakan berkuat
kuasa 1 Julai 2014. Jadual 9 meliputi pendedahan dan pernyataan prakontrak, dan remedi untuk
salah nyata. Bagi mematuhi keperluan ini, syarikat perlu membuat kajian semula yang meluas ke
atas borang cadangan mereka yang sedia ada dan dokumen lain yang berkaitan, proses
pembaharuan, manual pengunderaitan dalaman serta membuat perubahan pada sistem mereka
serta mengendalikan latihan yang perlu untuk kakitangan dan perantara mereka.
Bagi memudahkan pelaksanaan Jadual 9, BNM telah menubuhkan Kumpulan Kerja yang terdiri
daripada wakil dari LIAM, Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) dan MTA bagi menangani
cabaran pematuhan yang dihadapi oleh penanggung insurans dan pengendali takaful.
AKTA PERLINDUNGAN DATA PERIBADI 2010
Selaras dengan amalan perniagaan antarabangsa, Akta Perlindungan Data Peribadi 2010 (PDPA)
telah dikuatkuasakan mulai 15 November 2013. PDPA mengawal selia pengumpulan, pemilikan
dan pemprosesan serta penggunaan data peribadi oleh mana-mana orang atau organisasi.
Ketakpatuhan kepada Akta ini boleh mengakibatkan penalti daripada liabiliti kewangan
hinggalah kepada liabiliti undang-undang.
Industri insurans hayat adalah antara entiti perniagaan yang banyak menerima kesan daripada
Akta ini. Pengumpulan dan pemprosesan data peribadi amat penting kepada perniagaan insurans
hayat.
Di bawah Akta ini, syarikat ahli dikehendaki mendaftar sebagai pengguna data. Jabatan
Perlindungan Data Peribadi (PDP) merancang untuk mengadakan forum dengan industri masingmasing bagi membincangkan penubuhan forum pengguna data dan tataamalan. Forum bagi
industri insurans telah dijadualkan pada Mac 2014.
Sementara itu, Pasukan Petugas PDPA LIAM yang terdiri daripada kakitangan undang-undang,
operasi dan pematuhan kanan dari syarikat ahli telah merumuskan Tataamalan bagi industri
insurans hayat. Tataamalan ini adalah untuk membolehkan industri ini mengawal selia sendiri
pemprosesan data peribadi dalam industri ini.
Walau bagaimanapun, selepas mesyuarat bersama antara Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi
(PDP), LIAM, PIAM dan MTA pada 19 Disember 2013, industri ini akan merumuskan Tataamalan
standard untuk dikemukakan kepada Jabatan PDP.
AKTA PERSAINGAN 2010
Akta Persaingan (CA) 2010, yang berkuat kuasa pada 1 Januari 2012, terpakai untuk semua entiti
perdagangan dan bertujuan untuk melarang pengusaha-pengusaha daripada terlibat dalam
perjanjian antipersaingan atau penyalahgunaan kedudukan dominan.
Pada peringkat Persatuan, LIAM akan terus mengadakan dialog dengan BNM dan Suruhanjaya
Persaingan Malaysia bagi memastikan garis panduan kawal selia sendiri yang dikeluarkan tidak
melanggar Akta Persaingan 2010. Kajian semula garis panduan kawal selia sendiri LIAM akan
dijalankan bersama dengan peraturan-peraturan baru yang dikeluarkan oleh BNM di bawah
Akta Perkhidmatan Kewangan 2013.

KOMUNITI EKONOMI ASEAN
Dengan langkah ke arah mewujudkan satu pasaran ASEAN melalui Pelan Tindakan Komuniti
Ekonomi ASEAN (AEC) pada tahun 2015, Majlis Insurans ASEAN (AIC) telah mengambil usaha
bersepadu untuk meningkatkan kesedaran AEC dalam pasaran ASEAN. Sekretariat AIC di
Jakarta telah mengambil peranan utama untuk menganjurkan program kesedaran AEC yang
pertama pada September 2013 dan beberapa negara anggota ASEAN juga akan menganjurkan
siri jelajah di negara masing-masing pada tahun 2014.
Selaku Pengerusi baru AIC, saya akan terus memastikan AIC menyediakan landasan yang
berterusan untuk pemain industri di rantau ini berkongsi pengetahuan dan pengalaman serta
menyiapkan diri kita untuk menghadapi cabaran liberalisasi dalam sektor kewangan ASEAN.
PENGHARGAAN
Bagi tahun akan datang, LIAM akan memfokus kepada pelbagai projek yang sedia ada dan
terus mengambil langkah proaktif untuk menangani cabaran yang dihadapi oleh ahli serta
meningkatkan produktiviti dan profesionalisme industri ini.
Dengan itu, saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menyampaikan rasa terima kasih dan
penghargaan kepada ahli jawatankuasa pengurusan kerana meluangkan masa dan tenaga
mereka untuk aktiviti LIAM dalam menangani isu-isu industri ini. Ucapan terima kasih yang tulus
ikhlas daripada saya juga untuk semua syarikat ahli LIAM di atas sokongan padu mereka yang
tidak berbelah bahagi terhadap inisiatif LIAM.
Saya juga ingin merakamkan penghargaan saya kepada BNM, Kementerian Kewangan,
Perbendaharaan, Kementerian Kesihatan, Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM),
Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) dan agensi Kerajaan lain di atas panduan dan
kerjasama yang diberikan kepada LIAM.
Akhir kata, saya juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada kakitangan Sekretariat di atas
ketekunan mereka dalam menjalankan tugas mereka dan dalam memberi perkhidmatan kepada
industri ini.

Report of the
Management Committee
A number of activities were undertaken during the year of review. We are pleased to
present the highlights of these activities and the key issues handled by LIAM.
IMPLEMENTATION OF E-PAYMENT
In support of the national agenda on electronic payment (e-payment), LIAM has been working
closely with BNM and member companies to reduce the level of cash and cheque transactions.
Life insurance companies have achieved nearly 100% in the utilization of e-payment for agency
commission, staff salaries, hospital bills and statutory bodies/government agencies. Out of the 14
life insurance companies, eight companies have begun offering the e-payment option to
policyholders and beneficiaries for payment of claims. The remaining companies are working
towards making this option available to the policyholders and beneficiaries by early 2014.
The migration to e-payment which offers a more efficient, secure and cost effective means of
transferring funds over paper-based payments, is one of the key areas envisioned in the Financial
Sector Blueprint 2011-2020 to support greater economic efficiency. LIAM is part of the Working
Group on E-payment which comprise BNM, General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM),
Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA), Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) and Malaysian
Electronic Payment System (MEPS) to facilitate the transition to e-payment in the financial services
sector. The objective of the Working Group is to identify the issues which are of concern to the
industry and to seek the solutions jointly with BNM and the commercial banks.
FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT
LIAM, together with a number of industry bodies are in engagement with the authorities to propose
the signing of the Inter-Government Agreement on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA). FATCA is a United States (US) legislation enacted by the US Congress to prevent offshore
tax abuses by US persons and is expected to be enacted in July 2014.
Financial institutions operating outside the US, including life insurance companies in Malaysia, which
have business interests or invested assets in the US, would be required to comply with the FATCA
requirements. This includes financial institutions that are part of a larger financial group that has
affiliates with US investments or businesses.
GOODS AND SERVICES TAX
The Government has announced that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be introduced effective
from 1 April 2015 at the rate of 6%. The current sales tax and service tax will be abolished and will
be replaced by tax based on the value added concept, GST.
For the life insurance business, it will be placed under an exempt model whereby life insurance
premiums will not be subject to tax. Premiums paid for non-life policies will be subject to the
standard GST rate of 6%.
In view that life insurance premiums are tax exempt, this means that life insurance companies
will not be able to claim for any input tax that they have incurred in the course of running their life
insurance business.
The key impact to life insurers is that commission, outsourced expenses, and management fees and
charges for investment-linked policies will be subject to GST. As the pricing of life insurance premiums
are done on a level premium basis, insurance companies will have to bear the additional costs due
to input tax.
18 Report of the Management Committee
Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
LIAM had engaged a tax consultant to negotiate with the Government to grant full recovery of
GST for commission or a 50% fixed input tax credit to alleviate the additional costs of running the
life insurance business. The proposals to the Government will be based on the experience of other
jurisdictions in which GST had been implemented and the relief model that had been considered.
During the year, two industry meetings were held on 9 January 2013 and 21 May 2013 respectively,
to keep the members informed on the updates on GST on life insurance business. These meetings
also provided a platform for LIAM members to address their concerns on GST issues with the tax
consultant.
The Royal Malaysian Customs and the Malaysian Insurance Institute (MII) had also organised
a special briefing on ‘GST Treatment on Insurance/Takaful’ on 9 October 2013. LIAM was one of
the supporting organisations for this event.
LIAM STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING
LIAM organised its Strategic Planning Meeting in Langkawi from 8 to 10 November 2013 for chief
executive officers and senior managers of its member companies.
The representatives from BNM who attended this meeting were Encik Aznan Abd Aziz, Director of the
Financial Sector Development Department, Puan Junaidah Mohd Said, Deputy Director of the
Financial Sector Development Department and other officers namely Ms June Lian Lay Choon and
Encik Izian Sherwani Mansor from the Financial Sector Development Department, Encik Makhzani
Mustaffa Ng from the Islamic Banking and Takaful Department and Puan Azlinda Arshad from
the Consumer and Market Conduct Department.
During this high-powered meeting, LIAM had a
question and answer (Q and A) session with
BNM on the recently launched Concept Paper
on the Life Insurance and Family Takaful Framework.
LIAM then formed a Steering Committee to look
into the main pillars highlighted in the Concept
Paper to set the strategic directions on the future
of the industry. One of the immediate tasks of the
Steering Committee was to review the Concept
Paper and to consolidate the industry’s feedback
and recommendations for BNM’s consideration.
LIAM Strategic Planning Meeting
The session was facilitated by Towers Watson
consultancy firm.
39th ASEAN INSURANCE COUNCIL MEETING
The 39th ASEAN Insurance Council (AIC) meeting
was hosted by the Association of Vietnamese
Insurers in Da Nang, Vietnam from 4 to 6 December
2013.
39th ASEAN Insurance Council Meeting
The AIC is a regional private sector grouping of
insurance associations in ASEAN, formed to

Beberapa aktiviti telah dijalankan pada tahun

membentangkan sorotan aktiviti-aktiviti ini dan isuisu utama yang dikendalikan oleh LIAM.
PELAKSANAAN E-PEMBAYARAN
Sebagai menyokong agenda nasional bagi
perpindahan kepada bayaran secara elektronik
(e-pembayaran), LIAM telah bekerjasama rapat
dengan Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) dan syarikat
ahli untuk mengurangkan paras urusniaga tunai
dan cek.
Syarikat insurans hayat telah mencapai hampir
100% dalam penggunaan e-pembayaran untuk
komisen agensi, gaji kakitangan, bil hospital dan
badan berkanun/agensi kerajaan. Daripada 14
syarikat insurans hayat, lapan syarikat telah mula
menawarkan pilihan e-pembayaran kepada
pemegang polisi dan waris mereka untuk bayaran
tuntutan. Syarikat selebihnya sedang berusaha ke
arah menyediakan pilihan ini kepada pemegang
polisi dan waris mereka pada awal tahun 2014.
Peralihan

e-pembayaran
yang
menawarkan cara yang lebih cekap, terjamin dan
kos efektif untuk memindahkan wang berbanding
dengan
bayaran
berasaskan
kertas.
Ia
merupakan salah satu bidang utama dalam Pelan
Tindakan Sektor Kewangan 2011-2020 untuk lebih

LIAM

E-pembayaran yang terdiri daripada BNM,
Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM), Persatuan
Takaful Malaysia (MTA), Persatuan Bank-Bank di
Malaysia (ABM) dan Sistem Pembayaran Elektronik
Malaysia (MEPS) untuk memudahkan peralihan
kepada
e-pembayaran
dalam
sektor
perkhidmatan kewangan. Objektif Kumpulan Kerja
ini ialah untuk mengenal pasti isu-isu yang menjadi
kebimbangan
industri
ini
dan
mencari
penyelesaian bersama dengan BNM dan bankbank perdagangan.
AKTA PEMATUHAN CUKAI AKAUN
ASING
LIAM, bersama dengan beberapa badan industri
sedang membuat pengaturan dengan pihakpihak berkuasa bagi mencadangkan supaya
Perjanjian Antara Kerajaan berhubung Akta
Pematuhan
Cukai
Akaun
Asing
(FATCA)
ditandatangani. FATCA adalah rang undangundang Amerika Syarikat (AS) yang digubal oleh
Kongres AS untuk menghalang penyalahgunaan
28 Laporan Jawatankuasa Pengurusan
cukai luar persisir oleh orang AS dan dijangka
digubal pada Julai 2014.
Institusi kewangan yang beroperasi di luar AS,
termasuk syarikat insurans hayat di Malaysia, yang
mempunyai kepentingan perniagaan atau aset
yang dilaburkan di AS, dikehendaki mematuhi
keperluan FATCA. Ini termasuk institusi kewangan
yang merupakan sebahagian daripada kumpulan
kewangan yang lebih besar yang mempunyai
gabungan dengan pelaburan atau perniagaan
AS.
CUKAI BARANGAN DAN
PERKHIDMATAN
Kerajaan telah mengumumkan bahawa Cukai
Barangan
dan
Perkhidmatan
(GST)
akan
diperkenalkan mulai 1 April 2015 pada kadar 6%.
Cukai jualan dan cukai perkhidmatan yang ada
sekarang ini akan dimansuhkan dan digantikan
dengan cukai berasaskan konsep nilai ditambah,
GST. Bagi perniagaan insurans hayat, ia akan
diletakkan di bawah model dikecualikan di mana
premium insurans hayat tidak akan tertakluk
kepada cukai. Premium yang dibayar untuk polisi
bukan hayat akan tertakluk kepada kadar GST
standard 6%.
Memandangkan
premium
insurans
hayat
dikecualikan cukai, ini bermakna syarikat insurans
hayat tidak akan dapat menuntut apa-apa cukai
input yang telah mereka tanggung dalam proses
menjalankan perniagaan insurans hayat mereka.
Kesan utama kepada penanggung insurans hayat
ialah komisen, perbelanjaan sumber luar, yuran
pengurusan
serta caj untuk polisi berkaitan
pelaburan akan tertakluk kepada GST. Oleh sebab
penentuan harga premium insurans hayat dibuat
berdasarkan
premium paras, syarikat insurans
perlu menanggung kos tambahan disebabkan
cukai input.
LIAM telah melantik perunding cukai untuk
berunding dengan Kerajaan supaya syarikat
insurans mendapat balik sepenuhnya GST bagi
komisen atau 50% kredit cukai input tetap bagi
mengurangkan kos tambahan menjalankan
perniagaan insurans hayat. Cadangan kepada
Kerajaan ini berdasarkan pengalaman bidang
kuasa lain di mana GST telah dilaksanakan dan
model pelepasan yang telah dipertimbangkan.

Annual Report 2013
Life Insurance Association of Malaysia
Performance of the
Life Insurance Industry
MALAYSIAN ECONOMY
Malaysian economy grew 4.7% in the year of 2013 amid an environment of modest global
growth. The quarterly GDP growth rates were 4.1%, 4.4%, 5.0% and 5.1%. The corresponding
quarterly growth rates in 2012 were 5.1%, 5.6%, 5.3% and 6.5%. Growth in the services sector
in the 4th quarter improved to 6.4% (3Q 2013: 5.9%), slightly outperforming the overall
economy. The growth was supported by the improving performance of trade and
manufacturing activities. Growth in finance and insurance remained weak at 0.6% in the 4th
quarter (3Q 2013: 1.0%), as the improvement in net interest income for the banking sector
was partly offset by the weak performance in the insurance segment.
Domestic demand remained the anchor for growth, expanding by 6.4% in 4Q (3Q 2013: 8.3%).
Private sector activity grew further, as reflected by robust private investment growth and
continued expansion in private consumption. Public sector spending, however, moderated
due to slower public consumption and declining investment growth.
The headline inflation rate, as measured by annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI),
increased to 3.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013 (3Q 2013: 2.2%), reflecting the upward
adjustment of prices of petroleum products and sugar, and the increase in excise duty on
tobacco. Supply disruptions following adverse weather conditions also led to the higher food
prices. The Producer Price Index (PPI) turned around to increase to 2.2% on an annual basis in
the fourth quarter (3Q 2013: -2.3%). Prices of the local components of the PPI rose by 3.4%
(3Q 2013: -2.9%) while prices of the imported components declined by 0.5%.
The overnight policy rate (OPR) remained unchanged at 3.00% during the fourth quarter of 2013,
which is at a level that is highly supportive of economic activity. The ringgit and most other
regional currencies depreciated against the US dollar as the anticipation and eventual
announcement of a scale-back of monetary injections by the Fed resulted in outflows of
funds from regional financial markets. The performance of ringgit against regional currencies
was mixed.
The International Monetary Fund has moderately adjusted upward its projection on world
GDP growth for 2014 to 3.7% in anticipation of recovery in the advanced economies. Stronger
external demand from advanced economies is expected to lift growth in the developing
economies although domestic weaknesses remain a concern. The economies in Developing
Asia are expected to continue to outgrow the world economy and are projected by IMF to
grow at 6.8% on average in 2014. The Malaysian economy is expected to grow at 5 to 5.5%
in 2014 supported by firmer external demand and offset by a moderating but resilient
domestic demand. With inflation edging upward in recent months and the fiscal structural
adjustment and consolidation process to lower overall balance of Federal Government
finance, consumer and business sentiments however remain low and consumers are
increasingly cautious in their spending. Amid an environment of moderate growth and
weakened consumer sentiments, the life insurance industry is forecast to achieve a moderate
growth of 4 to 7% in 2014.
