Tel : 603 2691 6168 / 2691 6628 / 2691 8068 Fax : 603 2691 7978 Website : www.liam.org.my Email : liaminfo@liam.org.my 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. 2 President’s Message 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. 4 President’s Message 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. Vincent Kwo President President’s Message 5 Annual Report 2013 Life Insurance Association of Malaysia 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. 6 Perutusan Presiden Annual Report 2013 Life Insurance Association of Malaysia 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. 8 Perutusan Presiden Annual Report 2013 Life Insurance Association of Malaysia 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.

Committees and Working Committees 2013/2014 17 Annual Report 2013 Life Insurance Association of Malaysia 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 promote regional ties and cooperation among ASEAN insurers. The annual council meeting, which is attended by the heads of the associations, is held at a designated ASEAN country. This meeting serves as an effective platform, facilitating the exchange of information among participants on the latest development of their respective markets. Among the items discussed at this year’s meeting included the Insurance Mediation Survey in the ASEAN region; report from the Technical Working Group on ASEAN Insurance related matters which had looked into areas such as the risk-based capital framework, taxation and microinsurance introduced among the ASEAN countries, possibility of producing the ASEAN statistics report as well as donations and support to the Typhoon Haiyan victims. Report of the Management Committee 19 Annual Report 2013 Life Insurance Association of Malaysia During the Life Breakout session, the ASEAN life insurers exchanged notes on ways to increase insurance penetration rate, development of regulatory framework, promoting insurance products and consumer awareness as well as the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community. At this meeting, LIAM President Mr Vincent Kwo was appointed as the AIC Chairman for the 2013 – 2014 term replacing Mr Kornelius Simanjuntak of Indonesia who has completed his term in office. The AIC meeting which coincides with the ASEAN Regulators meeting, also provided an opportunity for the AIC members to have a discussion with the regulators on the issues facing the insurance industry in general. CONVENTIONS • 2013 International Dragon Award Annual Meeting/ 17th Malaysia Chinese Life Insurance Congress Kuala Lumpur was proud to host the 2013 International Dragon Award (IDA) Annual Meeting/ 17th Malaysia Chinese Life Insurance Congress after a lapse of some 15 years when the last Conference was held in Kuala Lumpur.

Report of the Management Committee 27 Annual Report 2013 Life Insurance Association of Malaysia Laporan Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Beberapa aktiviti telah dijalankan pada tahun dalam tinjauan. Kami dengan sukacitanya 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 kepada 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 menyokong kecekapan ekonomi. LIAM merupakan sebahagian daripada Kumpulan Kerja 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. References: 1. 2. 3. 4.
