Kuala Lumpur, 11 March 2021 – If there is a positive take to the COVID-19 outbreak, it is that businesses were propelled into embracing digitisation and the Internet of Things (IoT), especially when it comes to daily operations.

Brightnet ID System Sdn Bhd can attest to this, judging by the up-take of its Intelligent Key Management System KMS – an embedded web-based key management system that controls and tracks the usage and movement of keys in all buildings and facilities. The firm targets a 50% business growth by the end of the year.

Manulife Investment Management (M) Berhad enables Malaysians to save conveniently with Regular Savings Plan on Manulife iFUNDS

Kuala Lumpur – Manulife Investment Management (M) Berhad today announced the launch of  Regular Savings Plan (RSP), a new feature on the digital investment platform Manulife iFUNDS that  offers a convenient way for Malaysians to save their income regularly and achieve their long-term  financial goals. RSP enables users to make fixed monthly investment contributions, and earnings from  their investments will be reinvested to generate more potential returns and enjoy the power of  compounding. 

RSP is based on the principle of dollar cost averaging, which means investing a fixed dollar amount  periodically into a specific investment regardless of fluctuations in the market price. The result of this  is that investors buy more units when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high. This can be  a viable long-term strategy for investors with lower risk appetites, less time to spare on closely following  the market, or have cash flow concerns. This strategy can help eliminate the risk of panic buying and  selling in response to unanticipated market movements, a trait that inexperienced investors often have.  Over time, the average investment cost may be lower than lump sum investment, which may contribute  to more long-term profits.

KUALA LUMPUR, 10 March 2021 - With growing awareness for medical protection, soaring healthcare costs and tightened wallets, Tune Protect Malaysia launched its first online cashless e-medical card, PRO-Health Medical. The cashless medical plan provides hospitalisation and surgical expenses benefits to suit consumers’ lifestyles and budget needs.

William Foo (“William”), Chief Executive Officer of Tune Protect Malaysia highlighted, “Today’s digitally savvy customers thrive on convenience and simplicity. They are health-conscious, sensible and realistic in managing their expenses. These insights spurred the features of PRO-Health Medical as a comprehensive, budget-friendly plan that is easy to understand. Sign-up takes less than 5 minutes and claims are hassle-free via our Tune Protect App which also hosts the e-Medical card for cashless admission.”

Unique to PRO-Health Medical is a year-long mental wellness programme with Naluri for the first 1,000 customers, lump-sum allowance for mosquito-borne diseases, Covid-19 additional medical expenses of up to RM20,000 per diagnosis until 31 December 2021* and a charitable pledge by Tune Protect to Yayasan Chow Kit to provide children from less privileged families with access to healthcare for every policy sold.

“The professional overall mental health and lifestyle coaching by Naluri is especially timely given the pressures of keeping up with the “new” norm. Millennials are health conscious and goal driven. If their goal is to lose that 3 kgs they gained while working from home, or to learn how to balance work-life pressures, our programme with Naluri will give them that added assurance and support,” added William. 

* For customers who purchase PRO-Health Medical in the month of March 2021
