We have successfully set the benchmark in the Takaful industry for our peers and competitors. Our awards and achievements are an acknowledgement from the market and we are proud of the teams that work so hard to make these awards possible. Continuing as a pioneer in our industry, we are the first and only Takaful operator that has been consistently rewarding Cash Back to our General Takaful customers for making no claims during the coverage period.
Our major shareholder is BIMB Holdings Berhad . Under the BHB Group, BHB also wholly owns Malaysia’s first Islamic bank, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (Bank Islam). BHB’s parent company is Malaysia’s Pilgrim Fund, Lembaga Tabung Haji with its current shareholding of 53.82%. BHB Group has been an active player in developing the Islamic finance sector in Malaysia.
The Financial Services Act , has changed the landscape of the insurance industry. The new act requires conventional and takaful insurers to relinquish their composite licences, and conduct their life and general insurance businesses under separate units or subsidiaries.
With the restructuring, Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Berhad is now known as Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Berhad (STMKB) which will continue to operate the Family Takaful business. A new company by the name of Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Am Berhad (STMAB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMKB will be handling the General Takaful businesses.
The conversion is in line with our strategic move to achieve our objective of maintaining the current lines of our business whilst facilitating the expansion into new lines of business in the longer term.
We are optimistic that this change will provide greater growth opportunities and contribute positively to the prospects of both companies through greater synergy and effective execution of across-the-board strategies to lead the takaful industry development.
