The Skim Insurans Am Selangor general insurance scheme is to provide protection to two million people in Selangor by the end of the year, says Chief Minister Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.
He believes the target is achievable as the number of registrations has reached 40,000 since the application was made available in October.
“We have received nearly 40,000 applications. We initially aimed to see 1,000 registrations daily. But we are currently getting roughly 2,000 applications per day on average even though the programme has not been officially launched.
“The official launch of the insurance scheme will be held at the Jelajah Selangor Penyayang roadshow in Klang, which kicks off,” he said.
The free insurance scheme is for all Selangor citizens offered from as young as 30 days old babies to 80 years old senior folks.
Amirudin introduced the state’s general insurance scheme for all Selangor residents with an estimated total protection value of RM60 billion and is expected to benefit six million people.
To qualify for protection under Insan, the recipient must either be born in Selangor or be a voter in the state.
With a value of RM10,000, the insurance will be paid out for every loss of life caused by accidents and for people who suffer permanent disabilities.
