As Malaysians prepare for the upcoming Hari Raya festivities, drivers are being urged to ensure they have valid motor insurance to avoid severe financial and legal consequences.
Head of Tan Chong Insure Joshua Yong warned that despite motor insurance being mandatory under the Road Transport Act 1987, many drivers continue to take the risk of driving uninsured due to financial constraints or lack of awareness.
“Driving uninsured isn’t just illegal—it’s financially reckless. If you cause an accident, you’ll be liable for repair costs, medical expenses, and even lawsuits. Imagine being forced to pay tens of thousands of ringgit out of pocket, all because you skipped insurance?” he said.
He added that even victims of accidents may struggle without insurance, as they would not be compensated for vehicle repairs or medical bills, leading to financial hardship.
GoInsurans aims to bridge this gap by offering flexible and budget-friendly insurance plans to suit different financial situations. The platform also provides real-time updates and hassle-free claims to make the process easier for drivers.
To encourage more motorists to get insured, GoInsurans is offering an exclusive promo code ‘REFERME’ for instant savings of up to RM100, subject to individual car insurance premiums and sum insured.
