Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (“Allianz General”) reminds Malaysians to ensure adequate protection, including insurance cover, following recent floods and a lansdslide that affected areas in Kuala Lumpur.

On 15 October, several locations in Kuala Lumpur experienced flash floods due to heavy rains that took place earlier in the morning. Furthermore, the police have ordered the evacuation of more than 20 residents in Taman Melawati following a landslide that occurred from the heavy rain. 

This is following several warnings issued by the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MET Malaysia) affecting a number of states in Malaysia with the latest issued on October 8. 

Following the devastating flooding incident in 2021 which resulted in an estimated RM6.1 billion in losses, Allianz General urges Malaysians to protect their assets against the effects of thunderstorms, tempest and floods.

“Flooding has become more severe in recent years, and it can wipe out hard-earned assets such as vehicles or properties in a matter of days. It is important to stay insured and protect your assets against the effects of natural calamity,” said Sean Wang, CEO of Allianz General.

Allianz General offers the add-on Special Perils cover for their Private Car Comprehensive insurance policy for a small fee which provides coverage for instances of flood, typhoon, tempest, landslide, and any other convulsions of nature.”

The Smart Home Cover allows policyholders to customize their home protection according to their needs. Policyholders can choose to protect the building structure, household and personal contents within the building, along with several other protection options. Furthermore, a multi-year plan is available to lock in a lower single premium fee for 3 years.
