“As one of the first movers in Malaysia’s nascent digital insurance market and the first to offer online life insurance, we have been working hard to make insurance more affordable for Malaysians.
We believe nobody should have to choose between protecting themselves and their loved ones or being uninsured due to cost. It is imperative that we make insurance easy and affordable. So it is more accessible to those that need them the most.”
said Malek Ali, Founder and CEO of Fi Life.
