Yen Ming Lee , Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of PolicyStreet said,
“While car insurance is mandatory for road-legal vehicles, there are no regulations to ensure that the drivers themselves are protected while on the road.
Regardless of the circumstance, we believe that insurance is a peace of mind that every Malaysian should be able to enjoy. Through our partnership with CARSOME, we hope to narrow the protection gap and protect underinsured Malaysian drivers.”

Eric Cheng, Co-founder and Group CEO of CARSOME said,
“We understand the worries and uncertainties that come with car ownership, and that’s precisely why we’ve partnered with PolicyStreet to provide this added layer of protection.
CARSOME Care+, combined with our existing quality guarantee through CARSOME Certified, ensures that you can enjoy a worry-free and hassle-free car buying experience.”
