Gelombang digital yang melanda Malaysia ketika ini memberi banyak manfaat bukan sahaja kepada industri yang terbabit malah kepada masyarakat umum atau orang ramai.

INI kerana segala urusan harian semakin mudah diuruskan daripada memesan makanan atau minuman secara dalam talian menggunakan telefon pintar sehinggalah kepada membeli sebuah kereta dalam talian beli belah.

Segala-galanya kini dihujung jari dan seseorang itu juga tidak perlu melangkah masuk ke mana-mana bank untuk membuat bayaran tertentu kerana semua boleh dilakukan di telefon pintar menggunakan aplikasi atau menggunakan kad.

Mengikut kajian dilakukan oleh PwC Malaysia mendapati, lanskap pembayaran digital di negara ini pada 2018 meningkat dengan wujudnya seramai 40 pemain e-wallet berbanding 28 pemain pada 2016.

Usaha mewujudkan masyarakat tanpa tunai menyebabkan pasaran e-wallet dijangka berkembang kukuh dan turut dijangka menyokong fungsi yang lebih rumit lain seperti pembayaran elektronik, pertukaran wang dan kod imbas QR.

Pemain industri juga melihat Malaysia sebagai pasaran utama berdasarkan kepada demografik dan potensi yang bakal memacu e-wallet.

Menurut PwC, antara faktor menjadi pemacu kepada kadar penembusan internet dan mudah alih yang tinggi iaitu kadar penembusan internet sebanyak 86 peratus dan 64 peratus kadar penembusan telefon mudah alih.

Populasi golongan muda yang mahir menggunakan teknologi pula sebanyak 59 peratus membabitkan golongan berusia 35 tahun ke bawah dan kadar literasi dalam kewangan yang tinggi iaitu 85 peratus yang menggunakan sistem perbankan.

Berdasarkan kepada jangkaan PwC Malaysia, pasaran e-wallet dijangka berkembang kepada USD20 bilion menjelang 2024, didorong oleh pertumbuhan industri yang dinamik dan potensi pasaran.

Berikutan e-wallet boleh digunakan dalam pelbagai platform pembayaran, segmen runcit, makanan dan minuman (F&B), dagangan elektronik dan pemindahan Peer-to-Peer dijangka menjadi segmen paling popular.

Tabiat membeli-belah secara online juga sudah menjadi trend dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia dan ia semakin berkembang pantas sepanjang tahun lalu.

Ini kerana kemudahan membeli-belah secara online jauh lebih mudah dan tidak membebankan apatah lagi menjimatkan masa serta kos tanpa perlu secara fizikal berada di kedai atau pusat beli belah.

Laman beli belah popular dalam talian di negara ini yang menjual pelbagai jenama popular misalnya, menyaksikan trend berbelanja secara online sudah menjadi amalan rakyat Malaysia apabila mereka menjadikan amalan itu sebagai rutin mingguan, bulanan atau tahunan dalam membeli barangan diingini.

Walaupun tiada kedai fizikal, pelanggan masih mahu membelinya disebabkan kualiti yang tinggi, harga murah dan perkhidmatan penghantaran yang cekap dalam setiap pembelian.

Dalam pada itu, Kajian Sikap Pembayaran Pengguna Visa melaporkan, populariti membeli-belah secara online rakyat Malaysia telah meningkat sembilan peratus berbanding tahun 2016 dengan 76 peratus rakyat Malaysia menyatakan mereka membeli-belah secara online sekurang-kurangnya sekali sebulan.

Kajian itu juga menunjukkan kategori teratas untuk belian secara online adalah pembayaran bil 58 peratus, fesyen 52 peratus dan tempahan perjalanan 52 peratus.

Justeru, kehadiran pemain industri seperti Merchantrade Asia Sdn Bhd (Merchantrade) yang memperkenalkan kad visa pra bayar pelbagai mata wang  Merchantrade Money menjadi faktor penyumbang kepada ledakan dunia digital di Malaysia.

Kad Merchantrade Money ini dengan saiz dompet RM10,000 menawarkan urus niaga dalam 20 mata wang asing antaranya dollar Australia, pound sterling, rupiah Indonesia, dollar Singapura dan dollar Amerika.

Keupayaan Merchantrade Money untuk menukar mata wang Ringgit Malaysia ke mata wang asing di mana sahaja memberi fleksibiliti dan keselesaan kepada pelanggan untuk melakukan urus niaga dalam mata wang yang mereka kehendaki pada kadar pertukaran mata wang yang telah dikunci.

Ia memberi faedah dan kelebihan kepada pelanggan yang ingin memaksimumkan nilai wang mereka dan memastikan mereka tidak terjejas dengan naik turun kadar pertukaran mata wang asing.

Sejak Kad Visa Pra Bayar Pelbagai Mata Wang Merchantrade Money dilancarkan, kad itu mencatatkan tambah nilai mencecah RM300 juta selepas setahun dilancarkan dan meraih pertumbuhan tinggi dalam pendaftaran serta dijangka mencecah tambah nilai berjumlah hampir RM300 juta.

Pelanggan menggunakan kad berkenaan untuk pelbagai jenis kemudahan seperti pembelian barangan, mengembara dan pembelian mata wang asing.

Ketika Kad Merchantrade Money dilancarkan pada awal 2018, hanya lima matawang ditawarkan namun kini ia menawarkan 20 matawang termasuk dollar AS, dollar Singapura, British Pound, Australian dollar, Indonesian Rupee, Euro, Thai Baht, Yen, Saudi Riyal, China Renminbi, Hong Kong dollar, South Korean Won, Indian Rupee yang sering menjadi permintaan dikalangan pengembara.

Maka tidak hairanlah kegunaan kad itu di luar negara bagi tujuan transaksi wang meningkat kepada 70 peratus sekali gus membuktikan orang ramai masih berbelanja dan memiliki daya berbelanja yang tinggi.

Merchantrade Money menawarkan kemudahan pertukaran wang 24-jam kepada pelanggan di serata dunia termasuk mereka yang sedang berada di luar negara dan selain itu, perkhidmatan ini juga memperkenalkan gaya hidup baru kepada pelanggan.

Penggunaan kad itu mampu mengubah kelaziman mereka apabila bertukar daripada konsep membawa wang tunai kepada konsep baru yang menggunakan kaedah digital sepenuhnya.

Apabila pelanggan memerlukan wang ketika menggembara, mereka boleh mengeluarkan mata wang asing di mana-mana mesin juruwang automatik (ATM) yang mempunyai perkhidmatan Visa di seluruh dunia pada kadar yang ditetapkan dan tertakluk pada caj bank negara berkenaan.

Kad ini disokong oleh aplikasi mudah alih yang memudahkan pelanggan memeriksa baki wang, mengurus bajet, mengirim wang, menukar ringgit ke pelbagai mata wang dan melakukan urus niaga e-dagang.

Merchantrade Money dibangunkan dengan kerjasama penyedia teknologi pembayaran global, Visa, dan ia boleh digunakan di lebih 44 hingga 46 juta rangkaian perniagaan seluruh dunia.

Kemudahan ini bakal mengubah pengalaman pembayaran untuk warga Malaysia khususnya mereka yang selalu ke luar negara dan pekerja asing di negara ini. Ini kerana ramai di kalangan pekerja asing di Malaysia tidak mempunyai akses kepada kemudahan pembayaran elektronik.

Merchantrade Money menawarkan pelbagai perkhidmatan kepada pemegang kad termasuk keupayaan menukar Ringgit Malaysia ke mata wang asing, mengirim wang kepada orang tersayang, dan membeli-belah dalam talian dengan mudah melalui aplikasi mudah alih.

Pelanggan Merchantrade merangkumi pengembara, expatriat, pelajar serta pekerja asing yang merupakan pengguna tegar yang mendapatkan perkhidmatan kaunter syarikat termasuk perkhidmatan pertukaran wang dan perkhidmatan dalam talian iaitu e-Remit dan e-Forex.

Berdasarkan trend ini, Merchantrade percaya ia membuka peluang pasaran yang luas untuk kad ini memandangkan lebih ramai pengguna kini membeli-belah secara dalam talian yang lazimnya dijalankan dalam mata wang asing.

Tambah nilai juga mudah kerana boleh dilakukan melalui saluran Internet menerusi CIMB Clicks, Maybank, JomPay dan FPX. Apabila dana dimasukkan ke dalam kad, ia boleh digunakan untuk membeli barangan atau perkhidmatan di kedai-kedai yang menyediakan Visa.

Kelebihan memiliki kad ini turut mempunyai ciri Visa payWave yang boleh digunakan untuk membuat pembayaran tanpa sentuh sehingga RM250.

Sejak kad itu diperkenalkan, kumpulan pekerja asing yang bekerja di negara ini adalah antara golongan yang paling ramai menggunakannya kerana kebanyakan mereka tidak mempunyai buku akaun bank tempatan dan menjadikan kad ini untuk menyimpan gaji setiap bulan.

Kumpulan pekerja asing ini juga turut menggunakan kemudahan kad itu untuk mengirimkan wang ke kampung halaman masing-masing tanpa perlu membawa wang tunai yang banyak sekali gus mengurangkan risiko kehilangan atau kecurian.

Selain itu, kad itu turut dimiliki kumpulan profesional khususnya ahli perniagaan yang sering ke luar negara, pelancong dan ibu bapa yang mempunyai anak-anak yang menuntut di universiti di luar negara.

Penggunaan kad ini yang mudah, fleksibel, selamat dan pantas untuk membuat pembayaran kerana diterima di seluruh dunia.

Merchantrade Money menawarkan pelbagai perkhidmatan kepada pemegang kad termasuk mengirim wang kepada orang tersayang dan membeli-belah dalam talian dengan mudah melalui aplikasi mudah alih.

Vivo Unveiled The All-New V15Pro Smartphone In Malaysia

Vivo V15Pro Unveils Cutting-Edge Tech to Rev Up the Mobile Experience

VIVO V15Pro is Vivo’s first model after the NEX to incorporate the industry’s first Elevating Front Camera. It packs upgraded AI technology, bringing consumers a stunning full-screen smartphone with an intelligent personal assistant that understands and anticipates their needs.

Vivo once again is breaking new ground by elevating the mobile experience with this latest affordable V series addition that packs in many high-end technologies that usually feature in only the most premium phones.

In addition to the Elevating Front Camera, the V15Pro includes cutting-edge technologies like its AI Triple Camera that takes pro-photography on the smartphone to another level, plus In-Display Fingerprint Scanning.

“Innovation is one of our core values. Aside from the industry’s first Elevating Front Camera which gave us the ultimate bezel-less display, we are always looking to bring other game-changing features, such as higher-quality cameras and smarter AI services that transport the mobile experience to a new dimension.” Said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of Vivo Malaysia.

“The V15Pro is a clear example of our commitment to bringing advanced products to consumers from all around the world and from all walks of life.”

Taking inspiration from the groundbreaking NEX, V15Pro carries the same Elevating Front Camera, but better. V15Pro comes with a staggering 32MP Front Camera to capture even better selfies with unrivalled clarity. Vivo has further upgraded the mechanics of the Elevating Front Camera in V15Pro.

Design enhancements also ensure the camera is sturdy enough to withstand daily wear-and-tear. The innovative Elevating Front Camera which first debuted at MWC 2018 as a concept and was featured in the first NEX has effectively created the ideal full-screen display without compromising on photo quality or camera position.

With the elimination of the notch, V15Pro now has a staggering 91.64% screen-to-body ratio, creating an unprecedented immersive viewing experience for gaming and video
viewing.

The Super AMOLED Ultra FullView™ Display on the V15Pro now has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and is 6.39 inches diagonally. Its side and top bezels have been reduced to a razor-thin 1.75mm and 2.2mm respectively.

V15Pro comes with AI-embedded solutions that take the mobile photography experience to the next level. With an AI Triple Camera, V15Pro allows consumers to take photos with stunning clarity and a wider perspective.

Users can easily capture professional-grade photos with a snap, thanks to the 48 Million Quad Pixel Sensor 1 , 8MP AI Super Wide-Angle Camera, and 5MP Depth Camera. The “four-in-one pixel” technology in the main rear camera combines four pixels into one large pixel to deliver high-quality 12MP photos even in the dark.

Borrowing from V11, V15Pro is equipped with AI photography features including AI Face Beauty and AI Portrait Framing. The all-new AI Super Night Mode makes shaky night shots a thing of the past, as consumers can now capture amazing night scenery without a tripod or a DSLR camera.

AI Super Night Mode can instantly take multiple photos at different exposures. It then brilliantly combines them to greatly improve brightness and clarity, meaning night scenes can now be captured with a high level of detail and stability.

With the all-new AI Body Shaping feature, users can now look naturally perfect by adjusting every aspect of the body such as the waist and legs – users will no longer need to use photo-editing applications to look their best.

V15Pro also incorporates Vivo’s popular In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology, which is now in its 5th generation with higher fingerprint pixel density and more sophisticated algorithms allowing consumers to unlock their phones in a more secure and intuitive manner.

Without a physical fingerprint pad, the sleek back cover adopts a unique Spectrum Ripple Design in Topaz Blue or Coral Red, that reflect different shades at different angles, complementing the futuristic innovations housed within V15Pro.

Whether you want to activate AI Face Beauty, clean up phone memory, or search for food
pictures in your album, just utter the command and V15Pro will do it for you immediately.

Avid gamers will love the upgraded Game Mode 5.0. It comes with the new Competition Mode that allocates system resources to prioritise game performance, and Dual-Turbo, which reduces frame-drop by 300% and increases smooth gameplay.

V15Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 675AIE Octa-core processor with 6GB RAM + 128 ROM, ensuring ultra-smooth performance. Consumers can also have peace of mind that their phone will be up and running at all times thanks to Vivo’s latest Dual-Engine Fast Charging technology, which tops the V15Pro up to about a quarter of power in just 15 minutes.

 

V15Pro in Topaz Blue and Coral Red will be available for pre-order, which comes with a complimentary gift box in Malaysia from 26 February to 1 March 2019 via its roadshows at select locations, Vivo Concept Stores, authorised dealers and collaboration partners.

Additionally, Vivo will also be holding a V15 Pro Superday Sale on 2 March 2019 at Sunway Pyramid (Blue Concourse) where early birds will received a complimentary DJI Spark selfie drone (on a first come first serve basis) and a Vivo gift box.

The public is also encouraged to take part in the exciting contest and giveaways that will be held on Vivo’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/VivoMalaysia). Stay tuned for more information on Vivo V15Pro Superday Sale on 2 nd March 2019.

General Insurance Industry Grew 1.5 Percent In 2018

The General Insurance Industry registered a growth of 1.5% in 2018 on the back of higher premiums from its two largest classes of insurance, Motor and Fire.

GROSS written premiums amounted to RM17.92 billion. Motor remained the largest class with a market share of 47.3% followed by Fire at 19.6% and Marine Aviation & Transit (MAT) at 7.4%.

From Left: Mohd Yusof, Mark Lim, Antony Lee, Steve Crouch, Chua Seck Guan

Motor insurance recorded gross written premiums of RM8.47 billion with a growth of
1.8% supported by increases in new vehicle sales in both the private motor cars and
commercial vehicles segments.

Close to 600,000 new vehicles were sold in 2018 compared to 580,000 in 2017 as a result of increased demand during the tax free months from June to August 2018.

Fire insurance grew 2.8% and maintained its position as the second largest class with gross written premiums of RM 3.51 billion. MAT insurance declined 0.3% with gross written premiums of RM 1.33 billion owing to reductions in the Cargo and Offshore Oil Related classes.

Medical and Health insurance (MHI) grew 5.2% to RM1.16 billion while Personal Accident insurance rose 6.9% to RM 1.21 billion. The Miscellaneous Class recorded a dip of 4.8% with gross written premiums at RM2.24 billion.

Within this class Bonds, Liabilities, Engineering and Workmen’s Compensation insurances declined year on year. Uncertainty over some mega construction projects which are currently under review contributed to the slowdown.

From Left: Mohd Yusof, Mark Lim, Antony Lee, Steve Crouch, Chua Seck Guan

Malaysia has one of the highest road accident numbers in the world. Total Motor
insurance claims incurred by the industry rose to RM 5.45 billion in 2018. PIAM is
committed to work with the Government and all agencies to reduce road accidents
nationwide.

The industry is in close collaboration with both Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) and Jabatan Keselamatan Jalan Raya (JKJR) at the Ministry of Transport. PIAM is working with the Ministry to enable insurers to have access to traffic summons data which can then be used in the calculation of insurance premiums.

In this way bad risks will be recognized while good drivers with summons-free record will be incentivized.

At the recent Chinese New Year (CNY) Road Safety Campaign officiated by the Minister of Transport, PIAM launched its music video on road safety. The video features PIAM’s road safety campaign Ambassador, Adibah Noor with cameos by the Minister of Transport Anthony Loke and the Deputy Minister of Transport, Dato’ Kamarudin Jaffar.

PIAM Chairman Antony Lee said, “We believe that the general public can relate to this music video as it highlights the bad habits that we have adopted knowingly or unknowingly on a daily basis, which compromises our safety on the road.

If Malaysians are able to change these bad driving habits, we remain optimistic on the possibility to reduce national accidents by 20% in the near term and 50% in the longer term. Everyone needs to play their role to make our roads safer.

Drivers need to follow traffic rules and observe speed limits, because speeding is one of the major causes of accidents. We hope this music video will be able to reach out to all Malaysians and make a difference.”

Based on the latest statistics from the police it is encouraging to note that there has been a slight decrease in the number of accidents during Op Selamat in conjunction with CNY 2019. PDRM statistics show that the number of accidents reduced by 1% during the 15-day period compared to the same period last year (20,829 in 2019 compared to 21,041 in 2018). Fatalities also reduced by 4.4% from 226 to 216 deaths.

PIAM CEO Mark Lim said, “Motorists involved in accidents can rely on PIAM’s Accident Assist Call Centre (AACC) for help. The AACC toll-free hotline 15-500 operates 24/7 nationwide, providing emergency roadside assistance such as towing services and responding to insurance claims enquires from all motorists.

It provides peace of mind to all road users and prevents any unwanted third party intervention which can confuse or take advantage of victims, especially at the scene of an
accident.”

Overall the number of stolen vehicles continued its downward trend in 2018 declining 25% from 16,729 to 12,496 vehicles for all classes. Since 2015 lesser vehicles have been stolen year on year. PIAM and the Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTREC) commend the unrelenting efforts, commitment and hard work of the Police, Customs and other law-enforcement agencies to combat vehicle theft in the country.

The VTREC platform is a success story for the industry. Positive outcomes can be achieved with concerted efforts by all stakeholders (both government and private sector) working together for a common purpose.

To this end PIAM will expand the scope of VTREC to include reduction of road accidents as a key objective of the council. Discussions with all stakeholders on the broadening of VTREC’s scope are currently ongoing.

The Phased Liberalisation of the general insurance industry has gained a steady momentum since it took effect in 2016. PIAM member companies have introduced new and innovative products to better serve consumers and meet their various protection needs.

As at 25 February 2019, the industry has launched 48 new Motor and 46 new Fire products in the market. The industry eagerly anticipates further liberalisation and look forward to the eventual opening up of the market.

The Fraud Intelligence System (FIS) which was implemented in late 2017 has completed its pilot phase. It will help insurers to combat motor insurance fraud in Malaysia.

This is an industry-wide initiative with the participation of all member companies. Deploying the latest data analytics technology, FIS provide fraud alerts to insurers when a claim is first submitted by a motorist.

The system will expose fraud syndicates at work and provide leads for detailed investigation by insurance companies, eventually leading to their prosecution under the law.

Looking ahead the Malaysian economy in all likelihood will remain on a steady growth path but current challenges in the operating and business climate will prevail. PIAM anticipates the general insurance industry to continue growing at a slow rate for 2019.

QSR Brands Laksana Pertukaran Sisa Kepada Tenaga Peringkat Komersial-Pertama Di Asia Tenggara

QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd (QSR Brands), pengendali restoran KFC dan Pizza Hut, menjalin kerjasama strategik bersama FatHopes Energy Sdn Bhd (FatHopes Energy) bagi melancar inisiatif mampan dan mesra alam di dalam operasinya menerusi pemprosesan sisa minyak kepada bahan api industri.

INISIATIF ini merupakan sebuah usaha bagi memacu perubahan ke arah kesejahteraan sosial dan persekitaran di samping menjana bekalan bahan api bio dari Malaysia secara berterusan.

Memorandum perjanjian (MoA) telah dimeterai menerusi pertukaran dokumen di antara
Merrill Christopher Pereyra, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Bahagian Restoran, QSR Brands dan Vinesh Sinha, Pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif FatHopes Energy.

Ianya disaksikan oleh Dato’ Kamaruzzaman Abu Kassim, Pengerusi QSR Brands bersama Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azahari Mohamed Kamil, Pengarah Urusan QSR Brands di dalam majlis yang berlangsung di KFC Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. Turut hadir Dato’ Eddy Leong, Ketua Pegawai Operasi FatHopes Energy.

Dato’ Kamaruzzaman menyatakan bahawa kerjasama ini merupakan sebuah langkah progresif di dalam usaha kelestarian QSR Brands serta sejajar dengan matlamat perangkaan alam sekitar, sosial dan tadbir urus (ESG) syarikat yang telah diperbaharui, di samping mengulas manfaat inisiatif berkenaan.

“Inisiatif ini secara sosialnya disasarkan bagi menyalur hasil minyak terpakai kepada aplikasi perindustrian yang boleh dikesan, sekaligus menentang risiko penggunaan minyak kitar semula di dalam penyediaan makanan harian rakyat Malaysia.

Manakala, impak positif terhadap alam sekitar dihasilkan menerusi pertukaran minyak terpakai kepada bahan api bio yang bermaksud sejumlah besar karbon* tidak lagi dibebaskan ke atmosfera.

Akhir sekali, inisiatif ini turut menyumbang manfaat dalam aspek ekonomi menerusi peningkatan pendapatan daripada pertambahan kutipan isipadu pemulihan minyak masak terpakai daripada restoran KFC,” katanya.

Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azahari menyatakan bahawa sistem FHE iTank milikan FatHopes
Energy, sebuah sistem pengumpulan minyak terpakai berinovasi yang akan dipasang di semua restoran KFC adalah direka bagi memperbaiki kecekapan operasi dapur restoran dengan menghapuskan pengendalian minyak terpakai secara langsung di samping meningkatkan hasil kutipannya secara ketara.

“Kami amat menyokong teknologi pemulihan sisa inovatif oleh FatHopes Energy, kecekapan sasaran aplikasi mereka untuk peringkat komersial serta minat yang mendalam terhadap inisiatif kitar semula sisa kepada tenaga (waste to energy).

Bersama FatHopes sebagai rakan kerjasama lestari, membolehkan kami memberi tumpuan lebih terhadap perniagaan teras kami, bagi menghidangkan perkhidmatan terbaik kepada jutaan pelanggan setiap bulan,” katanya.

Vinesh Sinha berkata, kolaborasi bersama QSR Brands menandakan sebuah lagi detik penting di dalam perjalanan FatHopes Energy serta ianya merupakan usaha yang wajar dijadikan contoh dan diterapkan di dalam industri.

“Kami amat berbesar hati dengan sokongan yang ditunjukkan olah QSR Brands dan sedia untuk menawarkan kepakaran serta kebolehan kami dalam menyediakan penyelesaian inovatif bagi menguruskan sisa minyak dari restoran KFC menerusi kaedah yang beretika dan bertanggungjawab.” katanya.

Inisiatif bersama FatHopes Energy ini akan dijalankan secara berperingkat bermula daripada pemasangan FHE iTank di restoran KFC seluruh Malaysia, serta turut berpotensi dikembangkan kepada operasi Singapura.

Kedua-dua pihak sedang di dalam perbincangan bagi peringkat kedua kerjasama berkenaan, di mana FatHopes Energy akan mengendalikan kilang biodiesel QSR Brands di
Port Klang bagi tujuan pemprosesan sisa ke bahan api bio.

Menerusi kendalian FatHopes Energy, keupayaan operasi tapak sedia ada berkenaan dapat dipertingkatkan bagi memacu agenda global ke arah penyahkarbonan – sekaligus meletakkan Malaysia sebagai perintis di dalam penghasilan bahan api bio berasaskan sisa.
