SYARIKAT Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Bhd (Takaful Malaysia) delivered a resilient financial performance for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024.
The group reported a profit after zakat and tax (PAZT) of RM378.1mil for the financial year under review, an increase of 9% from RM347.1mil posted in 2023, mainly due to the increase in takaful services results.
The group’s takaful revenue for the financial year under review rose 22% to RM3.58bil from RM2.94bil recorded in the same period the previous year.
Higher contributions from the family and general takaful businesses and increased takaful coverage across both businesses resulted in an increase in the group’s takaful revenue.
Takaful Malaysia group chief executive officer Nor Azman Zainal, said, “Our family takaful business generated takaful revenue of RM1.99bil in 2024, increased by 28% compared to RM1.55bil in 2023, mainly attributable to higher takaful revenue earned for takaful services provided.
“Our general takaful business registered takaful revenue of RM1.46bil for the financial year under review, 14% higher compared to the preceding year of RM1.28bil, mainly due to higher contribution release from fire and motor class of businesses.
“We delivered a commendable performance in 2024 through our core business portfolios in
bancatakaful, treasury, employee benefits, and general takaful.
“Our digital platform and brand, Kaotim, which offers a comprehensive suite of affordable and accessible protection plans, has delivered positive results.
“Aligned with evolving market demands, we focus on expanding our presence in the retail segment to provide Malaysians with greater access to comprehensive and affordable protection solutions.
“Recognising the important role affordability plays in our customers’ lives for financial security,
we are committed to offering products and coverage that meet their needs,” he said.
Nor Azman emphasised the importance of sustaining business growth for Takaful.
In line with Takaful Malaysia’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
principles, the group has actively implemented various corporate sustainability initiatives in 2024, including climate risk management, environmental stewardship practices, responsible investment, and community empowerment programmes.
These initiatives reflect the group’s strategic focus on environmental preservation, positive social impact and governance practices.
As part of the group’s ongoing future-proof sustainability initiatives, Takaful Malaysia is set to introduce a youth leadership programme – the Takaful Malaysia 100 Youth Leadership Programme, which reflects the group’s aspirations and essential role in nation-building.
