Seramai 4,786 petugas Jabatan Pelajaran Johor menyertai Skim Takaful Kemalangan Diri Berkelompok (GPA) yang dilancarkan sejak tiga tahun lalu.

Pengarah Pelajaran Johor, Sufaat Tumin berkata, kesemua mereka terdiri daripada petugas pengurusan, pengendalian dan keselamatan peperiksaan jabatan tersebut.

Katanya, sebaik sahaja skim itu diperkenalkan sambutan yang diberikan petugas berkenaan menggalakkan kerana bayaran hanya dikenakan RM14 setahun berbanding penyertaan individu kira-kira RM50 setahun.

“Kami galakkan mereka menyertai skim ini kerana mereka ini terdedah dengan kerja seperti mengawal selia kertas-kertas soalan peperiksaan.

“Kerja-kerja seumpama ini perlu skim tersebut kerana mereka terdedah dengan pelbagai risiko,” katanya.

Takaful Ikhlas Sdn Bhd president and chief executive officer Datuk Syed Moheeb Syed Kamarulzaman has dismissed market talk that Malayan Banking Bhd’s (Maybank) takaful unit Etiqa Takaful Bhd was planning to acquire the company as a rumour.

He told StarBiz there had been no discussion on the matter at shareholder, parent or company level.

“There has not been any discussion at Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), MNRB Holdings Bhd or Takaful Ikhlas on such an acquisition. It does not make sense. If there was (discussion), Maybank and MNRB as public listed companies should have got approval from Bank Negara before commencing acquisition.

“Furthermore, as one of the fastest growing takaful companies, Takaful Ikhlas has it own brand and appeal as well as its unique selling proposition. Therefore, it makes no sense to ‘rock a moving speedboat’ like us,” he added. PNB’s stake in MNRB as at August was 74.64%.
