Existing takaful operators will have to “up their game” and gear up for stiffer competition as the granting of four new licences by Bank Negara on Wednesday will see more players fighting for a share of the profit slice.
Takaful Ikhlas Sdn Bhd president and chief executive officer Datuk Syed Moheeb Syed Kamarulzaman said the company would need to find a niche to stay ahead of the competition.
“We were surprised that four new players were granted licenses rather than two. With more players coming in competition will increase and so will customer expectation,” he said when contacted by StarBiz yesterday.

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.

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%.
