Why Do People Choose Us?
We were fortunate to have purchased a Fire Policy from MSIG to protect our beauty saloon as recently, fire started at our neighbour’s kitchen (restaurant) and it began to spread. Fortunately, ‘Bomba’ (Fire Brigade) arrived on time to extinguish and kept the fire under control. The fire happened during the night whilst we were closed.
It was only in the morning that we discovered that our shop was affected when we arrived to start business. What a shock we had! Our saloon was covered in soot and some of the equipment along the wall adjoining the neighbour was damaged. The anguish and anxiety to clean up the mess and to think of repainting as well as to repurchase those equipment worried us. Thankfully, MSIG adjusters attended to the loss and our claim was settled at about RM15,000.
On the other hand, our neighbour was not so fortunate for the extinguishing process of the ‘Bomba’ (Fire Brigade) resulted in their premises being damaged by water could not be claimed as they did not purchase a Fire Policy.
“We were surprised that the Fire policy we purchased for our business covers more than we expected.”
