    If the worst happens, where does my policy moneys go if I did not elect a nominee?

    If no nominee was elected, we'll pay the policy moneys to your lawful executor (the person you named as such in your Will) or administrator (if you don't have a Will, this is the person who has been granted administration of your estate by the Court).

    If there is no lawful executor or administrator, we will follow Section 6 of the Distribution Act 1958 and pay the policy moneys to your spouse, child or parent.

    It can get pretty complicated, which is why we always recommend you to elect a nominee.

    What happens if I did not elect a nominee, and I did not have a spouse, child or parent at the time of my demise?

    If your policy moneys is not more than RM100,000, we may pay it (without a need for grant of probate, letters of administration or distribution order) to a person that we deem entitled to the policy moneys under your Will (if any) or under any law relating to the disposition of property. A person can also be deemed entitled if he/she is named as an executor in your Will, or has the consent of all your lawful beneficiaries to be administrator to your estate.

    If the policy moneys is more than RM100, 000, we may then firstly pay RM100, 000 to the person referred above and the balance of the policy moneys to your lawful executor or administrator.

    Confused? Take the stress away and elect a nominee instead.

  • What is this product about?

    This policy provides insurance against liability to other parties for injury or death, damage to other parties’ property, and accidental or fire damage to your vehicle or theft of your vehicle.

  • Is there any *Motor Assist Program offered by MSIG?

    Yes, in the unfortunate event of an accident involving your vehicle or should a breakdown occur, MSIG is at your side to help you. You are entitled to this accident/roadside service assistance without any surcharge to your policy premium. We have a nationwide network of recommended motor repairers, ready to provide you with prompt, efficient and convenient service, whenever the need arises.

    24 Hour Free Assistance Number: 1-300-880-833

    *Motor Assist Program is offered to Comprehensive Private Car policyholders.

  • What is the important point on Insured Value/Sum Insured to be considered when buying motor insurance?

    If you are buying a policy against loss/damage to your vehicle, you must ensure that your vehicle is adequately insured as it will affect the amount you can claim in the event of loss /damage.

    For a new vehicle, the insured value will be the purchase price while for other vehicles, the insured value is the market value of the vehicle at the point you apply for the insurance policy.

    1. Under-insurance – If you insure your vehicle at a lower sum than its market value, you will be deemed as self-insured for the difference, i.e. in the event of loss/damage, you will only be partially compensated (up to the proportion of insurance) by your insurance company.
    2. Over-insurance – Should you insure your vehicle at a higher sum than its market value, the maximum compensation you will receive is the market value of the vehicle as the policy owner cannot ‘profit’ from a motor insurance claim.
