GE-Great Eastern supports B40

FOLLOWING its announcement to the Singapore Exchange recently, Great Eastern Holdings Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the B40 Health Protection Fund as announced by the Malaysian Finance Minister of Malaysia in his Budget Speech on Nov 2.

The B40 Health Protection Fund is an initiative spearheaded by the Malaysian government. It was created in partnership with the private insurance industry and designed to help Malaysian households become more financially resilient through insurance and takaful protection.

“We are grateful to the minister for the opportunity to participate in the B40 Health Protection Fund as we strongly believe in the good that will churn out from it. Our earlier communications could have resulted in some misinterpretation of our intent and we regret the inconvenience it could have caused the minister,” said Great Eastern Holdings Group CEO Khor Hock Seng.

“We are committed to collaborating closely with the relevant authorities towards the success of the B40 Health Protection Fund,” added Khor.

Great Eastern is actively supporting the government of Malaysia’s efforts to address social welfare protection coverage and help the lower income segment in the community through its contributions to the B40 Health Protection Fund.
