Message from Chairman

After going through some old notes, I realized that MARIM has been in existence for 16 years with the continued support from past and present members. As time flies, we have collectively seen the vast development of risk and insurance management happening around us in Malaysia and our peers in other part of the world. We also have gone through few challenging real risk experience domestically or worldwide connected to health risk pandemic – SARS, Bird Flu, H1N1, natural calamity – Tsunami, tremors, earthquake, flood and landslide, corporate scandals such as Enron, Satyam and Subprime. The question going round in my mind is how we as the corporation, public sectors and individual coping with the impact of the risk? Is our risk management program works for us? Is our insurance coverage responded to the losses suffered?

     Looking back and predicting the future, I truly believe that risk and insurance management has revolves with time though the perils and hazards manifested may change with time. So do the need for a platform of networking for risk and insurance managers so that we can continue with exchanging views, ideas and best practices across respective organization.
