The importance of life insurance

Life insurance may sound like something you only have to think about when you get older, but there are a variety of benefits to buying life insurance early on in your working career. Even if you don't have a family that is dependent on you, or if you feel that your employer's life insurance policy is adequate for your needs, there are many reasons why you should consider taking out your own life insurance policy. If your employer provides you with a life insurance policy, you shouldn’t necessarily rely on it. While many companies may offer life insurance as one of the key benefits of a job, the figure often doesn't cover enough to be of adequate benefit to your family - especially in the event of your death. For instance, many firms may offer life insurance that is one or two times the amount of your annual salary; but most financial planners will recommend replacing that with life insurance that covers up to 10 times your annual salary. Furthermore, it is always important for consumers to be aware of types of life insurance they can choose from: essentially, there are two types of life insurance: term insurance or investment type insurance. Term insurance will provide benefits to your family or your dependents if you die during the proposed period covered by your policy. Investment-type life insurance, also known as, "permanent insurance", will include endowment policies and "whole of life" policies. This type of life insurance remains in effect for as long as you continue to pay your premium. Essentially, part of this premium will go to an investment account; so, as well as paying out in the event of your death, it will build up in investment value - which you can actually cash in before you die. This is a great reason to invest in life insurance when you're younger - the earlier you buy, the higher the investment value that will accumulate during your lifetime, and the more you may be able to reclaim when you're older. Perhaps the most crucial piece of information to keep in mind during your search for life insurance, however, is the importance of shopping around. It is vital to ensure that the insurance you eventually invest in is the most suitable for your particular needs; so, as well as thinking about how much you can afford to pay, it is essential to think about what you actually need from life insurance cover. There are many consumer life insurance comparison sites that exist on the web which provide this valuable service. By utilising such services, as well as vital sources of information like the FSA Check Firm Service and the Citizens Advice Bureau, you will be armed with a hefty arsenal of consumer information so you can reach the right decision when it comes to buying life insurance.

SC sekat laman web pelaburan Internet tidak sah mulai 11 Jun

Muka Hadapan (Utusan Malaysia : 01JUN2007)

SC sekat laman web pelaburan Internet tidak sah mulai 11 Jun
KUALA LUMPUR 31 Mei – Selepas memberi amaran berulang kali, Suruhanjaya Sekuriti (SC) hari ini bertegas dengan memberi kata dua kepada semua pelabur skim yang tidak sah melalui Internet supaya mengeluarkan wang pelaburan sebelum 11 Jun ini.
Jika tidak, bermula dari tarikh tersebut, akses ke laman-laman web tempatan dan asing yang mempromosikan skim pelaburan secara dalam talian yang tidak pasti kesahihannya itu akan disekat.
Ini bermaksud para pelabur yang masih tidak mengeluarkan wang mereka bukan saja tidak akan dapat lagi mengakses laman-laman web itu malah tidak lagi dapat memasuki akaun mereka bagi melakukan sebarang urus niaga.
Setakat ini, laman web SC masih memaparkan senarai amaran mengandungi 45 laman web dan 15 syarikat yang dikesan menjalankan aktiviti pasaran modal dan sekuriti tanpa kelulusan suruhanjaya itu.
Dalam kenyataannya hari ini, SC memberitahu, tindakan tegas menyekat laman-laman web itu akan dilakukan dengan kerjasama Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC) dan Pusat Keselamatan Siber Malaysia (CyberSecurities).
Menurutnya, ketiga-tiga pihak bekerjasama menjejak, mengenal pasti dan menyekat akses ke laman-laman web berkenaan.
Pada 12 April lalu, Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan pada persidangan di Kuala Terengganu membuat ketetapan bahawa semua pelaburan di Internet, termasuk SwissCash yang menjanjikan faedah atau pulangan tetap sebagai haram kerana berunsur riba.
Keputusan majlis itu memberi kesan kepada aktiviti pelaburan melibatkan tidak kurang 500,000 orang Islam termasuk golongan kenamaan dan profesional berpangkat Tan Sri dan Datuk.
Nilai pelaburan keseluruhan dalam skim melalui Internet itu dianggar mencecah RM1 bilion.
Sehubungan itu, bagi memastikan para pelabur dilindungi undang-undang sekuriti, orang ramai yang ingin terus membuat pelaburan dinasihatkan supaya hanya melabur dengan pihak yang mempunyai lesen dikeluarkan SC.
Senarai syarikat dan individu yang dilesenkan oleh SC dan senarai amaran boleh diketahui menerusi laman web suruhanjaya itu www.sc.com.my.

What Warren Buffet (The Second Richest Man Worldwide) Says ???

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the secondrichest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after
he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His
house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him. 5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year
to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or
calls them on a regular basis.

He has given his CEO's only two rules.

Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to
make himself some pop corn and watch Television.

8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did
not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting
only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill
Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

His advice to young people: "Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and
Remember:

A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need
rather.
F. After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life."

Cabaran Kita

Kehidupan melanda kita pada kelajuan peluru, Namun, is juga membawa peluang-peluang yang menakjubkan untuk mereka yang mampu menyahut cabaran.

Cabarannya ialah - menjadi lebih baik pada kadar lebih cepat.

Era baru menuntut respon lebih laju. Penyesuain serta merta. Hasil cepat. Lebih-lebih lagi, era ini menuntut peningkatan diri pada kadar yang sekurang-kurangnya dapat menandingi kadar perubahan. Kadar perubahan kini semakin laju.

Kita mesti meningkatkan penyesuain diri kepada kekerapan anjakan karier dan peranan baru kerja kita. Kita mesti punyai satu formula yang dapat membantu kita memanfaatkan potensi terpendam kita. Kita mesti tahu cara membuat sumbangan yang memberi hasil ketara. Hanya dengan mengubah cara kita mengerahkan diri, barulah dapat kita menunjukkan hasil yang dituntut oleh masa kini.

Kemahiran yang telah menghasilkan kejayaan tahun lepas, mungkin tidak releven lagi esok. Pendidikan yang kita anggap sudah "selesai" tidak dapat menjamin karier kita lagi. Asas pengalaman yang luas juga tidak begitu memberi jaminan, kerana ia cepat ketinggalan zaman.

Kita tahu, kita perkan lebih.

Situasi ini menuntut satu strategi yang mapan. Kita perlukan satu kaedah untuk mengerakkan diri agar dapat menandingi isyarat-isyarat karier yang kita hadapi.

Rahsianya ialah Peningkatan Laju peribadi ... satu rutin yang sengaja, disiplin ... yang menghasilkan "Prestasi" dramatik.

Jumpa lagi !!!!

Why you need Insurance & Saving ???

You may not realize how importance Insurance & Saving. Many of us will think that saving will give our financial strenght better thus, they will not think if anything happen to them being the No. 1 in the family, how their kids to survive ???

For me, Insurance becoming No. 1 because its a needs for every each of us with the current market changes where health will be one of the most importance topic to be discussed. And, after fulfillement of the needs, then we can think over the surplus to become our saving & you can choose the transport of the investment vehicle.

For me, I would choose the legal transport such as PUBLIC MUTUAL a subsidiary of Public Bank investment arm to let our $$ accumulate & to become part of our retirment plans.

Continue //....... see yeahhhhh
