Business to Insurances

The majority of people still think that insurance is expensive. In fact only suitable for those who have high salaries. Is it true? Vice President Director of Manulife Indonesia Nelly Husnayati explained, the public perception makes insurance penetration in Indonesia is still low.

"Minds must be changed. Because insurance is important for all. Nowadays many insurance products with affordable premiums, even for middle income people," said Nelly.

Nelly says, people from among any course will be thinking about the future for themselves and for their children someday. Both costs for food, clothing, shelter, education, investment in the future and others.

But, Nelly reminded that the insurance is not saving. In principle, insurance is to provide protection to yourself and family, especially when something unexpected happens someday.

"The government and insurance companies should be more incentive to educate people, that the insured was not only for the high-paying. Now was already there with the insurance premium of Rp 50,000 a year for example. Was it affordable," he explained.

With more and more people understand about insurance, it is expected that the number of neglected children education as well as the number of people who can not afford hospital fees Yag every year more and more expensive can be suppressed by an insurance policy.
