Gift of legacy: One plan, multiple dreams

The Star21-05-2025

NAVIGATING life after decades of work brings a unique set of aspirations and anxieties.
The desire to safeguard one's health, secure a comfortable retirement and establish a meaningful legacy often intertwines with the realities of ongoing financial commitments.
Many in this stage of life may still be managing mortgage loans, business investments, supporting their children's education or marriage, and dependents' living and medical expenses, adding complexity to long-term financial planning.
Addressing these multifaceted needs requires a solution that offers robust protection and the potential for wealth preservation.
Discover Wealth Creator Premier, an investment-linked insurance plan crafted by Generali Life Insurance Malaysia Bhd to resonate with the ambitions and concerns of individuals in their prime and pre-retirement years.
Preserving wealth, securing legacies
The Wealth Creator Premier plan offers a powerful combination—the protection of high insurance coverage for assets, business and loved ones against life's uncertainties, coupled with the opportunity for your money to grow, building a solid foundation for your future and the legacy you envision.
With exclusive bonuses and guaranteed renewability until age 100, the plan ensures your wealth-building journey continues seamlessly, even after your demise.
Additionally, starting your legacy creation with a high protection coverage of RM800,000 safeguards your family's future and empowers you to confidently pursue your financial goals.
For instance, as illustrated above, if an individual with a wife and two children wishes to protect his dependents and ensure business continuity after his passing, Wealth Creator Premier could help secure that legacy.
With a total wealth of RM2mil, RM500,000 is set aside for immediate business continuity, while RM1.5mil in cash is used to purchase the Wealth Creator Premier plan.
This plan creates RM6mil* in legacy value, providing RM1.5mil each to the spouse and two children, while increasing the business continuity fund to RM2mil. This ensures both the family's financial security and the sustainability of the business.

MBI needs RM4.25mil to complete roof project for Gerbang Malam night market

At Ipoh's Gerbang Malam night market, 185m has roofing while funding is needed to complete the project. — RONNIE CHIN/The Star THE second phase of roof construction for Gerbang Malam along Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar is 85% complete, says Ipoh mayor Zamakhshari Hanipah. He said the roof had been designed with adequate height clearance to avoid obstructing nearby commercial units and shoplots. 'The city council is committed to conducting an immediate survey of the night market site, to assess the current situation and ensure the needs of traders and visitors are taken into account in further planning,' he said. It was previously reported that traders at the site had complained that part of the roof had yet to be put up, causing them to lose business during the rainy season. Zamakhshari said the roof design would address this issue. The first phase of the project, which involved building the roof over 185m of the night market area, was completed in April 2023 at a cost of RM2.9mil, with RM2.6mil coming from the Federal Government and an additional RM300,000 from the city council. 'Work on the second phase began on Oct 14 last year,' said Zamakhshari. He noted that another 171m-long stretch was still without a roof, due to funding constraints. He said MBI had submitted a RM4.25mil funding request to the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture for the implementation of Phase 3. 'It includes the construction of additional roofing, the installation of industrial fans and improvements to pedestrian walkways. 'We will continue working to secure additional funds to complete the project for the well-being of traders and the comfort of visitors.' He said MBI was optimistic the request would be approved, adding that 'MBI is committed to overseeing this project comprehensively.' Zamakhshari said MBI was focused on prioritising traders' welfare, enhancing Gerbang Malam's image as a tourist attraction and ensuring that every development project would benefit Ipoh residents. 'MBI deeply appreciates the patience and support of all parties in our efforts to build a more progressive and prosperous city,' he said. Gerbang Malam is one of Ipoh's key tourist attractions where small and medium-sized traders operate daily from 6pm to midnight.

E-invoicing deadlines for businesses with revenue below RM5mil revised, says LHDN

KUALA LUMPUR: The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) on Thursday (June 5) announced that the implementation phase for e-invoices for taxpayers with annual income or sales exceeding RM1mil but not exceeding RM5mil has been postponed to Jan 1, 2026. In a statement, LHDN also announced that taxpayers with an annual income or sales below RM500,000 are exempted from the implementation of the e-Invoice system. "The implementation phase for taxpayers with annual income or sales up to RM1mil has been postponed to July 1, 2026," LHDN said. The board added that the decision was made after the government recognised the commitments of taxpayers, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), in meeting e-invoice legal requirements, which necessitate adequate preparation time and face numerous implementation challenges. The statement said that, in line with this decision, a new timeline for the e-invoice implementation phases has been established with Phase 3 targeting taxpayers with annual income or sales exceeding RM5mil but not exceeding RM25mil coming into effect on July 1, 2025. LHDN noted that Phase 4 will involve taxpayers with annual incomes or sales exceeding RM1mil up to RM5mil and will begin on Jan 1, 2026 while Phase 5 will cover the income group of up to RM1mil and will commence on July 1, 2026. The previously announced six-month grace period will also apply to these new phases, the agency said. It stressed that during this period, taxpayers will be permitted to issue consolidated e-invoices for all transactions, including self-billed e-invoices. Necessary details, it said, can be included in the "Product or Service Description" field. "If there is a request for an e-Invoice from the buyer, the seller is also allowed to issue only a consolidated e-Invoice without issuing one for each transaction," the statement said. LHDN also said that during this grace period, no prosecution will be initiated under Section 120 of the Income Tax Act 1967 for non-compliance with e-Invoice regulations, provided taxpayers adhere to the consolidated e-Invoice requirements. "Furthermore, starting Jan 1, 2026, taxpayers involved in e-Invoice implementation must issue an e-Invoice for every sale of goods or provision of services exceeding RM10,000, and consolidated e-Invoicing will no longer be permitted," the statement added. For any inquiries regarding the system's implementation, the public may contact LHDN offices, the e-Invoice Help Desk at 03-8682 8000, MyInvois Live Chat, email myinvois@ or submit a query through the MyInvois Customer Feedback Form at - Bernama
