Etiqa unveils 'pioneering' investment-linked takaful plan for Maybank customers
The Dynamic Horizon takaful plan is projected to generate more than RM30 million in sales within the first 12 months.
Etiqa said Dynamic Horizon has been carefully curated to address the growing demand for values-based protection and wealth solutions across both Muslim and non-Muslim client segments.
For Muslim clients, it offers a rare and meaningful proposition, combining takaful benefits with hibah features, allowing for purposeful legacy planning while honouring faraid (Islamic inheritance law) obligations.
For non-Muslim clients, the takaful plan delivers the clarity, continuity and control typically sought in holistic protection solutions.
Available through Maybank branches nationwide as well as its Premier and Private Banking channels, the plan offers guaranteed acceptance for contributions up to RM2 million with no medical examination required - one of the most accessible offerings in the market.
Singaporeans and Bruneians residing or working in Malaysia are also eligible to subscribe to the plan.
Dynamic Horizon is a single contribution investment-linked product that integrates robust takaful protection with diverse syariah-compliant investment options.
With a strong focus on legacy planning, the plan features hibah benefits, flexible fund switching and coverage of up to 125 per cent of the single contribution.
This offers customers long-term protection and potential wealth growth in one holistic solution.
Etiqa Family Takaful chief executive officer Zafri Ab Halim said Dynamic Horizon reflects the firm's commitment to delivering syariah-compliant solutions that protect families and help them grow wealth responsibly.
"Etiqa believes that financial empowerment begins with access, trust, and innovation.
"By empowering customers to plan boldly and leave meaningful legacies, Dynamic Horizon aligns with Etiqa's corporate purpose of, "Making the World a Better Place" he added.
Maybank Islamic Bhd deputy CEO Nor Shahrizan Sulaiman said the takaful plan will redefine Malaysians' approach to wealth accumulation and protection, as well as further cement Maybank's position as a leader in Islamic wealth management.
"Today's clients are looking for solutions that reflect not just their financial goals, but their beliefs and values. Dynamic Horizon speaks to that need — enabling meaningful protection while preserving one's intent for future generations," he said.

MAIPs drought recovery project in Kenya wins IFRC recognition
KANGAR: The International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) has officially commended the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) for its 'MAIPs Ndengu Revolution' project in Kitui, Kenya. The initiative, focused on post-drought recovery, was lauded for its long-term impact on vulnerable communities. IFRC Regional Director for Africa, Charles Mbeeta Businge, presented the recognition during a roundtable discussion with the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, in Nairobi last week. The event coincided with MAIPs' 'Safar Ilmi 2025' programme. 'Through the Ndengu Revolution project, MAIPs has developed a medium- and long-term recovery approach for communities affected by drought in Kenya,' stated MAIPs. The project supplies ndengu (green gram) seeds, agricultural resources, and livelihood training, ensuring recipients achieve self-reliance beyond immediate relief. The initiative has been featured in global reports, including IFRC publications highlighting zakat's role in international humanitarian efforts. Charles Businge noted that MAIPs demonstrated how zakat can drive disaster recovery and poverty alleviation. 'The project is an exemplary model of Islamic philanthropy integrated into the global humanitarian agenda,' he said. Launched in 2018, the project underscores Malaysia's growing influence in cross-border Islamic aid, merging faith-based giving with sustainable development. - Bernama

IFRC Lauds MAIPs For Transformative Community Initiative In Kenya
KANGAR, July 26 (Bernama) -- The 'MAIPs Ndengu Revolution' project, a community recovery initiative by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) in Kitui, Kenya, has received official recognition from the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC). In a statement today, MAIPs said the recognition was for its transformative contribution to the lives of vulnerable communities in the aftermath of drought. The statement said the recognition was conveyed by IFRC Regional Director for Africa, Charles Mbeeta Businge, during a roundtable discussion with the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, held in Nairobi last Thursday in conjunction with the 'Safar Ilmi MAIPs 2025' programme. "Through the Ndengu Revolution project, MAIPs has developed a medium- and long-term recovery approach for communities affected by drought in Kenya. "This includes providing ndengu pulse crop seeds, agricultural inputs, livelihood support, and community capacity building. The project does not only address short-term needs, but also builds resilience and self-reliance among the recipients," the statement read. The initiative by MAIPs has also been documented in several international reports and journals, including 'The Transformative Power of International Zakat: How zakat support from Malaysia helped communities in Kenya recover from drought' and 'Your duty for their dignity: the transformative power of international zakat financing', published by IFRC and cited in global Islamic philanthropy discourse. Meanwhile, in the same statement, Charles Businge said Malaysia, through MAIPs, had proven that zakat instruments could expand internationally and serve as a catalyst for recovery and community resilience in the context of disasters and prolonged poverty. He described the project, which began in 2018, as an exemplary model of how Islamic philanthropy can be integrated into the global humanitarian agenda with professionalism and integrity. -- BERNAMA

IFRC recognises MAIPs for Kenya-based agricultural aid initiative
KUALA LUMPUR: The "Ndengu Revolution" project, spearheaded by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs), has received formal recognition from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The recognition honours its transformative contribution to improving the lives of vulnerable communities in the post-drought region of Kitui, Kenya, through sustainable agricultural and community-based recovery programmes. The initiative, which began in 2018, represents a medium- to long-term recovery effort, involving the distribution of ndengu (mung bean) seeds, agricultural inputs, livelihood support and capacity-building for the local population. IFRC regional director for Africa, Charles Mbeeta Businge, said Malaysia's efforts through MAIPs demonstrate that zakat, as an Islamic instrument, can function effectively across borders, particularly in strengthening community resilience against disasters and prolonged poverty. "This project is an excellent example of how Islamic philanthropy can be integrated into the global humanitarian agenda with professionalism and integrity," he said. He made the remarks during a roundtable session with the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, held recently in Nairobi as part of the Safar Ilmi MAIPs 2025 programme. Accompanying His Royal Highness were Malaysia's High Commissioner to Kenya Ruzaimi Mohamad; Perlis muftiDatuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin; and MAIPs chief executive officer Mohd Nazim Mohd Noor. MAIPs' work has been highlighted in several international IFRC publications, including The Transformative Power of International Zakat and Your Duty for Their Dignity, both now widely referenced in the field of global Islamic philanthropy. IFRC's senior officer for innovative finance, Islamic philanthropy and the private sector, Ramya Gopalan, praised MAIPs for playing a pivotal role in expanding global understanding of zakat as a responsive development instrument. She said that MAIPs is also part of the IFRC Islamic Philanthropy Advisory Group, which provides strategic policy guidance and frameworks for implementing humanitarian aid rooted in Islamic principles. During the same session, the IFRC expressed appreciation for MAIPs' involvement in the 2018 Kenya Drought Project, which served as the foundation for the long-term Ndengu Revolution initiative.
