Manulife Malaysia Champions New Era Of Health Protection
KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- Manulife Malaysia (Manulife) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the health and well-being of Malaysians through a comprehensive, people-first approach to health insurance. Manulife chief marketing officer Marilyn Wang said this commitment is reflected in its expanding range of health solutions, including Manulife Health Saver Enrich (MHSE) and Beyond Critical Cover (BCC), both designed to provide support at every stage of care. 'These products aim not only to ease the financial burden of serious illnesses but also to promote healthier lifestyles for long-term well-being,' she said during a speech at an exclusive session with Manulife Malaysia and Cancer Research Malaysia (CRMY) on Cancer, Prevention & Protection here, today.

Manulife Malaysia boosts cancer prevention with new insurance plans
KUALA LUMPUR: Life insurer Manulife Malaysia is deepening its commitment to cancer prevention through insurance-led health protection. Chief Marketing Officer Marilyn Wang said the initiative is aimed at supporting Malaysians at every stage of their health journey. "We want to be more than just a claims processor. We aim to be a true health partner, driving awareness, encouraging early detection, supporting during treatment, and continuing care after recovery," she said in a media briefing today. Wang also said that this commitment is reflected in Manulife's flagship products, Manulife HealthSave Enrich (MHSE) and Beyond Critical Cover (BCC). "Both MHSE and BCC are designed to address gaps in health literacy, vaccine uptake, and post-diagnosis care. "MHSE includes coverage for preventive vaccinations such as human papillomavirus (HPV), dengue, and influenza. It also offers a no-claims discount of up to 40 per cent, outpatient care benefits, post-cancer recovery support, and annual coverage of up to RM20 million for families," said Wang. Meanwhile, BCC provides upfront financial payouts upon diagnosis for 48 covered critical illnesses, along with additional support for intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and extended hospital stays. Wang said this approach is backed by findings from its Asia Care Survey 2024. The study revealed that 45 per cent of Malaysians are worried about cancer, and 71 per cent feel underinsured when it comes to the cost of treatment. "Most people are not aware that HPV vaccines are available for free in public schools. We want to help change that by spreading awareness, not just about protection, but about taking action before it is too late," she said. Manulife's initiative also aligns with the work of Cancer Research Malaysia (CRM), which focuses on tackling cancer through regional research and development. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, cancer is now the fourth leading cause of death nationwide. CRM projects that cancer incidence will double by 2040, with one in nine women and one in ten men expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime.

New warning system to be introduced for bin collections in Belfast
Under the new guidelines, set to be phased in from August 4, bins that can't be fully closed or containing plastic liners which can catch in the lorry will receive an amber tag as their first warning. The tag will contain information on how to correctly leave bins out for collection and how to make extra room for waste. From September 29, households that continue to not follow the guidelines will receive a red tag meaning their bins will not be emptied. Councillor Ruth Brooks, chair of the council's people and communities committee, explained that the move is aimed at helping residents recycle and keep on top of their waste while also maintaining the safety of staff. 'This is about helping Belfast residents recycle more and get on top of their household waste, while keeping our staff safe at work,' said councillor Brooks. 'Many other councils already follow these guidelines and, while our crews have always done their best to support households on collection day, we need to take a consistent approach to how bins are presented and emptied city-wide. 'This will reduce the risk of accidents at work and also reflect upcoming changes to how our lorries operate in terms of emptying bins which are overflowing or have liners attached. 'By following these guidelines, households can support a cleaner environment and help our crews deliver what is a very vital but underrated service - one which we all reply on, in every corner of our city. 'Please take some time to look at how best to sort your waste and present your bins properly on collection day - look for posters in your local community or through your door, chat to our resource advisors who will be at upcoming events like Freshers' Week and the Autumn Fair, share our social media posts with your neighbours and head to our website if you're not sure about anything or want to check a particular item.' BCC has reminded residents of the updated collection guidelines, which include a ban on bin liners in any bins and a warning that extra bags left beside bins will not be collected. Residents have also been advised to ensure bin lids are fully closed, and are being asked to make full use of recycling bins or boxes to help create more space in bins. Bins should be clearly marked with your house number, with only one black bin permitted per household, unless previously approved for extra capacity. BBC has also urged people to sort recycling correctly by placing items in the appropriate bin or box and to ensure bins are out by 7am and brought back in by 8pm on collection day.
