Razman Hafidz Abu ZarimGroup CEO,

Tune Protect Group

we will progressively work on strengthening the building blocks as part of our commitment towards continuous improvement for recovery and stronger financial performance in the coming years.

In the Digital Global Travel business, we secured our fourth airline partner, Cambodia Angkor Air – a full commercial airline that is a collaboration between the Cambodian government and Vietnam Airlines. This partnership excites us as it allows us to showcase our capabilities to a broader Indo-China audience. Cambodia Angkor Air is in addition to our other airline partners: AirAsia, Cebu Pacific Air and Air Arabia.

The bundling of our simplified travel product into the premium fares of our airline partner in Malaysia, as well as our dynamic pricing initiatives, that were launched in the year, produced encouraging results. These initiatives helped to arrest the declining take-up rate for our travel products in the Malaysian market.

On the General Insurance front, our new Chief Executive Officer for Tune Protect Malaysia, Khoo Ai Lin, led a re-organisation of the management structure to accelerate the growth of the organisation. The new structure allows the organisation to unlock innovation and new opportunities, while ensuring flawless execution for its existing businesses. In doing so, our team shall focus on providing seamless customer experience and growing the critical mass acquisition strategy on retail business via affinity business partnerships; in addition to our focus on growing sustainable commercial business.

we continue to display effective marketing in the social media arena with the launch of the “In”sured campaign which won the Social Media Excellence Award in conjunction with Malaysia Social Media week for the Financial Services category. The Tune Protect brand was also ranked No. 2 amongst the most mobile ready brands in Malaysia in a 2017 study by IPG Mediabrands. Additionally, our 'Skip the Drama' campaign won the Gold award at the Mob-Ex Awards 2018 in the Brand Awareness category.

It has been a year of strategic organisational and technology restructuring for Tune Protect Group as we took bold steps to fortify our sustainability and strengths in a changing business landscape. As such, improvements are ongoing towards fulfilling our promise of delivering value to all our stakeholders. The Group remains financially sound, with a growing and promising portfolio. we also take pride in the talent of our people, and with a strong bench of leaders and clear strategies in place, we are hopeful that our hard work will bear positive results in the mid to long term.

FINANCIAL REvIEw

The Group posted Gross written Premiums (“GwP”) of RM517.7 million with Operating Revenue of RM542.6 million and Profit After Tax (“PAT”) of RM50.0 million for 2017.

The increases in Operating Revenue by 5% and GwP of 3.3% compared to 2016 was attributed to the continuity of strategic initiatives that were launched last year in the Digital Global Travel and the General Insurance businesses.

Our Digital Global Travel business faced varying difficulties in its operating environments, especially in the Malaysian market, resulting in lower GwP and PAT at RM105.2 million and RM43.2 million respectively. Nevertheless, the initiatives started towards the end of 2016 showed good progress during the year, where the topline performance for the second half outperformed the first half.

In the Middle East, our business that is facilitated by Tune Protect EMEIA continued to expand the EMEIA markets in 2017. Its PAT declined to RM1.0 million due to higher investments in people and technology to support its expansion.

In Thailand, our General Insurance business achieved a full year growth of 24.8% in PAT, as a result of lower operating expenses and net claims, and higher investment gains.

Overall, the higher claims experience in our Fire, Motor and Personal Accident lines of business, together with increased marketing and promotional expenses, resulted in our Group PAT to decline by 42.2% and our combined ratio to rise to 94.0%.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Dear Shareholders,In 2017, Tune Protect Group had a busy year laying down the building blocks of recovery in our mainstay Digital Global Travel business; fortifying our General Insurance business; keeping on track of our digital journey and realising a string of operational achievements.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Financial Position & Liquidity

Although total liabilities increased by RM42.7 million (5.9%) due to increases in insurance contract liabilities and claims experience, our total assets grew by RM50.4 million (4%) to RM1.3 billion year-on-year. This is primarily due to the increase in reinsurance assets following better management of our claim liabilities via reinsurers. Overall, our net asset position improved by RM7.7 million.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents level was lower by RM6.8 million as more cash was placed in investments and the Group’s working capital was managed more efficiently.

The Group remains prudent in maintaining a sound financial position that enables the execution of our strategic objectives in creating value over the coming years.

Capital & Resources Management

The Group’s committed capital expenditure stood at RM21.8 million as at the end of 2017. The Group continues to be prudent in the management of our capital and resources in order to fund the capital expenditure and future growth without external financing. There were no requirements for additional capital resources during the year, and our capital structure remained the same at year-end.

The Group is able to comply with the capital adequacy and solvency requirements as prescribed by the Labuan Financial Services and Securities Act 2010 and the Financial Services Act 2013 for major subsidiaries.

OPERATIONS REvIEw

In 2017, Tune Protect Group continued to be guided by our three strategic pillars towards enhancing a digital future:

1) lead in product innovation and differentiation;

2) widen distribution channels and expand reach; and

3) deliver exceptional customer experience.

Digital Global Travel

we play a significant role in global travel insurance. Through our partnerships with various strategic partners and agents, we serve their customers’ travel insurance needs in over 45 countries. Our travel insurance policies are sold mainly via digital channels throughout these markets.

corporate or business travel, Travel Electronic Assurance and Travel Baggage Assurance. All the products were designed based on feedback received from travellers. A key highlight in 2017 was when we were accorded as the “Best Travel Insurance Facilitator” award at the first Arabian Travel awards held in Dubai.

In our journey to become a leading Digital Insurer, we will continue to explore opportunities to collaborate with or invest in InsurTech entities, including those espousing community-based insurance. we shall also form other strategic alliances with digital affiliates to mutually benefit from the InsurTech experience. This is in addition to strengthening our capabilities by introducing new e-Tools across distribution channels, with the underlying objective to deliver exceptional customer experience.

Our initiatives, Product Bundling into Premium fares and Dynamic Pricing, produced encouraging results in 2017. The dynamic pricing initiative was supported by enhancements made on our airline partner’s booking page. This involved tailoring product pricing to suit individual purchaser profiles, by utilising technology algorithms.

Both initiatives led to increased take-up rates for our global travel business towards the end of 2017. Nevertheless, we are intensifying efforts in enhancing our dynamic pricing technology, by engaging the expertise of a technology partner in 2018.

Further improvements in the algorithms with different attributes will be implemented this year to enhance the personalisation model that will encourage greater take-up rates. Product bundling is also expected to continue its positive topline progression.

The Group continues to actively focus on establishing tie-ups with new airlines and online travel insurance platform partners.

In 2017 we established exciting new partnerships with AirAsiaGo and Tourders online travel marketplaces as well as Cambodia Angkor Air, the largest airline and national carrier in Cambodia with a network of 20 destinations across 8 Asian countries. Securing this airline partner in the region is a huge milestone for us as it brings us closer to our vision of becoming a leading travel insurer in ASEAN with wide distribution channels and an expanding reach.

In the Middle East, over a period of two years, Tune Protect EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) has been steadily growing its presence in the EMEIA region as we continued to make a mark as an innovative and technologically-advanced brand in that regional travel insurance sector. In 2017, we launched Travel Safe to cover

we want the entire value chain of a customer’s digital interaction with us – from making a purchase online to making a claim – to be as seamless, fast and easy as possible.

Our initiatives, Product Bundling into Premium fares and Dynamic Pricing, produced encouraging results in 2017.

Management Discussion & Analysis

we aim to stay agile and responsive in meeting industry trends for higher motor and medical claims pay out. To alleviate the higher costs of motor claims that continue to impact the Malaysian general insurance business, we are focusing on new initiatives to concentrate on make and models of vehicles which have relatively good experience. Concurrently, we have also revised the way we evaluate vehicles that have higher loss exposure, and are reviewing “beyond economic repair levels” to curb total loss exposure.

The Phased Liberalisation of the Motor Tariff premiums continued with the expansion of the tariff quotes to be within a plus and minus 10% band from 1 July 2017. Given our strong digital presence, we took the opportunity to launch our new Motor Easy product in the same month. This has widened the product range available on our digital platform from five (Travel Easy, Dental Easy, Guard Easy, PA Easy and Ride Easy) to six. Policies sold via the digital

platform have registered encouraging growth, expanding almost 90% year-on-year from 7,500 to more than 14,000 policies.

In meeting emerging consumers preference to purchase items frequently in small quantities, we continue to explore the possibility of offering “on-demand”, “usage-based” and “behavioural based” insurance products that are dynamically-priced.

General Insurance Business

Although the Malaysian general insurance industry recorded a marginal decrease in 2017, the Group’s general insurance arm, Tune Protect Malaysia, surpassed industry average to register a 5.4% growth in GwP. Tune Protect Malaysia also saw commendable growth of 37% in its foreign workers compensation sector, a profitable class of business with a relatively low claims ratio. However, despite the strong top line growth, net underwriting profit was lower than last year’s, due to large claims in the Property (particularly the floods in the Northern region in 2017) and Motor lines of business.

The five strategic focus areas for the General Insurance business are:

1. Critical Mass Acquisition on Retail Business through strategic tie-ups with affinity partners

2. Technology by developing platform, tools and service engines for affinity partners

3. Data Analytics and Propensity Modelling to acquire new customers, build loyalty via cross sell and upsell initiatives and conserve quality customers

4. Customer segmentation in differentiating priority, mass affluent and mass market segments

5. Product Innovation to speed to market the products for various customer segments

Policies sold via our digital platform have registered encouraging growth, expanding almost 90% year-on-year.

we continue to explore the possibility of offering “on-demand”, “usage-based” and “behavioural based” insurance products that are dynamically-priced.

Our customers’ feedback is important to us. To this end, we launched an Online Purchase Customer Satisfaction Survey in May 2017 for all policies sold via our e-commerce portal. within the period of survey, we received 1,315 responses up to December 2017 where more than 80% of the respondents were satisfied with their online purchasing experience.

The industry also launched the Fraud Intelligence System (“FIS”) in October 2017 to combat motor insurance fraud in Malaysia. Deploying the latest data analytics technology, FIS will provide fraud alerts to insurers when a suspected fraudulent claim is first submitted by a motorist. The system will help expose fraud syndicates at work and provide leads for detailed investigation by insurance companies eventually leading to their prosecution under the law.

In order to sustainably grow in this dynamic new era of digital possibilities, we undertook a strategic rationalisation during the year that includes the appointment of several new hires to strengthen the management team and help accelerate our digital journey. we will continue to invest in the right talents who will fast-track the journey of Tune Protect to become a leading digital insurer.

Under the rationalisation exercise, Tune Protect Malaysia has realigned all departments under a shared Head of Operations in order to maximise synergy; established a Strategic Development and Management department in order to redefine business objectives in line with our stated pillars; heightened focus on developing and training with the establishment of a dedicated training centre for agents; and harnessed technology to benefit both customers and agents in enhancing products transparency, interactivity and convenience.

we have begun to make significant investments into enhancing our digital infrastructure while also making our policies clearer, and ensuring the entire value chain of a customer’s digital interaction with us – from making a purchase online to making a claim – is as seamless, fast and easy as possible. we have been in discussions with insurance technology companies on telematics capabilities, ultimately to be able to offer the right product to the right person at the right price, online. Leveraging on our partners’ customer databases, Tune Protect Malaysia plans to increase cross-selling initiatives to roll out more products and expand contribution from the non-travel business through improved data analytic capabilities.

whilst the GwP of Tune Protect Thailand has decreased as a result of a slowdown of the travel industry in 2017, Tune Protect Thailand has managed to increase its trading profit on the back of prudent management of operating expenses, reinsurance arrangements optimisation that has improved its claims ratio, and higher investment gains. The strategic initiatives laid out and implemented by Tune Protect Thailand in 2017 include refining its core strength in terms of insurance products to increase competitive advantage, building customer awareness, redefining perception about our insurance products, identifying key up-sell and cross-sell opportunities, and expanding product range and distribution channels. For the various distribution channels such as Agents and Brokers, Osotspa Group, Direct Retail, Direct Corporate and Online businesses, our priority is to ensure that renewal is maintained and new businesses are secured via all these channels.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Tune Protect Thailand is also accelerating its efforts on the online sales platform through its portal to offer on-demand insurance and Travel Easy packages in 2018. works are still ongoing to get the products up on the virtual platform to ensure that potential or returning customers are able to access our products easily. Aside to the online sales platform, other initiatives in the areas of IT have also been rolled out to support business processes efficiently.

Tune Protect Thailand also launched thematic marketing campaigns for Tune Protect – AirAsia travel insurance that were well received and yielded satisfactory results.

Outlook

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects the Malaysia economy to grow at a slower pace of between 5% and 5.5% in 2018 and inflation to rise at a slower pace. Momentum in activity is expected to remain strong in the first half of the year, supported by domestic demand and continued strength in global trade. For the insurance industry, strong support from regulators and favourable demographics, including a young population and growing middle class, remain supportive of a long-term structural growth for both general and life insurance.

In delivering our brand promise of Insurance Made Easy, greater product innovation and customer experience are made possible through us developing our digital business. we review our products consistently to make them more relevant and conveniently accessible online. These include segregating features and benefits of our motor and travel protection plans to offer more meaningful coverage. we are also entering strategic online partnerships with large online platforms targeting car dealers and foreign workers to expand our reach.

Using the online platform, we also hope to be able to offer simple and affordable protection to an expanded market.  In contrast to internet banking subscribers that stands at 22.8 million or 70% of the population in Malaysia, online insurance distribution accounts for less than 0.1% of the business volume.

Our strong focus on travel insurance should also continue to anchor us in sustainable growth. with claims ratio for travel insurance consistently below 5% over the last five years, our travel business has contributed to a healthy underwriting surplus for the Group. we will continue to train our energy on the Asia Pacific market, which currently contributes to more than 85% of our Digital Global Travel business, as we believe there is still much potential for further growth in this region, along with fast-expanding middle classes and numbers of travellers.

The approval received from Labuan Financial Services Authority in April 2017 to allow for the set-up of a retakaful window within Tune Protect Re provides the Group with the opportunity to penetrate the ASEAN market for retakaful travel insurance business.

Focusing on retail retakaful business, the strategies upholding the retakaful window include penetrating the ASEAN travel retakaful sector, offering direct and digital retail retakaful solutions, and expanding retakaful reach via partnerships with underwriters worldwide. we are currently working with our partners in firming up and executing re-takaful arrangements with a target of seeing these initiatives coming to fruition in 2018.

The insurance industry continues to be driven by technology. Building on the emergence of InsurTech entities, blending insurance with the latest technology, for example artificial intelligence, makes it possible to leverage on new unique sets of data to deliver exceptional customer experiences across the insurance value chain.

In conclusion, this financial year will be an exciting period for the Group as we continue to build on our strength that will lead us closer to our overarching ambition of ensuring that everyone is protected throughout their life's journeys and adventures. we strive to make the Tune Protect Group as the place our colleagues are proud to work for and our customers are delighted to associate with. Thank you for standing with us.

This financial year will be an exciting period for the Group as we continue to build on our strength that will lead us closer to our overarching ambition of ensuring that everyone is protected throughout their life's journeys and adventures.

Through the establishment of SuCom, our existing Sustainability Policy was renewed with the following areas being improved:

i ) def ined susta inabi l i ty ro les and responsibilities of all divisions

ii) enhanced scope of the Sustainability Policy

iii) plans to achieving key sustainability commitments

Supporting the Global Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”)

The SDGs outline specific targets that can only be achieved through collaborations between governments, civil society and businesses around the world. A new set of goals is envisioned to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. These ambitious goals must be delivered through multi-outcome collaborations across the entire sustainable development agenda.

As an insurer, we are able to contribute to these global goals and we will be working towards reviewing our footprint, match our key activities, and aligning our targets against the SDGs as part of our commitment towards global corporate citizenship.

Exposure to EES and Governance Risk

As an insurer, our exposure to EES and governance risks is mostly indirect through the risks we accept from our insurance clients. Prudent management of EES and governance issues represents a major opportunity for us to reduce risks in underwriting and reinsurance, both for our own business and for our customers.

Ethical Business

we adhere to the Financial Services Act 2013 and all related laws, Bank Negara Malaysia’s guidelines and Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market Listing Requirements. Continuing this internally, we have in place a formal CoC and various other policies pertaining to conflicts of interest, anti-harassment, equal opportunity and whistleblowing. Learn more about the CoC on the corporate website at tuneprotect.com.

The CoC and Group-wide policies lay the foundations for long-term trusting relationships with our colleagues, customers and partners, our approach to sustainability as well as to ensure that we are aligned and working within the same parameters. The CoC covers three aspects:

i) Respect in Our workplace that defines the best interaction manner in the workplace;

ii) Respect for Our Business Partners which guides us on how we engage with external parties; and

iii) Respect for Our Shareholders that summarises our commitment towards ensuring shareholder value.

The CoC demonstrates our belief in doing business the right and ethical way with a particular reference to our Core Values. we believe that ethical business practices are more than just complying with the current regulations. In every jurisdiction that we operate, we commit to observing to all applicable laws and regulations. we have zero tolerance for fraud, corruption and violation of laws and regulations. The tone for adherence on compliance and regulation matters are set right from the top.

Compliance and Risk Management

The management of compliance is governed and supported by the Compliance Management Framework which is a Board-approved framework that outlines the structure and key processes for identifying and ensuring compliance with applicable legislations, regulatory requirements, and internal policies and procedures.

Our Risk Management Framework institutionalises vigilance and awareness of the management of risk across the Group.

Tune Protect Group has in place a Risk Management Framework with the objective of institutionalising vigilance and awareness of the management of risk across the Group. This framework provides a concise and holistic documentary standard as a single point of reference which outlines the broad overarching framework in providing direction for the management of all risk elements that the Group is exposed to. This framework addresses structure, people, policies, processes and activities required for the Company to manage key risks. Mandatory training and assessments for employees in the areas of workplace integrity have been part of our risk management strategy.

In 2018, we will embark on several platforms to raise awareness and build competency in regulatory compliance. The Compliance function will direct and support the development of overarching compliance policies and procedures while facilitating the implementation of policies and procedures across the Company. Business units will be responsible for the implementation of the CoC as well as regulatory compliance policies and programmes. we will continue to nurture a culture of risk management to create awareness through employee training. Refer to our Risk Management and Internal Control statement on pages 82 to 84 of this Annual Report.

Cybersecurity

In recent years, new and more sophisticated cyber attacks have been occurring across the world, resulting in information security incidents. This situation has led to a growing interest in information security risk, and efforts made to strengthen defences and enhance data protection. Information leakage has various impacts in our organisation – financial, operational, legal and regulatory sanctions. Our business is proprietary to personal details of our customers. As such, it is important that all information is properly managed, controlled and protected.

Information obtained is received and stored with the strictest confidence and security. we take caution in disclosures of non-public information, except where required by regulators. Our efforts are supported by our Privacy Policy and in order to prevent unauthorised access to and disclosure of personal information, Tune Protect Group has implemented technical and administrative measures to keep our customers’ information secure. Strict safeguards have been put in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of any information provided to us. This includes limiting employees’ access to information and handling information of customers who have ended their customer relationship with Tune Protect Group.

There were no incidences of substantial complaints regarding breach of customer privacy or customer data loss in 2017.

Group Clean Desk Policy

The Clean Desk Policy is one of our top strategies in reducing the risk of security breaches in the workplace. we have increased awareness among our employees on protecting sensitive information in our possession, reducing the threat security incidences and data loss to malicious entities. The Clean Desk Policy also creates a tidy and clean environment as well as showcasing a positive image to external visiting stakeholders. It complies with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010.

No system is secured unless it is constantly monitored and evaluated. In the same sense, to ensure we are constantly in touch with our compliance policies, our Compliance Team constantly reviews and monitors on-the-ground compliance by performing regular walk-throughs, internal audits and collect feedback from employees.

This Policy is in line with our CoC on safeguarding information and Company assets.

Financial Literacy

Financial literacy is beyond a brand building exercise. It is the essence of our capacity building of the market so that our customers are empowered to manage their finances well. To achieve our objectives, we supported and participated in events such as Karnival Kewangan 2017. It was a weekend event organised by Bank Negara Malaysia in collaboration with the Malaysian financial services industry.

Customer Experience Initiatives

In a fast-moving society that is constantly online, digitisation makes it easier for customers to process their needs fast and at their own convenience. we will continue to develop our digital business, channelling our efforts towards greater product innovation and customer experience to deliver our brand promise of Insurance Made Easy. Several process improvements were undertaken to enhance digital customer experience. Phase 1 involved the roll out of auto check on AirAsia delayed flights via a system integration with AirAsia. The integration has simplified the claims process.

Customer journey mapping was undertaken for travel and motor claims. we stepped into our customer’s shoes and see the business from their perspective. One of the outcomes is the simplified damaged baggage claim process. Our customers are no longer required to submit a Property Irregularity Report. Tune Protect Re will obtain the report directly from AirAsia for Tune Protect Travel – AirAsia (baggage).

Other efforts include:

• Through the simplified Electronic Customer Experience Portal, we shortened the number of steps and columns for customers to fill.

• Enhanced the content of our website to ensure all information is current.

• Personalisation of SMS content for claims status including notification on motor claims status and notification on claims pay-out status of travel products.

• Motor insurance enrolment pack with a new road tax design complete with QR code. The QR code links to our microsite with key checklists on what to do during emergencies, auto assist contact number as well as the claims process.

• Through CarFix Apps, we have enabled windscreen claims function.

we have targets to enhance our Customer Service team in 2018. One of the other core focuses will be on mobile apps development. we want to reach and connect to our customers in a more seamless and meaningful way. The right mobile apps will enable us to reach our customers and integrate into their lives seamlessly.

we are also focusing on systematically digitising our entire value chain. we fully understand that this is not just us providing digital products and services but extends to engaging our customers digitally and assisting our agents in meeting their objectives by improving efficiency. It is part of our main agenda to simplify insurance and provide exceptional customer experience. Already, policy documents are emailed to customers. Other services such as claims as well as checking the status of claims are partly available online.

Our way of doing business is to do it ethically right, anchored on our Core values.

As part of our digital journey and efforts to improve our customer experience, we are reviewing our products to make them more relatable and conveniently accessible online. These include segregating features and benefits of our motor and travel protection plans to offer more specific coverage.

In reference to the score of our brand health, the ‘IN’ and ‘Skip the Drama’ campaigns have contributed to the increase in the latest total scores. Tune Protect brand also recorded highest growth in the category of motor insurance due to the campaigns which communicated the benefits of motor insurance to consumers. ‘Skip the drama’ campaign has also been awarded the ‘Best Campaign – Brand Awareness’ at the Mob-Ex Awards 2018. Our Brand Health Tracker (baseline in October 2016), recorded an increase from 31% to 45% for customers who were aware of our products in 2017, and from 25% to 29% for customers who considered our products. There were also increases in trial customers and repeat purchases from 15% to 20% and from 6% to 7% respectively. Meanwhile, customers loyalty grew from 3% to 5%.

while developing its online business, Tune Protect Malaysia will continue to strengthen and improve the quality of its traditional distribution channels, including its agency force. Tune Protect Malaysia has approximately 1,400 total agents and 21 branches across the country to serve non-digital based customers in our aim to bring simplified and tailor-made insurance to every layer of the community. we have in place ongoing efforts to train branch staff and agents on the completeness of documents for efficient claims submissions. Such efforts go back to our aim to ensure that customer satisfaction is at every level of the value chain.

Complaints Management

Tune Protect Group understands and values feedback by providing avenues for grievances and complaints. we view feedback as an opportunity to improve our products, services and processes so that we better serve our communities.

Tune Protect Travel – AirAsia

Customers can lodge their complaints by sending us an email, through our Business-to-Consumer website. Our customer experience team will acknowledge and attend to the complaints in a timely manner. The complaints will be escalated to the relevant units within Tune Protect for resolution within stipulated timelines, depending on the complexity of the complaints.

General Insurance Products

Tune Protect Malaysia has in place more than one channel for our customers to share their feedback with us. Customers may choose to write directly to the CEO, or the Ombudsman For FinancialServicesand/orBankNegaraMalaysia.

Customers may also choose to channel their complaints to our Customer Complaints Unit (“CCU”). The CCU will process the complaints received immediately by forwarding the complaints to the relevant departments. CCU will follow up on the complaints until the complaints are resolved. Resolution turnaround time varies, subject to the complexity of the case. In 2017, the average time taken to respond and resolve complaints was 9.1 days. we are striving to improve this average turnaround time.

#Key Focus Area 2DIGITAL SOLuTIONS, ACCESSIBILITy AND INNOvATION

we play an instrumental role to create awareness on the importance of insurance and to provide access to coverage. we benefited from branding and marketing strategies but in order to sustain, we need to be relevant and constantly meet the needs of customers. Our digital agenda is in tandem with the global shift towards the digital economy. In terms of products, we seek to be among the pioneers to offer “on-demand”, “usage-based” and “behavioral-based” insurance in the region.

Digitised Solutions

In March 2017 we integrated our systems into AirAsia’s Asset Integrity Management System (“AIMS”) which allows our team to directly access, check and verify customers’ claims for Flight Delay Insurance and On-time Guarantee Insurance. After the AIMS integration, the number of reopened insurances cases has dropped from 45 to 17 cases. It has also shortened the average process time from 13.6 days to 1.2 days.

In our Digital Global Travel segment, we are looking into offering more differentiated products to meet customers’ specific needs, such as protecting their baggage or mobile phones and gadgets.

Big data is an avenue for us to mine interesting and accurate predictors of risks. To harvest this information, we have invested in improving our digital capability and big data analytics to enhance underwriting models and platforms. Digitising claims processes allows easy online claims tracking and automates the renewal process while gravitating the Company towards paperless process. These functions apply to our travel products and Direct-to-Consumer products.

Product Accessibility

Tune Protect Group aims to be able to serve every layer of the community. Our ultimate aim is to ensure that the community receives access to insurance that is easy to understand and suits their needs.

Our Direct-to-Customer website is designed in easy to understand terms and conditions and constantly carries new offerings, making the process of purchasing coverage, simple and easy.

Currently we have 6 products on our Direct-to-Consumer website (Travel Easy, Motor Easy, PA Easy, Dental Easy, Guard Easy and Ride Easy). Our Business-to-Consumer website for Tune Protect Travel – AirAsia is available in 14 markets, where customers are allowed to purchase their travel insurance up to 1 hour before their scheduled flight time (except for Japan where 48 hours is required). The policy wording of Tune Protect Travel Easy and Tune Protect Travel – AirAsia have been simplified for better understanding by the public. This includes replacing technical terminologies with simpler wordings, incorporating necessary clauses and adopting consistent terminologies among many others.

Since our products are available in many different countries, we make sure that they are made available in multiple languages including English, Mandarin, Thai, Japanese and other languages to cater to our diverse and multicultural customer base.

Process Improvements in underwriting and Claims

Underwriting and claims are essential aspects of our business. we have established Underwriting Guidelines to manage and adequately assess the risks being underwritten. Our Claims Guidelines on the other hand detail operational controls surrounding the claims handling and settlement processes. Departmental manuals on the same subjects are made available to assist and guide employees in handling underwriting and claims processes. These documents are continuously updated.

Product Innovation

Innovative products require continuous change in meeting the needs of time and market. we work towards offering innovative products to our customers and enhancing their experience with us continuously as part of our brand promise of Insurance Made Easy. This includes customisation of products using dynamic pricing tools and customer profile centric based products that meet a wider scope of customers’ needs. Our products are also bundled together to meet our customers varying needs, especially the ones on the go. These products that provide complete insurance solutions and cover different lines of businesses and types of coverage, help us retain our customers. we are committed to providing more on-demand insurance to our customers and these products are in the planning stage. we will also consider the pricing and affordability of these products.

Tune Protect Dental Easy

Tune Protect Dental Easy is the first Premium Dental Health Insurance scheme in collaboration with Universal MediDent Sdn Bhd. This innovative insurance scheme is made affordable and offers cashless transaction for treatment in selected panel clinics. It provides a comprehensive dental treatment coverage within Malaysia for the most common dental treatments. This is among many other insurance coverage packages innovated by Tune Protect Group to meet the various growing needs of our customer base.

Motor Products

Effective July 2017, the liberalisation of Motor Tariff premiums allowed for insurers and takaful operators to determine premium pricing by taking into account broader risk factors which would drive fairer pricing, Tune Protect Group sees great advantage and opportunities in this move by Bank Negara Malaysia. we had launched Motor Easy through our online channel in 2017. we are now working with partners on improving telematics capabilities to ultimately be able to offer better and differentiated motor related products. However, as with any new regulatory change, we will closely monitor the market’s response to these changes and address any opposing reactions accordingly.

#Key Focus Area 3ENvIRONMENTAL INTEGRITy

we are aware of the impact of our business activities on the environment and have put in more efforts to manage our direct environmental impact in 2017.

In 2017, we set out to track and monitor environmental impacts in our office premise. During internal stakeholder engagement sessions, paper consumption management, energy management and waste management were identified as key focus areas as we move towards the concept of Green Office working towards reducing consumption, be it material or energy.

Paper Consumption Management

we recognise the impact of paper consumption on the environment and addressing this has encouraged us to move numerous products onto the digital platform rather than printing them on paper. we are even moving this habit to our value chain where policyholders are given the option to receive digital copies of their policies. Claims submissions for selected general insurance products can also be made entirely online.

Policies Issued(Digital e-commerce product) 2016 2017

Global travel 7.1 million 7.7 million

e-Commerce More than 7,500

More than 14,000

Internally, we are undertaking an exercise to quantify the volume and cost of paper usage. Our initial steps are the identifications of hot spots of high usage areas. Corrective action to minimise usage is then put in place via various efforts including campaigns to change habits, re-engineering of processes as well as digitising manual processes. In 2017, we consumed 2,808,720 sheets of paper for printing. In terms of non-printing paper usage in the office, 3,348 and 3,726 reams of paper were consumed in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Energy Management

we know small steps take us a long way and in that sense in our pursuit to reduce energy consumption, employees are encouraged to turn off lights and switches when not in use. where possible, employees are encouraged to utilise video conferencing tools instead of travelling for meetings. we will raise awareness among employees to reduce energy consumption in the future.

we have quantified our electricity consumption to cover our headquarters and 20 branches.

Employee Engagement

An engaged workplace is a thriving one. Employee engagement is a crucial aspect to organisational performance and one of the ways that we formally listen to our people is through our performance review. A key aspect to employee engagement in 2017 has been through culture building.

Culture is crucial to develop a sense of purpose to drive both individual capability and team spirit. Part of culture building also includes enhancing ethical decision-making to ensure values-based decision making. Ultimately, when there is clarity in terms of company culture, we are able to nurture individuals and teams that are resilient and will enable the business to navigate challenges.

To further promote a healthy and happy work environment where employees feel safe and secure, all grievances and incidences that are reported are subject to due process.

Grievance channels:

• workplace – reports to Group People & Culture

• Business partners – reports to Group Compliance

• Shareholders – reports to Group Compliance

• Our whistleblowing Policy enables grievances to be channelled anonymously.

Culture workshop

The Culture workshop is introduced through our induction programme to bring new hires through Company structure, business and values. we aimed to have almost 80% of new hires in 2017 undertake the Culture workshop and managed to achieve this target.

we also have personalised 1 to 1 onboarding for senior roles, and introduced a Buddy programme for new joiners for a duration of 6 months.

Change Energy Givers

Change Energy Givers (“CEG”) is part of our culture change movement in 2017. CEG is a group of employees empowered to propose and execute engagement activities that

promote the culture of the Company. The rationale is that culture is best brought to life by employees and for employees. while there is clear direction in terms of the scope of the workplace culture, we do not want it to be reduced to a mere document or brochure. Some of the activities undertaken in the past year include “Back-to-School” and events during festive celebrations such as Deepavali and Christmas party.

Refer to Our Stakeholders on page 34 for a list of more formal employee engagement channels.

#Key Focus Area 5LEARNING AND DEvELOPMENT

we provide our employees with many learning opportunities through project-based assignments, specific trainings, and the opportunity for cross-organisational moves. Employees are expected to shape their progress and development as we support them through various structured process and tools.

Supporting our employees to reach their potential and aspirations will help us to constantly innovate for the better. For this purpose, learning and development must be targeted and effective. we have in place the Performance Management Process ("PMP"). Through the PMP, we are able to ensure that the Company’s objectives are correctly prioritised while resources are allocated effectively. The PMP also ensures employees are

aware of their goals and targets and how they continue to enhance the overall success of the Company. This way, employees can continue to stay focused and motivated knowing exactly what is expected from them. The PMP provides a sound system and process that helps managers address non-performances effectively while reinforcing behaviours and competencies.

As part of our digitisation journey, we continuously empower our agents to shift their service orientation from offline one-to-one type of service to a more dynamic online-based insurance offering. One of our efforts is the participation in the Agents’ Professionalism and Excellence ("APEX") Roadmap introduced by PIAM. The objective of the programme is to upgrade professionalism and promote excellence in knowledge and service. The programme can be used by both new and existing agents.

In the same manner, we are also embarking on leadership development programmes to ensure that we attain the right ‘tone at the top’ with a focus on aligning our Senior Management with

the Company’s vision and values. In 2017, Senior Management benefitted from a workshop on self-awareness and effective communication styles. They were provided with insights on our digital vision, values and people management.

#Key Focus Area 6HEALTH AND wELL-BEING

A healthy and happy working environment most often produces a vibrant and thriving workforce, an aspect that is also reflected in our Core Values. To ensure our employees enjoy competitive benefits that reflect the current market and their expectations, in 2016, we revised the current employee benefits into one that is simpler and more flexible.

All our employees enjoy insurance coverage, maternity leave and paternity leave as outlined in our Employee Handbook. Flexible working hours are offered to certain employees depending on the situation. In addition to annual leave, our employees also enjoy special days or occasions such as birthday and marriage leaves as well.

#Key Focus Area 6wORKPLACE DIGITISATION

Aligning our workforce with our digital ambition, the Company has put in place various structures, systems and processes to digitise the workplace. Our e-Leave System was launched in 2015 and is accessible to Tune Protect Group and Tune Protect Re employees. Through the system, employees can apply and cancel or replace their leaves, along with access to list of Human Resources related documents. we plan to extend e-services to the rest of the HR services in future.

#Key Focus Area 6COMMuNITy ENGAGEMENT

Our community initiatives support national and regional development goals. we are focused on three areas: road safety, personal well-being and education. we work with different project partners to implement our programmes and activities. Our objective is to create a positive change in the community, especially through our long-term programmes.

Road Safety

In 2017, we partnered with the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (“MaGIC”), Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (“MDEC”) and Malaysian Road Safety Department (“JKJR”) to run the Safety on Streets (“SoS”) Challenge. The objectives of the campaign were to raise awareness on road safety in Malaysia, engage with youth and tap their creativity for innovative solutions and provide training and mentorship.

At heart, we want to empower customers by ensuring easy, accessible, transparent products and services.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board

The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility in establishing a sound risk management and internal control system as well as reviewing its adequacy and effectiveness. Due to the inherent limitations arising from human error, or external events, the Board recognises that the intention of such systems is not to eliminate all risks but to ensure the balance between growth, return goals, and risks.

In view of the above, the Board, through its Audit and Risk Management Committees, continues to review the established governance structure for ensuring adequate and effective oversight of risk and controls within the Group during a formal and regular schedule of meetings prefixed on an annual basis. The Board receives reports on regulatory developments, risk management, compliance, and internal audit activities, and monitors Management’s efforts to correct deficiencies identified.

Management

The Management is responsible for recommending and implementing Board-approved internal controls established in written policies and procedures. New initiatives, strategies, financial performances, goal achievements, risks, and other operational issues are discussed at formal meetings such as Group Management meetings. where deficiencies are identified, the Management directs effort into identifying root causes, and correcting situations that give rise to such deficiencies.

Day-to-day risk management functions and responsibilities lie with the business and functional support units as the first line of defence. The Risk Management function serves as the second line of defence, a central support infrastructure that deals with more pervasive, entity-wide risks, while the Internal Audit Function, the third line of defence, provides independent assurance on the effectiveness of the risk management approach. This structure aims to place accountability and ownership as close as possible to where the risks arise while facilitating an appropriate level of independence and segregation of duties between the business, the Risk Management

and Compliance functions, and Internal Audit. The Risk Management and Compliance functions report directly to the Risk Management Committee whilst the Internal Audit function reports directly to the Audit Committee.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s risk management framework is designed to ensure that risks which could undermine the Group’s strategies, business goals, objectives, reputation and long-term viability are identified timely, assessed and monitored within the risk appetite and risk tolerance limits approved by the Board. This is supported by a Group-wide risk management organisation structure that delineates the function of risk taking, risk oversight and policy making. The risk reporting lines, authorities, roles and responsibilities are clearly specified in the Risk Management Framework.

Risk Management Framework

Risk management has evolved into an important driver for strategic decisions in support of business strategies while balancing the appropriate level of risk taken to the desired level of rewards. The Group’s Board approved the Risk Management Framework details and the policies and processes for managing uncertainties in terms of risks and opportunities, building value for the Group’s stakeholders. The approved framework is carved out from the Bank Negara Malaysia Risk Governance policy document on what should be the building blocks of a Risk Management Framework. The policy document can be found at www.bnm.gov.my.

The policy document on Risk Governance sets out a framework of principles on risk governance to guide the Board and Management in performing their risk oversight function. Risks are identified using business mapping, and the likelihood rating table found in the risk management framework and the impact of those risks assessed based on a predefined Likelihood Rating table. Controls are then put in place and their effectiveness measured using a Control Effectiveness Rating table and any residual risks managed with the implementation of risk mitigation strategies. The Risk Dashboard, which contains the main risks and Risk Registers are consolidated and monitored on a quarterly basis. The results of the assessment are presented to the Risk Management Committee for their review and notation.

Compliance Management Framework

This Board-approved framework outlines the structure, and key processes, for identifying and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and internal policies and procedures. It serves to promote the importance of regulatory and operations compliance, and connection to corporate values, as well as to ensure compliance obligations are met by establishing monitoring and reporting mechanisms for instances of non-compliance and tracking remedial actions. Compliance obligations registers are consolidated for review and monitoring by the Risk Management Committee.

INTERNAL AuDIT

The Group's internal audit function is governed by International Professional Practices Framework (“IPPF”) that organises authoritative guidance promulgated by The Institute of Internal Auditors (“IIA”), a global, guidance setting body. The IIA provides internal audit professionals worldwide with authoritative guidance organised in the IPPF.

The Group’s in-house Internal Audit function provides independent assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the systems of risk management and internal control. High impact risk areas identified are periodically assessed and form the basis of the risk-based internal audit plan and strategy. Internal Audit activities are approved by and monitored quarterly by the Board, through the Audit Committee. Remedial actions by Management arising from internal audit findings are tracked by the Audit Committee until resolution. A summary of key activities performed by the Internal Audit function as well as Audit Committee oversight is available in the Audit Committee Report on pages 78 to 79.

The Group has two (2) in-house Internal Audit departments; one in Tune Protect Group and the other in its subsidiary, Tune Protect Malaysia.
