TYPES OF POLICIES

i. Full Value Policies
These types of policies are usually subject to the Average Clause. Therefore, in order to ensure adequate indemnity at the time of loss the proposer must insure his property for the full value. The correct sum insured should be what the proposer considers to be  the highest amount at risk at any one time.
If the stock is subject to frequent fluctuation, then arrangements may be made to have a declaration endorsement attached to the  Policy stipulating monthly or quarterly declarations of the highest values during either the month or quarter respectively, similar to  the Declaration Conditions applicable to Fire policies.


ii. First Loss Policies
These can be issued where the size of the risk and the nature of stock make such a policy appropriate. The sum insured must be not less than the anticipated maximum probable single loss and in no event should it be less than 10% of the total value of the property covered.
A First Loss policy should also not be granted when the total sum insured is less than RM 25,000.00. Where the cover is arranged on this basis, the insured should declare the Full Value of the property at risk and the sum insured proposed for insurance. Average will apply should the actual Full Value be less than that declared.

RM3.6 Million Computer Chip Robbery - Malacca; 17 Jul 07

 

Saturday December 13, 2008

RM47m Intel heist solved

By ANDREA FILMER


GEORGE TOWN: Police have classified the RM47mil Intel Technology Sdn Bhd microchip heist in 2006 as solved but the case remains open as the goods have yet to be recovered.

State deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid said more than 30 suspects had been arrested but none had been charged as there was insufficient evidence.

“Under the Emergency Ordinance, eight of the suspects were sent to the Simpang Renggam detention centre for two years while the remaining suspects were released.

“The goods cannot be recovered so we do not regard this as an achievement. We have classified the case as solved since we have identified the robbers, but not closed,” he said, adding that they suspected the microchips had been smuggled out of the country.

The heist, one of the country’s biggest and most daring, involved more than 20 robbers who stormed the Second Air Cargo Complex in Batu Maung in two trailers and escaped with 585 cartons and 18 pallets of microchips. Seventeen people were hurt during the robbery.

On a related matter, SAC Salleh told a press conference at investPenang yesterday that Penang’s crime index had declined.

He said the state police were focusing on improving their delivery system and crime prevention strategies.

The programmes for next year would be announced by Penang CPO Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob soon, he added.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who chaired the press conference, said the state was looking into a proposal to set up a permanent police base at each end of the Penang Bridge.

On the use of the Emergency Ordinance on the suspected Intel robbers which involved the use of detention without trial, Lim said the disclosure of this information “did not mean we (Pakatan Rakyat) supported the law” as Pakatan had made its stand on the issue “very clear”.Thursday December 11, 2008
