Tokio Marine Life astounds once again with their new and improved digital initiatives with RHB


 In line with their company values, Tokio Marine Life Insurance Malaysia Bhd. (“TMLM”) strikes once again with its ongoing digitalisation initiatives over the past few years. While executing their “go greener” paperless initiative, TMLM also has been focusing on delivering seamless customer experience digitally. 


Amidst the global pandemic and “new normal” of social distancing and precautions in public, digitalisation is the definite way to move forward and TMLM’s digital initiatives offer a wider array of improved services and functions for customer’s convenience. 


Commenting on these efforts, TMLM’s Chief Executive Officer, Toi See Jong, said “Digital convenience is no longer an advantage, it is a necessity. Therefore, we have taken the necessary actions to develop and launch various digitalisation efforts for the ease and convenience of our customers and even our staff, improving their productivity.”


Not only does TMLM focus on digital efforts internally with their paperless initiative and various apps, but their determination also expands into partnerships with other big players in the industry. Continuing the 12-year long partnership, RHB Bank Berhad (“RHB”) and TMLM take their joint efforts further by enhancing staff efficiency through digital innovation via the Banca mobile application. This mobile application is designed to improve staff productivity and enhance quality of sales. 


Through this app, sales staff can easily access the e-cademy feature, enabling them to perform training courses at the convenience of their smartphone, where their results will be displayed immediately after completion as well as a one-glance view of their completed continuous professional development (CPD) hours and courses. 


The app also has a Nationwide Dashboard, which can be viewed holistically by all HQ staff and branch managers, enabling them to keep track of their nationwide sales along with their staff performance that is summarised by region. There is also a Leaderboard that enables ranking viewing by regions and branches to keep track of the performance of each region. These features not only improved overall staff productivity, but there have been increase in quality of sales through the digital advances. 


“We are pleased to continue our strategic partnership with Tokio Marine to further embed digitalisation into our customers’ lifestyle and business needs. Speed continues to drive digital innovation and recognising this, these digital solutions aim to improve productivity through promoting better sales quality,” said Jeffrey Ng, Managing Director of Group Community Banking, RHB Banking Group.

 

Another front runner in these digitalisation efforts is T-Marine Pro, a sales advisor tool that enables sales professionals to communicate with customers at any time. As this is a link-based tool, TMLM sales representatives will not need to face the hassle of installing any apps to activate the service that is also available on all types of devices. Sales representatives can now approach any potential customers anywhere, on their personal devices. This comes as a major convenience to the sales representatives, customers, and office staff during this unprecedented pandemic as TMLM minimises face-to-face meetings, keeping everyone safe and sound. Most significantly, this e-submission tool enables digital signatures and e-submission in addition to possessing an OTP function. 


T-Marine Pro will also continue going through enhancements, and this year we are looking to equipping it with lead generation integration for activity tracking and an auto underwriting engine, which ultimately increases the business capacity exponentially. 


In addition, TMLM had launched the oneTokio mobile application, a customer servicing tool with convenience in mind for its users. Forgoing the hassle of storing physical policies and contracts, oneTokio allows policyholders to stay informed of their policy while on the go, regardless of where they are or the time of day. The app also enables them to have convenient access to features like e-Medical Card with claim history, e-Correspondence (view and download policy statements and letters), details about Unclaimed Money (moneys which are legally payable to the owner but have remained unpaid, or moneys standing to the credit or trade account) and Fund Prices (for investment-linked plans). Plus, clients can also find their Life Advisor's contact details (a great panic-reliever feature when quick advice is needed), have access to an e-Payment feature (with payment reminder, so no more missing payments), and are able to make an appointment with a TMLM representative before visiting any branches, as well as able to refer to the list of panel hospitals and their addresses that are connected to Google Maps.

oneTokio is also made available to non-registered users, who can get free, useful health-related information, such as: checking for Unclaimed Money, access to Online Will Templates (users can download these for free and use them to create their own will), and TMLM's panel hospitals. Non-registered users who are interested in investment-linked plans will also be able to view fund price movements and history on oneTokio, besides getting access to fund performance reports. 


In 2020, TMLM and RHB co-launched Perlindungan Tenang TokioMarine-StarterPack (“Perlindungan Tenang Campaign”), a simple and affordable Life Protection Plan offered digitally to all Malaysians as part of RHB’s Community Banking on-going digital initiatives. As the plan successfully helped over 24,000 families in need, this year, the campaign has been extended and enhanced to ‘Tenang Hero Campaign’, with a rebranding name of TokioMarine E-ssential Tenang Plan. Just like before, users are able to self-enrol online at an affordable price, and in addition, will now get free festive accidental coverage, post COVID-19 vaccination support 2.0 (until 31 December 2022) and Tenang Voucher cashback rewards.


So far, there has been over 22,000 online insurance cases completed, with more potential cases. TMLM aims to achieve a fully digitalised system with 100% online transactions and policies, in the future. Digitalisation has enabled RHB’s sales staffs to facilitate successful transactions and expand its customer base by efficiently reaching out to more customers. With the ongoing partnership with RHB, TMLM is confident in becoming a digital powerhouse for insurance in the near future.

Unfold lasting joy with devices as sturdy as the Galaxy Z Series!

 With smartphones becoming our daily companions, they are bound to experience its fair share of mishaps. Simple clumsy fumbling of the phone is one of the most frequent reasons of a tumbled phone. Yet, certain smartphones, like the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, are a little more rugged and klutz-proof than others. Whether you flip or fold, these devices come equipped with water-resistance, an armor-aluminum reinforced frame, an optimized panel layer, and a tireless hinge for peace of mind in any lifestyle – continuing a tradition of immaculate craftsmanship.


Having one of our strongest Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along with the toughest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™ now on the cover screen and rear glass, further ensures your device is secured. The Galaxy Z series also includes a new stretchy PET[1] protective coating and optimized display panel layers, resulting in a more durable main screen[2] -- which together provides a more robust device that could possibly withstand daily bumps.


 


According to Kuba Klawiter, a well-known Polish tech YouTuber with over 800K subscribers took it upon himself to conduct a durability test on the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. The test was conducted in a live streaming format on Klawiter’s international YouTube channel Mrkeybrd for 143 hours (#5 days, 22 hours, 30 minutes) and the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G endured 418 502 folds. The goal was to expose users to a variety of possible scenarios and settings, including ice, dirt and sand, to evaluate how well the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G holds up in the end.[3]


 


You can only expect the unexpected when you’re out on your everyday quests, thus having a sturdy smartphone like the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G that is durable and long-lasting will offer you a peace of mind like no other!

Samsung Unveils Experiential Virtual Playground ‘Space Tycoon’ on Roblox


 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of Samsung Space Tycoon (“Space Tycoon”), a virtual playground built inside the global metaverse platform Roblox. Space Tycoon is a virtual space where users can create, play games and share experiences using Samsung Electronics’ products together with alien characters in space, taking design and functionality cues from business simulation ‘tycoon’ genre.


Samsung has created this service targeting Gen Z customers to provide them with an integrated, metaverse experience where they can create and enjoy their very own Samsung products. Samsung’s aim is to enable Gen Z customers to experience the brand and interact with one another.


“Space Tycoon is designed to be a playground where many customers can experience unlimited possibilities of virtual spaces,” said Jinsoo Kim, Executive Vice President at Corporate Design Center in Samsung Electronics. “We wanted to give our Gen Z customers a chance to experience Samsung products in a way they have never done before. We will continue to showcase content that can deliver more meaningful and entertaining digital experiences for both our current and future customers.”



Set in the Samsung Space Station as well as the research laboratory where alien characters conduct research on Samsung’s newest products, Space Tycoon consists of three specific play areas: the Mining Zone for resource procurement, the Shop for game item purchase and the Lab for product manufacturing.


In Space Tycoon, using the excavated resources, users can design various Samsung products — from Galaxy-smartphones to various TVs and home appliances — and purchase or upgrade game items. Users can get creative by starting with real-life products and giving them a makeover to become in-game gadgets. For example, the foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip can turn into a bag or a scooter, just as users will be more imaginative with the Jet Bot vacuum cleaner turning into a hoverboard or The Sero lifestyle TV into a one-person helicopter.


Currently, over 20 Samsung products are available in the Shop where the colors of the purchased items can change randomly depending on the levels achieved and new series of products will be regularly updated.

Space Tycoon will simultaneously launch in 14 languages, including Korean, English, Chinese and Spanish. Additional features where users can interact with one another, share their creations and attend exclusive virtual parties will be further added in the future. In addition, Samsung will hold dedicated online events through its website Samsung.com under the #YouMake campaign that is focused on coloring and collecting Samsung products.

TM Roh: Foldables are transforming and reshaping the mobile market, and Samsung is leading that evolution


During a recent visit to Indonesia, TM Roh expressed confidence in the continued popularity of foldable smartphones globally. In addition to discussing trends in the mobile market, he spoke about the mobile business in Southeast Asia and the role of technology in shaping the future.


Unfolding the Potential of Foldables

TM Roh noted that Samsung’s foldable phones have redefined what is possible in the industry, like the Galaxy Note Series did, and will continue to set new standards in mobile technology. 


“Foldables are transforming and reshaping the mobile market. As the pioneer and leader of the foldable smartphone category, we are focused on delivering incredible foldable experiences that enhance our consumers’ everyday lives,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics' MX (Mobile eXperience) Business. “We will continue to develop the unique advantages of the Galaxy foldables, such as viewing on a large screen using a compact and durable device, taking photos and videos in Flex mode, multitasking on split screens with an S Pen and enjoying a unique user experience with the new foldable form factor. We will also enhance the foldables experience through partnerships with industry leaders, such as Google, to support more applications and services for foldable devices.”


The popularity of foldable form factors is expected to continue. In 2021, the global sales volume of foldable smartphones grew more than four times as compared to 2020, exceeding the market growth forecast by three times. The success of the Galaxy Z series is testament to the increasing appetite for foldable smartphones, with sales of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Z Flip3 5G in a single month exceeding the cumulative sales of foldable phones in 2020. 


Best-in-Class Mobile Experiences for All Smartphone Users

Expounding on Samsung’s mission to make the latest and best in mobile technology more accessible, he said, “For more than a decade, Samsung has played a key role in laying the foundation for a new generation of connectivity in 5G by working with local regulators and carriers in Southeast Asia. While 5G networks are still limited in this region, I’m committed to ensuring that consumers in this region are equipped to benefit from 5G connectivity as soon as the infrastructure is available. And I’m confident that Samsung’s 5G devices will be the first choice for users in Southeast Asia and Oceania, and across the globe as well.”


5G technology is a key enabler of integrated mobile experience with Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem, which revolves around the Galaxy smartphones as its hub. The ecosystem offers seamless experiences between the smartphone and multiple devices, such as products in the Galaxy Watch and Buds series, and even provides a PC-like experience with Galaxy tablets through Samsung Dex. 


He said, “While we have consistently focused our efforts on improving the smartphone experience for users, we also recognize the growing demand for a connected lifestyle. We are continually innovating to improve and expand our ecosystem to bring more convenience to Galaxy users and to help them achieve their aspirations.” 


He also mentioned the diversity of the region, which includes developing markets where mid-tier smartphones continue to be important drivers for Samsung.


“By having a keen understanding of our target consumers’ needs, we are able to maintain the affordability of our mid-tier smartphones while providing a great mobile experience as we focus on strengthening specifications of priority product features, such as the battery, memory, performance, and 5G capabilities. In addition, various features from the flagship smartphones, such as the enhanced cameras, and dustproof and water resistant, are extended to the Galaxy A series,” said TM Roh.


Shaping the Future with Innovative Sustainability Efforts 

Recognizing the role it plays in using technology as a force for good, Samsung has been expanding its Galaxy for the Planet commitment and putting sustainability at the center of its innovations. “I always emphasize the importance of sustainability in every single thing we do, from the way we design, manufacture, and recover materials throughout the product lifecycle to protect our planet.” 


He also highlighted how Samsung has been working closely with a group of young inspirational changemakers, who are committed to using technology to innovate for humanity and mobilize global communities, through Generation17. The global partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) aims to advance the 17 Global Goals.


In February this year, two Generation17 Young Leaders from the Southeast Asia and Oceania were invited to join the global initiative for the first time: Tamara Dewi Gondo Soerijo from Indonesia, a social enterprise founder working  to empower refugee women by providing upskilling opportunities, and Thuy Anh Ngo from Vietnam, who launched a mobile app to educate the elderly on physical and mental health. 


Dominated by a large population of youth, the Southeast Asia and Oceania region has seen a rapid rise in the growth of the digital economy, driven by the ambitions, lifestyles and technological skillsets of young digital natives.  


He said, “The reason we, at Samsung, must champion a more open world is that our future demands it. Our younger consumers want authentic, personal experiences as a way to express themselves and create new opportunities. We take pride in enabling a world where technology connects and inspires us all.”

A Tablet for All Careers: Empowering Interesting Jobs with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra


 Have you ever wished you could turn your passion into a career?

Today’s youth are eager to forge new career paths for themselves in pursuit of purpose, passion, and flexibility. Technology has played a major role in this development, opening the door to unlimited possibilities by affording this next generation workforce the power and autonomy to make their work truly their own.   

Today, we spotlight three individuals who have taken the path less travelled, and the role played by the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in boosting productivity and optimising their work experiences across a range of interesting and unconventional career paths.

Dissecting Lives Through Handwriting

 


What if there was a way to look into a person’s soul without even having to speak to them? Enter the world of graphology with handwriting expert Siti Sulianah, an adept at gleaning insight into personality through the analysis of handwriting traits such as strokes, pressure and spaces. 

What started off as a means of conflict resolution between friends in her youth soon grew into a calling for Sulianah, who today puts her skills to use in a professional capacity at her self-founded graphology company. On top of handwriting analysis, Sulianah provides graphotherapy services—conscious alteration to handwriting to effect desired change in personality. 


 


The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, with its super-fast 4nm processor and smoothest S Pen yet, not only replicates but elevates the pen-and-paper experience. “I’m very impressed with the S Pen, which is extremely sharp in capturing tiny handwriting details that would require a magnifying glass to examine if they were written on paper,” shared Sulianah. The multi-screen functionality of the tablet also greatly streamlines her analysis process, as annotations and note-taking can be done concurrently and housed within the same device, with minimal disruption to workflow. In addition, graphotherapy consultations are made more effective with live S Pen demonstrations via video call, as compared to static image references in the past. 


Bees in Need


Drizzled on pancakes or stirred into tea, honey has a way of making every sweet treat a little more delectable. For most, however, the first thought that comes to mind upon seeing a beehive is to call for pest control. This is where bee rescuer Xavier Tan hopes to shift the conversation away from bee extermination, and instead towards humane methods of bee removal. 

An animal lover from a young age, Xavier grew to understand the importance of bees as a keystone species, without which the ecosystem would drastically change for the worse. He thus went on to establish a bee rescue organisation with the mission of saving the bees through conservation and educational efforts. On top of bee relocation to their gardens, the group is actively involved in raising awareness on beekeeping practices as well as methods of peaceful co-existence.

 


A powerful all-in-one device with a 12.4” Super AMOLED screen, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is a device Xavier never finds himself without when out on bee rescue missions. Before, during and after shots of these missions are captured with the tablet’s powerful camera, and then transformed into informative video content using the tablet’s in-built video-editing functions. “The large display size of the tablet allows me to share my content clearly and effectively with clients and visitors,” shared Xavier.


Let’s Talk… to Your Pets

 


Have you ever wished you knew exactly what was going on in the head of your furry friend? For Ezekiel Ong, this tacit and intimate understanding of animals forms the basis of his work at his self-founded animal communications company, where he receives, interprets, and relays information from pets to their owners. 

His first foray into the field of animal communication was driven by the need to bid a final farewell to his beloved pet that passed on. Today, Ezekiel strives to help others better understand their pets by acting as a bridge between the two. His work includes helping owners find out more about their pets’ behaviour and well-being, getting in touch with pets who have passed on, and conducting animal communication workshops.

 


The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra greatly optimises Ezekiel’s pet consultation process through the computerisation of handwritten and typewritten notes enabled by its S Pen and magnetically attached keyboard respectively. Video calls with overseas clients also go off without a hitch thanks to the tablet’s powerful processor, and stunning video and audio quality. “The tablet also allows me to carry notes and course materials around with ease, combined with a long battery life that makes lessons very efficient,” shared Ezekiel. 

Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Though the adage rings true, pursuing the path less travelled is equal parts exciting and daunting, and requires a tenacity and strength of will exemplified by Sulianah, Xavier and Ezekiel. If you’re looking to turn your passion into a profession, why not unlock your fullest potential with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra?

How Our Local E-Sports Gamer Achieves That Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Streak with the Galaxy A53 5G!

  

Whether you’re an avid gamer who spends hours on PUBG and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang or even a newbie, having the finest smartphone, like the Galaxy A53 5G, helps gamers to be the best players they can be – and the same can be said for Muhammad Nur Ihsan, or better known as San Gaming, a professional e-sport gamer, streamer, and content creator in the gaming world. 

Checking off nearly all the boxes for top specs and extensively-supported feature-packed software combined with the most powerful chipset to date, at a wonderful bargain – the Galaxy A53 5G undoubtedly is the ultimate mid-range device for dedicated gamers. 

For starters, the Galaxy A53 5G is equipped with 16GB RAM (8GB physical RAM + 8GB virtual RAM) and is generous with its internal storage of 256GB  – offering San a boosted gaming experience – increasing his performance even when multitasking or under the demands of powerful apps and programs.

What’s more, the screen is massive. Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display, with a peak brightness of 800 nits , is bright and easy to see in the daylight – allowing San to comfortably use his smartphone for both leisure time and work. San also gets to enjoy an electrifying gaming experience thanks to its immersive screen that can spark your senses and bring your game to life.


Just like every other gamer, San’s weakness is slow game performance. Thankfully, the Galaxy A53 5G packs in a powerful 5nm Exynos 1280 chip – offering better connectivity with higher fps, giving players an optimized gaming experience that will lead you to victory. The device also refreshes at 120Hz, elevating San’s gaming performance by making load times faster, gameplay smoother, and graphics more powerful and life-like. Similarly, you can have the fastest gaming experience anytime and anywhere with its reliable connectivity of ultra-fast 5G connectivity. 

As a heavy gamer, San does not have to worry about the device heating up while relying on its mobile powerhouse for his strenuous gaming demands due to its innovative cooling system that can dissipate heat more efficiently than ever before!

 


Longevity is also just as crucial especially when you’re spending most of your time gaming on your phone. You do not have to worry about your phone dying on you in the middle of a serious battle – with a long lasting 5,000mAh battery , it can keep gamers winning challenges up to two-days . If you are running low on power, the device supports up to 25W fast charging  that gets your device recharged in no time – this allows San to get back into the battlefield in no time! 

Aside from that, as a streamer and content creator too, San relies heavily on the device’s camera. “The Optical Image Stabilization Camera is really helpful! And I do not need to have good lighting as the camera function itself is able to deliver clear and sharp photos even in low light conditions,” he praised. 

The upgraded multi-lens camera on the Galaxy A53 5G, which includes a 12MP Ultra Wide Camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), is better than ever for a stable clarity in each picture. It can manage all of the jitters and shakes, resulting in smooth, crisp footage even in low light, making it perfect for daily video shooting. Furthermore, its 32MP front camera captures high-quality selfies, which are perfect for sharing victorious moments on social media!

Smartphones are becoming more capable gaming devices. The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is no exception – with its upgraded performance, gamers can constantly remain ahead of the game and maintain their winning streak – it’s the ideal gaming companion for professional gamer, San.
