HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 August 2024 – MSIG Insurance (Hong Kong) Limited (“MSIG”) today published its fifth annual MSIG Claims Report which presents the total claims honoured in Hong Kong and Macau during the year as well as the insurer’s latest initiatives. In 2023, MSIG’s claims settlement ratio reached 93.2% – which has been rising since 2020.

In 2023, MSIG honoured claims totalling HK$312,824,598 in Hong Kong and Macau. The Annual Claims Survey found that the top settlement ratios by class were Employee’s Compensation in Hong Kong at 99.63%, followed by Domestic Helper at 97.75% and Marine at 97.14%.

Multiple extreme weather events affected Hong Kong during the autumn of 2023, with a powerful typhoon followed by one of the heaviest periods of rainfall since records began – all of which caused significant damage. MSIG handled over 840 claims related to these events while maintaining clear and timely lines of communication with customers and providing assurance during a difficult and uncertain period.

Philip Kent, Chief Executive Officer of MSIG Hong Kong
, said: “We have always believed that insurance is ultimately a human-to-human industry, and that behind every claim is a personal story. Our investments into our claims processes and tools aim to provide even greater assurance to our customers that they have the support they need when they need it. Be it through medical, travel, home or extreme weather-related protection, we are here to help them on their life journey. I’m proud of the efforts of our teams and look forward to further enhancing our digital capabilities and continuing to offer an extraordinary service experience to our customers as their trusted partner.”

MSIG’s focus on the customer experience has resulted in industry recognition for claims excellence, receiving notable awards in 2023:

  • Top three finalist in the category of “Outstanding Claims Management Award – General Insurance” – Hong Kong Insurance Awards 2023, organised by the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers
  • “Outstanding Claims Management – Hong Kong” – The InsuranceAsia News Country Awards for Excellence 2023

MSIG further enhanced its claims processes in 2023 with the launch of Zero Touch, a digital solution for claims assessment that streamlines verification of customers’ claims history, policy validity and claims payment amounts.

The insurer introduced the MediGo Member Portal for group medical customers, providing comprehensive information on MSIG’s outpatient network supported by online claims submission and tracking functions. The new portal has significantly reduced the time it takes to settle claims, with customers receiving their settlement confirmation in as quickly as one working days after submission.

MSIG is continuing to enhance its processes around green claims and prioritise environmental protection for future generations through a range of new initiatives. As part of the insurer’s environmentally-conscious and customer-centric approach, it implemented “Eco Living Coverage” for Home Insurance products in Hong Kong and Macau. The coverage from these products now provides an additional allowance of up to HK$1,000 per eligible lost or damaged household appliance, replacing it with a new Energy Label Product that has a minimum Grade 2 recognition under the Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme in Hong Kong.

PMCE’s Solar Expansion Brings Solar Solutions to Small Business Buildings


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 August 2024 – PMCE, a solar company in Singapore, announces its latest initiative aimed at empowering small businesses with sustainable energy through solar panel solutions.

PMCE Solar Panels in Singapore
PMCE Solar Panels in Singapore

Supplying Solar Panels to Small Businesses

Aside from residential landed properties, Singapore has several buildings with roofs that are comparable in size to residential houses but do not have solar panel installation services catered to them. As economic benefits often weigh more than environmental impact, most businesses operating from these buildings tend to continue utilising existing energy sources instead of opting for greener alternatives.

Understanding that small businesses require solar panel systems different from those installed on larger commercial buildings and residential use, PMCE hopes to tap into this overlooked market. By focusing on the entrepreneurial mindset of small business owners, PMCE sees an opportunity to not just offer services, but to ignite a movement towards sustainable entrepreneurship. The company wants to encourage entrepreneurs to take control of their energy consumption, reduce costs, and amplify their impact on the environment.

To add value to their customers and offer better experiences, PMCE aims to initiate a customer relationship application where all solar project information can be accessed with a simple click on a smart device. This intuitive platform not only simplifies project management but also emphasises transparency and accountability, ensuring that customers are always informed to make data-driven decisions.

They will also be offering Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to help their customers receive additional remuneration from generating solar power. This provides a tangible financial benefit that complements the environmental advantages of solar energy.

Businesses operating in these buildings can expect absolute assurance of economic viability and support for their sustainability portfolio when they install solar panels on their roofs as part of this new initiative.

Anticipating Market Trends and Demands

With the introduction of this new service, demand for solar PV systems will only continue to rise. PMCE plans to meet this increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions by developing their CRM solutions and streamlining their sales and operations processes to increase productivity. This will allow the lead time to shorten to seven days from the moment a customer reaches out to them to the day of solar panel installation.

Future Plans

PMCE envisions its role in the renewable energy sector as a leader and innovator in the coming years and they aim to expand its reach not just within Singapore but also globally. This includes leveraging their expertise to enter new markets and forge international partnerships to achieve net-zero emissions and preserve the environment.

Besides selling solar panels, PMCE also intends to incorporate its project management capabilities, CRM solutions, and sales processes in regional markets such as Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines.

At the conference, Zhongshan showcased its unique location, sound and handy industrial support, broad and high-quality development space, collaborative and open innovation ecosystem, efficient and convenient administrative services, practical investment policies, and pleasant and superior living environment, inviting global investors to invest in Zhongshan and the Greater Bay Area.

The theme of the conference was “Sharing the New Link and Seizing New Opportunities.” For the first time, Zhongshan solicited projects in the innovative form of voluntary registration, attracting nearly 200 enterprise representatives from all over the world to register for the conference within three days. The conference was highlighted by the announcement that 20,000 mu (around 1,333.333 hectares) of industrial land will be available in the year, providing ample space for high-quality projects.

As a key manufacturing base in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Zhongshan is home to 34 industrial categories as well as three hundred-billion-yuan industrial clusters and eight ten-billion-yuan ones. The projects signed at the event involve advanced manufacturing industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing, next-generation information technology, biomedicine and health care, new energy, new materials, and the low-altitude economy, as well as modern service industries such as cultural tourism, new retail, high-end catering, and hotels. The project footprint extends to the United States, Spain, and key regions in China.

As a super project, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link generates super effects, including strong support for the integrated development of the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary and facilitation for the “one-hour living circle” within the Greater Bay Area. Zhongshan is evolving into an ideal investment destination for domestic and overseas investors.

Ferring Pharmaceuticals, among these investors, is a biopharmaceutical company founded in Sweden in 1950. Jens Regelin, the Senior Vice President of the Global Manufacturing Network at Ferring Pharmaceuticals, attributed the rapid development of Ferring’s Zhongshan plant in the past nearly 20 years to the Zhongshan government’s support of the pharmaceutical industry, an excellent business environment, strong economic vitality, and rich talent pipeline. The recently opened Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link makes the Zhongshan location even more advantageous. As a result, this year the company has decided to transfer more products to its Zhongshan site.

Klaus Zenkel, Vice President of the European Chamber and Chair of the South China Chapter, noted that the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link brings new opportunities. “We have seen many high tech companies already here, and I think that more companies will settle in Zhongshan because it is more accessible. It has a short distance to Shenzhen and to Nansha , Guangzhou. It’s a very good location now in Zhongshan. And Zhongshan has an advantage in the land area”.

Wang Jialiang, Chairman of Beijing Honghui Energy Development Co., Ltd., acknowledged Zhongshan’s first-class business environment, high administrative service efficiency, and professional services, which have strengthened the company’s confidence in the city. “We aspire to become a world-leading high-tech energy storage enterprise in Zhongshan. In the next few years, we expect to achieve an output value of tens of billions of yuan and export our products to the world.”

The business environment is competitiveness. Zhongshan takes business environment optimization as the “top priority” in reform, making every effort to foster a world-class business environment that is market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized. In the second City Aggregate Credit Index rating in 2024, Zhongshan was ranked first among prefecture-level cities in China.

At the event, videos were played to present Zhongshan’s investment and business environment, and to attract investment for the industrial space in the city.
