Prudential is always able to innovate and offer you relevant products. They will offer you a wide range of life insurance and investment-linked products to meet the customer needs from time to time. And I can see their effort in continuing to enhance existing offerings and explore new ones to suit customer requirements.

My insurance agent recommended me to put money in Prudential PruSaver account instead of bank’s FD since year 2006. For me, it will be more on savings plan. If you prefer to save instead of invest, you can consider this plan. However, I have made wrong decision as I quit this plan during recession time. If not, I will have great amount of units available now. I have reconsidered to continue this plan, which put RM200 as monthly savings.

Many people also agree that prices always go up instead of going down. The value of money will go down. When every Malaysian is trying hard to cope with the fuel price hike, sugar price hike, and cigarette price hike, the news on new electricity tariff has caught everyone attention as well.

Our current electricity tariff is – the first 200 kW of usage, the rate is 0.218(rate) x 200(unit) but if your electricity usage is beyond the first 200 kW, the rate is 0.334. Let say if your electricity tariff for the month is 225 units, then the calculation will be like this:

200 kWh x 0.218 = RM43.60
25 kWh x 0.334 = RM8.35

Total = RM51.95
