Testimonials:
Hear what our students have to say about their experience at MII.

My involvement in the Malaysian Insurance Institute (MII) Fellowship Programme has seen me becoming an agent of real change, creating a pathway for my staff to not only become more competent, but also to achieve higher professional qualifications. This has ultimately benefited both my company and the wider industry. Participation in the MII Fellowship Programme has thus been a definite boost for my career. I have gained new insights into programme management and delivery and have been encouraged to examine new potentialities. I have also become a truly valued employee, trusted with increased responsibility and leadership tasks, particularly in the area of General Insurance and the conducting of technical programmes.

Ms Mangiatilagam K. Velautham, FMII

FMII is the most prestigious qualification one can attain in Malaysia and I am challenging myself to do it. It had been my dream and vision to be a person who can contribute to the community. I want to contribute to the general insurance industry and hope that by attaining the Fellowship of MII, I can further propel my learning and sharing via the MII platform to the industry. The main purpose is to assist our industry to achieve a higher professional level and create greater awareness among the general public of insurance.

Ethics in Business (EIB) has given me insights on ethics and how impactful ethics in business is, especially for leaders. We know the importance of being ethical, but the EIB module made me to truly understand the role one needs to play and the impact it creates. One person’s role may be insignificant, but many individual roles coming together, make a huge impact. Hence everything starts from one person and that person is us. And all of this starts from becoming an ethical leader and that ethical training needs to start very early in a person’s professional career.

Mr Weng Eu Gene, FMII

As a Fellow I look forward to applying the skills that I had acquired through the FMII programme to move to a significant role with greater responsibilities and challenges. Possibly to a Chief Underwriter role of a renowned Insurance company, so that I can contribute my knowledge to greater heights. Overall, this journey was fulfilling as I embarked to grow my skills as a whole-rounded Insurance expert.
