“Since the launch of the Etiqa brand in November 2007 with the brand platform of humanizing insurance and takaful, we have taken every effort to ensure that the brand is cascaded to every single member of the Etiqa family. Our attributes are encapsulated in our behavior, work culture, how we treat our customers, even to the extent of our products and services. We have simplified processes and empowered our people to give customers positive experiences when dealing with us. This is the Etiqa difference,” added Shahril.
Kuala Lumpur Islamic Forum (KLIFF) has been held annually since year 2004 and the 8th KLIFF 2011 is currently held at Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur between October 3rd – 7th, 2011 to offer an integrated basis for promoting Islamic financial system dialogue among speakers and delegates to foster the orderly development of an efficient, competitive, sound and innovative Islamic finance.
