Your Rights in Malaysia

Malaysia's Financial Services Act 2013 and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 ensure fair treatment for all policyholders.

1

You have a 30-day internal appeal window — your insurer must provide a written response to your complaint within 30 calendar days of receiving it.

2

OFS mediation is completely free for disputes up to RM250,000. You do not need a lawyer. OFS handles life, general, and takaful insurance complaints.

3

BNM complaint hotline (BNMLINK) allows you to escalate directly to the regulator if your insurer fails to respond or you believe they have breached conduct standards.

4

Under the Financial Services Act 2013, insurers must act fairly and transparently. Denials must be supported by clear policy terms and communicated in writing with reasons.
