The announcement today surely wasn’t a surprise given the rising trend of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia. While we can continue to go back into time and blame the politicians for what happened during the Sabah elections, to be fair this time around it isn’t just them – a lot of us took things for granted over the past 2 months or so. Everyone was everywhere, we start taking chances at restaurants and shops, group activities became a norm – many were working from home, which was meant to reduce the risk, but decided to spent those hours saved to go...

I realized when I was posting yesterday that I went missing from updating this space for more than 2 months. It dawned on me that it was indeed a hectic last 2 months of the year at work. There was so much going on and was juggling priorities by the minute. Nevertheless it was still a fulfilling last quarter of 2020 for me.  After so many years being in the takaful industry, finally my dream of introducing meaningful and inclusive takaful products came true – that was the theme for the last quarter of 2020 (+ the last week of September).Firstly,...

It’s been forever since I did a posting.

It feels like it’s been forever since I wrote anything. The truth is, life has been too hectic in the various spaces of my life, particularly involving work and Ruzain – a lot has been happening.
