OBJECTIVE
 To introduce the new policy of
insurance for international students
 To make sure the international
students understand the terms of
their insurance plan and benefit of
policyholders
WHY YOU NEED
INSURANCE?
MALAYSIAN IMMIGRATION
POLICIES
Students are required to take up medical
insurance to protect and insure their stay in
Malaysia.
To apply for a new or extension of student
pass, students are required to submit a copy
of their insurance certificate.
WHY YOU NEED
INSURANCE?
MOE POLICIES
A legal requirement under the MOE Code of
Practice for the Pastoral Care of International
Students.
All full time international students are required
to purchase insurance policy from the
insurance provider nominated by the
University.
Eligibility for health services.
WHY YOU NEED
INSURANCE?
MOE POLICIES
Minimum insurance premium must be at least
RM300 per year.
Insurance policy must include:
 Personal Accident & Death;
 In-patient Services;
 Repartition; and
 Out-patient Services
WHY UM INTRODUCE
NEW INSURANCE POLICIES?
Decision was made during a meeting with all
public university in KL and Selangor (IIUM, UPM,
UKM, UTM & UiTM) together with MOE on 18
June 2014.
Choosing the best practice on managing the
insurance matter follow the privatizing concept
use by other universities.
WHY INSURANCE IS COMPULSORY?
 Insurance offered are a GROUP insurance coverage which
covered 3000 students per year. If student allowed to have
their own insurance coverage, UM will not get the 3000
students for that GROUP insurance coverage and the
policies cannot be implemented.
 Effective from 1st April 2015, MOE will establish Education
Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) as the one-stop centre to
process the student pass of all international students
studying in public institutions in Malaysia. EMGS will use a
new system known as Student Application Registration
System (STARS) to process all visa matters. Under the
system, only ONE insurance provider can be appointed.
