Car Insurance Plan: Pay-how-you-drive (PHYD)

This is an example of how I write for an insurance blog—combining explanation with storytelling. Using relatable examples helps readers understand concepts more quickly.



**********

Usage-based insurance is a revolutionary form of auto insurance that considers your unique driving style when calculating your premium. Rather than solely factoring in traditional factors like age and driving record, this method employs cutting-edge technology, such as devices or smartphone apps, to gather data on your actual driving behaviour. 

By monitoring variables like distance travelled, speed, braking patterns, and time of day on the road, insurance companies are able to provide personalised premiums. Not only does this benefit drivers' wallets, but it also encourages the practice of responsible driving habits.


Picture this scenario

Meet Sarah, a digital nomad who's not your typical road motorist. Working remotely and living in the heart of the city, Sarah's car mostly enjoys the view from her parking spot. Her daily commute involves a short walk to the local coffee shop or a quick ride-share when the weather is less forgiving.

Sarah's car is her occasional companion, reserved for weekend getaways or the rare grocery run. Intrigued by the idea of paying for car insurance that aligns with her actual usage, Sarah discovers Pay-how-you-drive(PHYD) Plan 1 

Choosing PHYD Plan 1 – Less than 5,000km, Sarah enjoys a fantastic 40% savings on her car insurance premium. As she signs up for this #PHYD plan, she feels the weight lifted off her budget, knowing she's not paying for miles she doesn't drive.

Months pass, and Sarah's odometer stays well below the 5,000km mark. She's not only relishing in the flexibility of her remote work life but also in the savings reflected in her #PHYD premium. Even on the occasional road trip, she drives with the peace of mind that her coverage remains intact, unaffected by surpassing the mileage limit.

Sarah's story with #PHYD Plan 1 showcases how usage-based insurance can be a perfect fit for those whose cars spend more time parked than in motion. It's a budget-friendly solution tailored for the low-mileage driver, where every kilometre driven feels like a step towards more savings and financial peace of mind.

Finally, a car insurance policy that aligns with her actual usage!

The Role of Writing in Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Empathy

As we go through life and deal with all sorts of emotions, writing can be a really helpful way to pause and reflect. Putting things down on paper helps us make sense of how we’re feeling. That’s why in psychology, they always advise to engage in regular journaling or reflective writing, as it can help us process emotions, gain clarity, and develop a greater understanding of our thoughts and behaviours and invites individuals to explore their feelings without judgment. Journaling can serve as a personal outlet, allowing someone to vent about a tough day and process their emotions. Writing is more than just a way to express thoughts or share ideas. Whether it’s journaling, blogging, or even crafting a social media post, writing allows us to connect with ourselves and others on a deeper level. Writing is a great way to understand and manage on our feelings and share them, making it easier for us to express ourselves and connect with others.

Decathlon giving back to community

 I recently attended a free Zumba class at the Decathlon PJ branch, which is part of their regular weekly activities that include Zumba, yoga, and more. These activities are often offered at a minimal fee, with occasional free classes for the community, perhaps once a month. The atmosphere was lively, with families playing ping pong and children riding small bikes within the venue, adding to the sense of community. This initiative by Decathlon is a fantastic example of how a business can give back to local residents while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. I haven’t seen other sports retailers in Malaysia adopt a similar approach. While Decathlon remains a business, they’ve successfully integrated CSR activities by fostering a sports culture through the free or affordable use of their facilities, like badminton, basketball, and futsal courts in selected branches, including those in Selangor, Johor Bahru, and Penang. Classes like Zumba, Pound, and Yoga/Pilates are also availa...

Can Non-Office Workers Burn Out Too?

 When we hear the word burnout, most of us picture someone in a corporate job, stuck in traffic every morning, glued to a screen all day, drowning in emails, meetings and work desk from 9 to 5. Sounds familiar, right? But here’s the thing. Burnout doesn’t care whether you’re in a fancy office or out in the field. In fact, people who don’t work in traditional office settings often face a different kind of pressure such as physical strain, unpredictable hours, emotional labour, or unstable income, and that can burn you out just as fast, if not faster. So let’s talk about other fields of work burnout, the kind that hits NGO field workers, delivery riders, retail staff, event crews, and freelancers. Because their stories relatable too. 1. NGO Field Officer  Lina has been working with a local humanitarian NGO for the past three years. Her role mainly involves community outreach in rural and underserved areas, Orang Asli villages, flood-affected zones, and low-income flats around Kl...
