LC: Selama awak bekerja di Takaful, berapa ramai orang melayu yg cakap tiada duit mahu ambil takaful?
PT: Boleh tahan juga ramainya. Bila diajak menyertai Takaful, masing2 mengatakan tiada duit. Hendak digunakan membeli kelengkapan perayaan, kelengkapan sekolah, minggu hadapan sahaja lah... dan akhirnya cancel.
LC: Orang Melayu sebenarnya baik, cerdik and they have a lot of money, but many of them, they sooo stupid! I don't want to insult you, but that the truth.
PT: Terkejut & rasa nak marah pun ada.
LC: I'm sorry sebab I cakap mcm tu, but when you see lot of Chinese shop yg menjual handphone, casing handphone, benda2 bodoh mcm spongebob, dragonball that they put at their phone is useless.
LC: But the buyer is Malay also they were Muslim. I thought they have a lot of money instead bought that useless thing. But when it come to saving for future, education they keep saying - just borrow. I thought that Islam thought you to settle your debt sebelum mati kan?
PT: Terdiam.
LC: Dulu I pernah juga menjadi insurans ejen, but not too long sebab after my father meninggal dunia, I jaga bisnesnya. Tetapi yang bagusnya, apabila meninggal dunia, insurans diberikan pada kami sekeluarga RM500,000 for the coverage. You ingat kita boleh buka bisnes kalau tiada duit? Duit coverage inilah buat modal utk buka bisnes dan juga utk byr hutang... You kira bagus sebab melakukan perkerjaan ini, my Ustaz tell me that doing Takaful also part of dakwah. You do Takaful halal, Insurans haram.
