Abstract

The funeral expense is becoming expensive. It will lead into funeral poverty whereby the next of kin of the deceased face a difficulty to pay funeral expenses. The funeral poverty already affected developed countries such as Indonesia and African countries. For Malaysia, few schemes have been established by society to cover the poor from having difficulties for funeral expenses. The underlying reason behind the practice is a strong culture and belief. Nevertheless, these organizations have a different approach in managing this scheme but create chaos in the society from the perspective of payment and coverage. This paper will review literature, segmenting the practices and suggest the probable solution for funeral expenses scheme with the kind of exploring a segment in Takaful and micro-Takaful.

Abstract

This paper investigates the factors influencing Malaysian consumer intention toward takaful scheme for mental health disorders. An applied expanded Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model were used in the research and the variables of awareness, perception, attitude, subjective norm and intention toward a takaful scheme for mental health disorders were investigated. It is a pilot research carried out in Malaysia. The respondents are 60 Malaysian takaful consumers based on an online survey inside Klang Valley, Malaysia. This study reveals that the mean of attitude with the score of 4.27 is the highest score. The Pearson correlation is positive for both independent and dependent variables. Analysis of regression indicates a strong positive relationship between subjective norm and intention, thus suggesting that subjective norm is an important area to link to intention against mental health disorder takaful scheme. This is also proposed that future studies will concentrate on the factors that affect the willingness of consumers towards takaful mental health disorder schemes. It is hoped that the results of this study will serve as an informative reference for further development of takaful scheme for mental health disorder.
