If you have dependants, you need to get yourself covered because when you die (reality
check: you’re not immortal), your dependants need money to continue living.
Even if you don’t have dependants, you can register for a policy that gives your parents say
RM100,000 when you die.
Insurance and Takaful are considered a form of emergency fund. That’s why it’s also called

Type of fire extinguisher
WATER
Water fire extinguishers have a red label and a class A rating. They are suitable for fighting fires
involving solid combustibles such as wood, paper and textiles.
A few models are safe on electrical equipment if di-electrically tested. Otherwise, care must be
taken near electrical equipment.
AFFF FOAM
AFFF foam fire extinguishers have a cream label and are highly effective on class A and class B fires
(the foam agent helps to prevent re-ignition).
If foam extinguishers have been dielectrically tested they can be used on electrical appliances
CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)
CO2 fire extinguishers have a black label. They were originally designed for use on flammable liquid
fires and therefore have a class B fire rating.
They can be used on electrical fires, as CO2 is not a conductor and they do not leave behind any
harmful residue.
ABC POWDER
ABC powder fire extinguishers have a blue label. They are versatile and can be used on class A, class
B, class C and electrical fires.
They are available in a range of sizes from 1 - 9kg and are ideal for application in environments
containing mixed fire risks. However, there is a risk of inhalation when using powder extinguishers
indoors. Powder fire extinguishers are therefore not recommended for use within small rooms,
homes and offices. Limited to engine rooms and outdoors machinery.
The benefit of fire extinguisher
keeping Fires Under Control
Two European studies conducted in 2002 reviewed over 4,500 fire incidents and found fire
extinguishers can be extremely effective in stopping flames before they grow out of control. Both
studies found fire extinguishers were able to stop the fire in over 80% of recorded incidents, while
also noting many others that are extinguished in this manner are never reported to the fire
department in the first place.
Saving Lives
When the effectiveness of fire extinguishers is put in context of overall fire statistics, it becomes
clear how much of a difference these tools can make. According to the NFPA, there were 15,700
injuries and 3,280 deaths as a result of property fires in the United States in 2015.
Protecting the Environment
Uncontrolled fires can also have a harmful effect on the environment by releasing carbon and other
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By extinguishing the blaze early on, fire extinguishers help
minimize the spread of pollutants while also saving the water firefighters would otherwise use to
extinguish the blaze.
When operating a fire extinguisher, tell residents to remember the word PASS:
1. Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you and release the
locking mechanism.
2. Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
3. Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
4. Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side.
