Kuala Lumpur, 21 July 2020 – AIA Malaysia celebrates the historic achievement of being named the number one Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) company in Malaysia for the fifth consecutive year. With a total of 643 MDRT qualifiers, it is also the only Malaysian company to break into the world’s Top 20 list of companies which have the most number of MDRT members in the world.
This double celebration is an extension of AIA Group’s excellence in being named the number one MDRT company in the world. With a record total of 12,796 agents and agency leaders registered as MDRT members as of 1 July 2020, it has made history by being the only multinational company in the world to achieve the largest number of MDRT members for six consecutive years.
MDRT is a global and independent association that is internationally recognised as the standard of excellence in life insurance and financial services. Its members are required to generate a certain level of premium, commission and income, in addition to demonstrating professional knowledge, strict ethical conduct and outstanding client service.
Ben Ng, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Bhd. said: “This achievement is a testament of our Life Planners’ commitment and dedication to serve our customers. Our position as number one in Malaysia and number 20 in the world for MDRT qualifiers reflects the quality and professionalism that is embodied by our 14,000-strong agency force. I am extremely proud that one out of three MDRTs in Malaysia belong to us. This recognition will serve as further motivation in our continuous quest to help Malaysians live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”
