Sir Richard Branson visits Kuala Lumpur

Sir Richard Branson, a British industrialist, best known for his Virgin Group of over 360 companies, was in town to deliver a talk at the “Dawn of The New Decade: Alternative Investments in Asia" conference.

He commented that Malaysia has a good reputation overseas but there are several issues which the country needs to tackle to attract investors. He also shared about his space travel program and that it is no longer a fantasy as tourists would soon be able to travel to the moon on a day trip and stay in a space hotel.

According to him, the space-travel fare would start from US$200,000 (RM600,000). Virgin Galatic, under the stable of Branson’s Virgin group, is the world’s first commercial company that promotes space tourism and they are 18 months away from taking people into space.

Virgin Galatic had collected some US$45mil (RM135mil) in deposits from more than 330 people who had reserved seats aboard the six-seater spaceship. When this travel program comes into existence, we'd be talking about space insurance instead of auto insurance. So, are you set for space travel? Would you go on this trip if you have the chance?

Get insured for that peace of mind

In my previous post, we talked about life insurance and the importance of getting a life insurance. There are other insurance products that we'll need. Take for instance, travel insurance. Imagine if you were travelling and an accident happened to you and if you were not covered by insurance, you would have to pay the costs yourself. Travel insurance would have taken care of them for you. I know, most people would assume that nothing would happen but why take that chance? Get travel insurance. You would be travelling with more peace of mind.

What about dental insurance? Have you got one yet? Dental treatments can come up to quite a substantial amount so it would be a good savings tool to get dental insurance.

Yet another insurance product is business insurance. Never thought of insuring your business? Check up Florida Business Insurance or Massachussetts Business Insurance if you are in either of these areas.

Get the required insurance. You will have more peace of mind, believe me.
