The monsoon transition phase is expected to begin on September 24, tomorrow, and it is expected to last until early November, the meteorological department of Malaysia has announced.
Members of the public are advised to remain vigilant for changes in weather and stay updated with weather forecasts and warnings published by the department through its official website and official social media channels, as well as through the myCuaca mobile application, or contact 1-300-22-1638 for further information.
The meteorological department of Malaysia said in its statement that the western and interior regions of Peninsular Malaysia, as well as western Sabah and central Sarawak could experience winds from various directions, which could lead to thunderstorms.
Ahead of the change in weather pattern, a landslide has occurred in Brinchang in Cameron Highlands which resulted in damage to a vehicle due to a fallen pole, reported The Star.
Increased rainfall due to the monsoon transition phase could lead to flooding, which brings into view the importance of having special perils coverage added to a vehicle insurance policy.
Coverage by the special perils add-on to one’s regular vehicle insurance policy brings added cover for natural disasters and acts of God, including for incidents such as fallen trees like this. We have tabled the costs of adding special perils coverage from various auto insurance providers in Malaysia, and these rates range from 0.15% to 0.20%, depending on company.
For a vehicle insured for a value of RM50,000, it can be as little as RM75, ranging up to RM240 at the higher end of the scale.

If this picture of flooded cars dont influence u to add special peril motor coverage…u must be the “everything is fated” type of dude.
So,when your brand new X70 is a total write off and u r not covered with special peril insurance..u r stuck with a huge hp loan over your head and may not qualify for even a myvi loan if u default a few monthly x70 instalments.
