Today, 31 March 2025 was a public holiday in observance of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

No official training or meetings were held.

Today, 1 April 2025 was a public holiday in observance of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

No official training or meetings were held.

The session emphasized that we should guide clients using value-based conversations, not just product-focused pitches. Key formulas shared included: Critical Illness (CI) = 5 × annual income, Life Insurance = 10 × annual income, and Savings = based on reviewing retirement needs and personal financial goals. This framework helps us recommend more comprehensive protection by aligning insurance planning with each client’s long-term vision.

We also explored the pros and cons of deductibles which a fixed RM300 fee often preferred for its clarity and co-insurance, where the insured pays 10% of treatment costs. While co-insurance may seem reasonable, it often includes a minimum co-pay, which can result in higher costs for smaller bills (e.g., RM2,000 bill still requires RM300 payment). This system can be less transparent and harder to explain to clients.

After the session, I continued working on policy reviews, using the knowledge gained to better analyze and explain plan structures to clients.

After the session, I continued with policy review and restructuring, working closely with my coach to analyze a client’s current plan. We identified potential gaps and explored ways to enhance the coverage while keeping it aligned with the client’s financial goals.

I also discussed the possibility of changing my internship placement with my coach. We had an open conversation about the reasons behind the request and how it aligns with my long-term learning goals. To support the process, I submitted all the relevant documents needed for the approval, including justification and any required forms.

In contrast, MLTA covers death, disability, and critical illness, includes cash value savings, and allows you to name any beneficiary. It is more cost-effective, transferable, and the cash value can be used for purposes like a second home down payment, early loan settlement, or as reserve savings.

MLTA is suitable for those who already own a home, plan to buy one soon, or are preparing to purchase within five years. We were also reminded that banks can only sell MRTA due to licensing restrictions, while MLTA must be purchased through licensed financial or insurance advisors. If someone already has MRTA, it cannot be replaced by MLTA, but MLTA can be added to supplement coverage.

Although my internship in this company is ending, they assured me that I’m still part of the team as a part-timer, and I’m welcome to reach out anytime for support or guidance. They also mentioned that if I have any questions regarding insurance policies or client-related matters, I can still approach my coach for assistance. Their continued support has given me a strong sense of encouragement and motivation to keep learning and improving in this field.

After the session, my assigned YYC Buddy guided me through the daily tools and systems used in our routine work, which made me feel more prepared and confident to start. She also introduced me to my Assistant Manager, Mr. Beh, who welcomed me warmly and briefly outlined the team structure.

In the afternoon, I had the opportunity to work on a real company case for tax computation under the supervision of Jia Wen, a senior in the tax team. She explained each step clearly and provided guidance throughout the task, helping me better understand how tax computations are done in practice.

Later, my YYC Buddy asked me to call the LHDN officer to check the status of a penalty letter. This was to determine whether we should proceed with Borang Q or send an appeal letter, giving me insight into how tax firms communicate with government agencies.

I also helped correct wording in the Chinese version of a client’s tax computation file. This task helped me improve my attention to detail and gain experience handling bilingual documents. Overall, it was a productive day with hands-on learning and exposure to real client work.

I also prepared Form M for a client using the provided template and checked for any missing documents or information. Additionally, I assisted in preparing a Tax Computation for a company that remains active but has not received any revenue (non-trading with domain maintenance). These tasks helped strengthen my understanding of tax processes and communication with authorities.

Later, my team’s assistant manager tasked me with verifying all tax payments and issued invoices by cross-checking them using various software tools. I consulted a nearby senior for clarification on identifying tax payments using Outlook. I also assisted my buddy in preparing tax queries for her client to help resolve uncertainties clearly and accurately.

Additionally, I was instructed to amend an earlier tax computation following a review by the assistant manager, and I proceeded to prepare the second draft for resubmission.

During the program, we played several team games to build strong bonds among interns from different branches, such as HQ Pudu and COE Sunway Tower. Our team, Team Korea, participated in a role-play competition and won and earning some cool prizes!

We also had a sharing session where everyone talked about their experiences, knowledge, and first impressions of YYC. It was interesting to hear different perspectives from interns across various locations.

Next, I assisted in amending the same company’s Tax Computation, updating figures and correcting points based on the review feedback. This task gave me more hands-on experience in refining tax documents and understanding the review process better.

The other two: Tumpuan and Sure Reach are classified as Investment Holding Companies, which required a slightly different approach. Their tax treatments and allowable deductions differ from regular dormant companies, so I had to be more careful in handling their expenses.

By the end of the day, I completed 50% of Tumpuan’s computation, while Sure Reach has yet to be started.

Additionally, I assisted another senior in amending his client's tax computation. He guided me step by step and explained some basic taxation concepts along the way, which helped me gain a clearer understanding of tax principles and procedures.

Later, another senior assigned me a new task and guided me via Microsoft Teams. He also took the time to explain some basic taxation concepts, including Section 33(1) of the Income Tax Act, which deepened my understanding of allowable deductions.

Later, my buddy asked me to prepare a summary document showing clients’ tax payable and refundable amounts to track their current tax positions. I was also assigned to amend tax computations for two companies based on clients’ replies to previous tax queries. I made the necessary adjustments accordingly.

Later, I supported document arrangements for a tax clearance case, highlighting the importance of neat file management and compliance timing.

Overall, it was a structured day with a blend of teamwork, technical drafting, and administrative learning.

Aside from technical work, much of the week centered on exit formalities. I completed the YYC exit form, submitted my UUM performance evaluation, and returned company property such as my name tag. Clearing my workspace was a quiet but symbolic moment an opportunity to appreciate how much I’ve grown in both skill and mindset over the past months.

A key part of this week was also a conversation with my manager and HR regarding future plans. We discussed the potential of converting to a permanent role within YYC and explored the possibility of rotating into other departments. I took this opportunity to express my long-term interest in the M&A department, which aligns closely with my passion for strategic finance and business growth. Their openness and encouragement made me feel hopeful about future opportunities within the firm.

I also had the chance to personally thank several team members who had guided me along the way. Their support from answering small questions to involving me in real tasks played a huge role in shaping my experience.
