如果你有天下班回家，发现家中因为楼上爆水管而淹水，天花板又承受不了水压而崩塌，家具电器也全部泡水和报废，当下的你作何感想？ Zurich General Insurance Malaysia Bhd 总承保长 Hazruddin Hassan就有类似的经验。他表示，这类事故不常发生，但随着房子开始老旧，就有可能遭遇这种情况。 他说：“当时的维修费大概为RM35,000，但幸好我很早就为房屋投保，因此获得全额赔偿” 他认为，大马拥有地理优势，不必蒙受许多天灾的影响，但这也导致人们普遍认为灾难不会降临，因此不太重视房屋保险。 Hazruddin补充：“灾难不会每天发生，但如果不幸遇上，那必定会是个痛苦的经历。如果你有对房屋进行适度的投保，至少可以减轻财务的负担。” Zurich General Insurance Malaysia 资深副总裁兼市场管理主管Junior Cho指出，房屋保险虽然不能全数赔偿事主的损失，但至少可以帮忙重建家园。 “在大马，大部分人都明白房屋保险的重要性，但很少人会主动购买或者定期更新。大部分的投保者是因为贷款银行要求，才为房屋投保，主动要求房屋价值评估以及投保的人少之又少，不到10%。” Hazruddin表示，Zurich Malaysia去年的房屋保险索赔资料显示，五大索赔原因是雷电破坏、风灾、火灾、水灾以及爆水管。这些原因所造成的赔偿案件，占房屋保险总数的80%以上。 目前，市面上的房屋保险包括房屋拥户（Homeowner Insurance）、火险（Fire Insurance）以及住户保险（Householder Insurance）。 Cho表示，虽然共管机构（JMB）或管理委员会（MC）一般会为公寓或是住宅社区的共用设施投保，但灾难发生时，保险公司只会赔偿共用设施或空间重建费用，个别住户的损失则不在承保范围内，所以屋主或是住户最好还是自行投保。 保险类型 承保范围 火险 火灾 飞机失事 地震或火山爆发 暴风雨 水灾 爆炸案 爆水管或水库破裂 暴动 树枝断裂破坏 土石流 房屋拥户保险 火灾与雷电 爆炸案 飞机失事 汽车撞击或野兽攻击 爆窃案 风灾 地震与火山爆发 水灾（不包括因水灾引起的土崩） 住户保险 原文已于2018年5月25日的EdgeProp.
