2.0) Type of dealing with risk

2.1) risk retention
Risk retentions are defined as there is an availability of fund to replace if the event of loss happened to a person. (Risk Management Book by Emmett J. Vaughan)

The risk also can be retained in 2 conditions.

a) Intentional
Its mean that the risk is retained even when the person is aware of the undesired possible outcome.

As an example, if the person knows that he is facing a risk when ever they drive without wearing a seat belt while driving. If there is a case of accident, the person itself actually had already aware of the entire possible outcome that may arise from it. So his is risk retention by the person intentionally.



b) Unintentional

Its mean that the risk is retained without the person aware of the possibility that the desire outcome may happened.

For an example, a person who is using machinery without knowing that there may be a possibility of the outcome from the product is not as what he or she wants it to be. They actually retain the risk by them self without intentions of the undesired outcome that arise.




2.2) Risk transfer

Risk transfer is define as a risk that been transfer from one party to another party who is willing to bear the consequences.

In transferring the risk to another party, person will have to follow a certain rules that been stated by the transferred party and pay a certain amount of premium.

There are few types of insurance that commonly been offer to a person such as:

It is because if something happened for the person who bought the life insurance, the third party such as family, wife or son and daughter may claim compensation money in order to continue their life with the money the got from the insurance company. This is also important in case of
The person is the key person in family or even in a company. This is important in a family which there is only one who is the source for living.

2.2.3) Property and liability insurance

This is another type of insurance that a person must transfer since we could not bear or retain the possible risk or losses to our self. For an example are the damages from the human perils and by the legal factors.

This is few insurance agencies in MALAYSIA:
