Usaha bersepadu di peringkat industri juga perlu dalam pembangunan sumber insan dan dalam merangka pendekatan yang lebih berkesan untuk memasuki pasaran global. Semangat "takaful", iaitu saling bantu-membantu, perlu diperkukuhkan untuk menjadi teras kepada usaha kita membangunkan Malaysia sebagai pusat kewangan Islam antarabangsa yang unggul. It is indeed a pleasure to be here today to commemorate the official launch of "Commerce Takaful Berhad". It was almost a year ago, in April 2005, that we witnessed the emergence of its related company - "Commerce Tijari Bank Berhad". Commerce Tijari has since developed into a new, emerging provider of Islamic banking and financial solutions that successfully leveraged on its strong group structure, thereby contributing towards spurring the growth of the Islamic financial services industry in the country. Alhamdulillah, today, the setting up of Commerce Takaful Berhad is another significant milestone reflecting the Group's strong commitment towards providing a complete range of Shariah-compliant financial solutions, covering Islamic banking and takaful and the capital market, that is competitive, comprehensive and tailor-made to meet the demands of the consumers. For the takaful industry in Malaysia, the emergence of Commerce Takaful Berhad in the Islamic financial landscape is indeed timely. This is particularly so in our efforts to further strengthen the institutional infrastructure of our takaful industry by increasing the diversity and strength of players in the Islamic financial system. These players will be the driving force, accelerating the expansion of takaful business, not only in Malaysia but regionally as well as globally.
On this note, it is my pleasure to congratulate the Commerce Group on the official launch of Commerce Takaful Berhad. Significant potential exists for Commerce Takaful Berhad to achieve a quantum leap by leveraging on the integrated financial services and extensive operating infrastructure of the Commerce Group. I wish the Board of Director and the management of Commerce Takaful Berhad every success in this endeavour and I look forward to its contribution towards further development of the Islamic financial services industry in Malaysia. Dengan lafaz Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, "Commerce Takaful Berhad". saya  dengan  sukacitanya  merasmikan  pelancaran  Terima kasih. BIS Review 31/2006  3
