They always do their utmost to live by our promise, overcoming all obstacles, especially in instances such as On The Spot Claim settlements, which is considered a world’s first. I wish to dedicate this recognition to our valued customers, our staff and my fellow directors for enabling us to reach another milestone in our dynamic journey.”
