I would like to ask for an opinion here, why not go for insurance companies retirement plans?

For example, GE's Great Retirement Plan? It is a guaranteed return fund and would also get the tax relief of rm3k?

GE not part of PRS provider.

Not mistaken only AIA & MANUFLIFE from Insurance.

Yeah, that's right. Just thought that the 3k income tax relief would make GE's plan worthwhile too. But it's a 10-15 years guaranteed returned plan though?

My reasons:

I) Suckish IRR compare to PRS
II) Too many complicated charges here and there i.e., not straight-forward.
III) It is an annuity plan, macam pension... every month take the same amount until mati. No fun, no syiok. Boring aje. Inflation potong stim somemore.
IV) I want to see money, lots of it... many zeros. I want to go Batam, Golok & Haadyai every month after I retire.

The above are my reasons. Others may have different views.

Oh thanks for the your opinion! Much appreciate it. How bout going for those savings plan - for those who dont have a tendency to save money nor investing in stock market, UT, etc but just for the sake of allocating money every month. PRS would have more pros?
