Hi people, i'm just a recent fresh grad who just entered the job market. I have been browsing through quite a lot of insurance threads but it seems quite hard to really gather the information that I need with the wide range of insurance products out there, so I hope some sifus here can help to enligthen me!

As a person who just entered the market, what are the insurance that I need? Assuming that I have a medical card from my current company that has no limit, does that mean I just need a simple life + TPD insurance? Is it worth it to get insurance with investment/savings-linked plan or just solely a simple insurance without those benefits? What are the best insurance products out there at the market now especially for a fresh grad with low salary to begin with?

Investment linked insurance will suit a fresh grad better, reason is that you can have high protection with a lower premium (rm150 monthly can net you medical card, life/tpd, multiple claim insurance, hospitalization income etc). When your income is stable/increased, you can further customize the investment linked insurance to your liking, increase the sum assure/add more riders/increase the investment portion of greater savings etc. For PA (personal accident) you can look for it at the general insurance side, a lot cheaper with some extra benefit, ie rm214 annually for 100k that also include snatch theft, kidnaped recovery reward, personal liability etc.

Also you can utilize the tax reduction from the insurance as well, potentially can be the greatest investment return if you utilize it wisely.

Lastly would like to highlight one of the company medical card issue, if you retired or switch job, you will lose the protection, if you have made some medical claims before, you chances of getting a medical card would be subjected to the mercy of the underwriter.
