1. Do a comparison between the country you are in PR with for the life/CI and decide whether you need to cancel your Malaysian class policy. Some countries, you can buy high life/CI cover cheaper than Malaysia. Seems like the mortality rate for Malaysia is high.
2. As I understand it Malaysia does not allow dual citizenship. If you surrender your Malaysian citizenship you might as well cash out your policy and buy the insurance in that PR country.
Moreso if the PR country is an A list country since the medical will be very costly.
For a Malaysian class policy medical card, if you travel outside of Malaysia (except for Sg and Brunei) for more than 90 days, you need to fly back to Malaysia to get treated. If it was below the 90 days, you will be reimbursed with a customary rate as charged by the Malaysian hospital.
For example if the heart bypass were to cost USD 100k in the US, you will only be reimbursed with Rm80k (subjected to your annual limit, if any), which is the averagely charged amount in most hospitals in Malaysia.
Lets not forget that the premium that you pay is in RM, and it is only fair that ypu are reimbursed in RM.
thanks! and replying ur comments above:
1. my intention is to save some money on the existing policy, if i surrender the policy it is not worth as the cash value not much compare to what i have contributed.
2. i did call up insurance customer care, they mentioned if can prove you were existing malaysian, then should be fine to claim/surrender/cash-out. is that true?
