1. This offer is ok. For 1m the best offer is 4.35-4.4%
2. Whether or not you need to take MRTA/MLTA depends entirely on your objective. If you ask an insurance agent obviously he would prefer that you take MLTA due to the opportunity to offer you, a prospect, a product of his own. For example, UOB cannot finance MRTA offered by AIA (I believe Great Eastern is their insurance provider), so an AIA agent would recommend that you opt for MLTA.
MRTA has its purposes, depending on your needs, it can be cheaper to opt for this. Remember, this is a 35-year long contract that you are signing, only you know what's best for yourself. An insurance agent (which I incidentally am as well, to be transparent about this) would decide what is best for him (his commissions). It is not wrong to entice people/prospects to prop up the sales numbers, but it is best to furnish the recommendations with proper arguments.
Thanks for the explanation.
Bro, just additional question, mine is a semi flexi account. And right now, assuming i accept it and sign the snp, i will only be charged interest only until construction completes.
So during this period, say my interest is 1k. Can i pay more than 1k to reduce the principle? Or this method only applies when the construction completed?
