Hi all,

Just wondering... am I paying too much or too low for my family's insurance coverage. Paying about RM1,250 per month for the whole family policies:
1) GEL life (bought 20 years ago), still paying... till end of my life
2) GEL life + some medical protection (bought 15 years ago), still paying... till end of my life
3) Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till end of my life
4) Prudential term (bought few months ago), still paying... till 10 years later
5) spouse's MAA life (bought 15 years ago), still paying... MAA says need to pay another 10 years... (my agent told me only need to pay 10 years, now need to pay up to 25 years  mad.gif )
6) spouse's GEL life + some medical protection (bought 14 years ago), still paying...
7) spouse's Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying...
8) daughter's GEL life + some medical protection + saving (bought 8 years ago), still paying... till she turn 18
9) daughter's Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till she turn 25
10) another daughter's Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till she turn 25

Average of RM125 per policy per month... not too bad, but the coverage not really much lah.

Feel free to advise and share your thoughts or mind to share how much are you paying...

Thanks.

Hi,

My advice as follows:
1) GEL life (bought 20 years ago), still paying... till end of my life. Only life coverage around 50k. Keep it for them to give u interest.
2) GEL life + some medical protection (bought 15 years ago), still paying... till end of my life. Medical will be out of date, should be those on reimbursement basis medical pla. Advice: do a review on this
3) Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till end of my life. No issues with this
4) Prudential term (bought few months ago), still paying... till 10 years later. Life/Death benefit shall be higher since this is a term policy. No cash values attached.
5) spouse's MAA life (bought 15 years ago), still paying... MAA says need to pay another 10 years... (my agent told me only need to pay 10 years, now need to pay up to 25 years mad.gif ). Sales tactics by agents. Agent told u critical year is 10 yrs and dont need to pay anymore. MAA told u interest generated during the last few years are not able to cover cost of insurance rclxub.gif
6) spouse's GEL life + some medical protection (bought 14 years ago), still paying... Same like yours, do a review on this as this may be out dated.
7) spouse's Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... Good and keep it, and may do some review to increase the medical coverage.
8) daughter's GEL life + some medical protection + saving (bought 8 years ago), still paying... till she turn 18. Keep it and review the medical part. Because normally child dont need much protection on death and illness
9) daughter's Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till she turn 25. Keep it and review the medical part.
10) another daughter's Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till she turn 25. As above advice

Do let me know if u need my assistance. More willing to help out. Thanks

Advice: do a review on this (Yup, those are basic medical plan, I was thinking to 'drop the med coverage' and just remain the 'life policy')
3) Prudential Investment link + med card + CI (bought 5 years ago), still paying... till end of my life. No issues with this (just top-up the medi coverage recently)
4) Prudential term (bought few months ago), still paying... till 10 years later. Life/Death benefit shall be higher since this is a term policy. No cash values attached. (a bit 'kiasu' for coming 10 years time, need to have extra $ coverage for my family with the cheap term insurance)
5) spouse's MAA life (bought 15 years ago), still paying... MAA says need to pay another 10 years... (my agent told me only need to pay 10 years, now need to pay up to 25 years  mad.gif ).

Hi no worries at all.

I think u already have an answer for yourself, looking at the way u top up. And since u have top up your medical plan, the next best thing to look at is ur Death and critical illness benefit.

As yourself this question, if yourself is diagnosed with critical illness, how much u think u need to survive say 3 to 5 yrs when u r not able to work. Has ur CI coverage up to that mark?

Death benefit, if u pass on, how much ur spouse get? For living expenses and most importantly, ur children's education fund?

This is just a rough guide. Hope it'll help out.

Thanks

Thanks again chew_ronnie.

I notice that my CI and death benefit coverage not really much, thus, I bought a 10 years term inssurance early this year and hope this help to cover a bit more before i retired (10 years later). I think the coverage only can last 3-4 years of living expenses for my family, as the children's education fund, perhaps, only can ensure them to go for local college...

Currently, I have commited to pay about RM1200+ per month, I think I need to double up the insurance premium (RM2400+), in order to have comfort coverage... but how can afford to pay more???

Life is short, enjoy every moment we have smile.gif

Dear Abulele,

If that happens whereby you provide false information intentionally and when the insurance company finds out, you will almost be certain not to be able to receive any claim.

Thanks.

A medical card + CI term should be fine with it.

General Insurance matters

On the radio msig has been giving explanations on gen insurance.
One of this is house insurance

it mentions that if a house is under insured aganist its market value,
anything happens, the insurance will be paid pro rated agnainst the
insured value.

i have a question.

i always think that insured damage to a house is always 'replacement value'.
Therefore the 'value' of a house cannoit be used for insurance calculations
as it includes the land value and foundations of the house which may not be affected by the risks of fire, say.

So how can the gen insurer use Market value when this includes land value?

What say you?

You might consider an investment-link plan which include

1)Basic Life
2)36Illnesses
3)PA
4Medical card
5)Investment (optional)

no medical check up is needed.

Ideally an ILP product to get a decent medical card, life cover together with CI benefits. The minimum starts at RM100.

ResQ,

at your budget you *should* decide whats most important and buy a decent cover from a standalone. 50 bucks per months buys you zilch with an ILP. might as well not bother to have any cover then. 600 RM p.a. however can buy you a decent medical cover and if you're not fussy about the annual limit you'll enough to add a basic PA too.

i must say that i am noob when it comes to insurance.

i do have my own insurance, but when my sister-in-law ask me about insurance for her baby, i could not think about any good insurance.

basically, what is a good insurance for a 8 month old baby? my sister in law are actually looking for education insurance, which would be beneficial for her baby when she starts her tertiary education.

Well for kids/baby we should get them a decent medical insurance because they are young & fragile
to illnesses/accident . . . life insurance are not that important at the moment
The balance of premium/money could go to investment or savings for the child education purpose
depending to the budget of your sis-in-law as well icon_rolleyes.gif

you might consider getting a 36crictical Illnesses plan . . .
It covors even when you are working in SG. In case anything happens as least the money could
covor your medical expenses & also maintaining your current lifestyle.
A sum of between RM100k - RM200k should be good for a start.
