Seriously considering the AIA option. Any thoughts?
Personally, I think it was a good choice to reduce the R&B of RM400/day to slightly reduce your premium.
Panel hospitals, you definitely dont have to worry for both of these huge brands.
If all benefits looks good, the last place to look at is what’s behind – T&C.
