have 4 siblings all provided for themselves. mom and dad also support themselves.

any idea roughly how much premium should i be getting?

GE quoted me 3k annually (1.2m medical coverage), is it over insured?
*
Hello Melvin, for a premium of Rm3,000,
Generally I recommend you Rm150k Life
Rm150k 36 CI
Rm100k PA
Medical RM210/room
Annual limit Rm125k
Lifetime limit - unlimited
Outpatient Kidney Dialysis Rm150k
Outpatient Cancer Treatment Rm200k


INCLUDED RIDERS
Waiver of premium upon diagnosed of 36 CI
Daily Hospitalized income- Rm100
Weekly PA income- Rm100

This is a ILP (investment-linked product) you will have surrender value returns after few years, this plan is projected to last for 30 years then it may have insufficient value therefore require to top up by then.

I'm comparing an Allianz plan with Great Eastern..investment linked... On the surface Allianz looks more value for the money.

However , the GE agent brought my attention to the "cash value" whereby GE plan is way superior in terms of cash value 30 years later compared to Allianz (about 30k more)

My question is, can and should cash value be taken into consideration when purchasing a plan? As Allianz agent told me it's not guaranteed and company just simply project . Or do they project on some sort of fundamental basis?

Thanks

It's projected on the funds invested by the individual insurance company (mostly is local funds) based on 2 scenarios, A & B, A is 2% per year while B is 8-9% per year.
If the premium is low for Allianz, the cash value will be low, if the premium is high for GE, therefore the cash value will be 30k more..
should cash value be taken into consideration when purchasing a plan? It depends on individual, some see it as a method of saving money for retirement or old age. Most important is to take care of your protection first meaning "have sufficient coverage" best to have your premium based on 10-15% from your monthly salary/income.

I recently surrendered a GE policy and was required to get nominee's consent for application for full surrender. Nominee had to sign a consent form before I could surrender the policy. Why do I need to get the nominee's consent to surrender my policy?
Any insurance agents here can enlighten me on this matter?
*
It is part of the process for surrendering a policy to ensure there is a common understanding between the applicant/insured and nominee.

If your existing plan allows you to add additional 100k than go ahead, if no, just start a new policy.

Hi Guys,

I'm 31 and finally I decided to get a medical card/ insurance.

My medical condition as of today:

1. Ankle ligament torn (due to sports). Happened last year.
- 1st doc suggested surgery. I consulted 2 more doctors in another hospital. 2nd and 3rd doc said I can carry on without surgery as long it doesn't stop me from my daily activities. So after 2 months of rehab session I ruled out surgery and I feel normal.

2. Fatty liver (health screening report September 2015).

Are the above serious medical issues for the insurer? I don't want to hide my medical history because I know few years down the road it may cause me problem when if something related to the above strikes.
What I need?

Any medical insurance/ card that offers coverage without extra loading/ exclusion for the abovementioned condition. Are there any?

I welcome feedback from agents who have handled the above condition and I'm willing to buy from you. I have met a few agents before. They are unsure whether the above case can go without extra loading/ exclusion.

So please shed your opinion if you have come across similar case. Presumptions/ speculations will not help me.

Otherwise what I have in mind is apply to a few companies simultaneously (of course declare the history). Select the one which offers me without extra loading/ exclusion and cancel the other policies within the 15 days cooling period.
Is this a practical way forward?
*
Great to see your sincerity in disclosing your current health condition. Before we can affirm you the underwriting decision, Pls answer the following questions:

1. We need doctor report to confirm you have fully recover from your ankle injury.

2. Show us how serious of your fatty liver level, provide us the 2015 screen test result overall.

3. What is your height (cm) and weight (kg)?

4. What is your occupation?

5. Any other hospitalization before or illness or injury beside above mentioned?

6. Any hospitalization before or any illnesses or injury beside the above mentioned illnesses?

My parent bought me a Whole Life, with Sum Assured (death benefit) of RM 50k. Been consistently paying the premium RM 550 per year for more than 25years. Recently I received the statement and calculating the yield of this plan. Assuming I survive to until policy year 60, the plan only give back cash value of RM116k. At this moment, the cash value is slightly above to my total premium paid.
Seek for your advice:
- Is it Whole Life plan in the market, features are high death benefit, low premium, low cash value?
- I am paying this plan for my next generation?
- Worth keeping this plan? Or I should look for another endowment / saving plan?

If you want to have a plan for your next gen, you can start a savings plan now.

If company already provides the medical card for my kids, do i need to buy medical card for them?
*
I would rekon yes, insurance provided by your employer are just temporary, if you are no longer employed there you and your kids will lose the coverage, furthurmore the coverage generally coverage won't exceed RM100k annually. Even if your next employer will provide the same medical benefit extended to your kids, it is subjected to the current health condition of your kids, if there are any pre-existing illnesses, it will be subject to exclusion. All in all, medical insurance provided by employers is best to treat it as an extra benefit or good will from the company and not to be taken as a comprehensive one.

After careful deliberation and analysis between my current Prudential plan vs AIA, Allianz and Great Eastern, ive decided to just upgrade my current Prudential plan (RM670) to RM770.

I think it terms of benefits and coverage, most of the big providers are quite similar. But Prudential and AIA do stand out from the rest. Second tier would be Great Eastern, Allianz, etc.

I also realised that I do not need to future proof my insurance policy now. Because the industry is so competitive, the big insurance providers are always providing better coverage and terms for very competitive prices. I will make it a point to review my policy every 2 years so as to ensure im getting my money's worth.

I thank all the agents and forumers here who provided their valuable input either on this thread or thru PM's. Much appreciated.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi all, dont know whether can ask about takaful here

1.would like to get quotations (takaful, not conventional) for
   A) my 3 month old daughter. Budget 150 for ILP or 90 for standalone
   B) my wife, 29 this year. Budget 250-300 for ILP. Previous policy probably lapse since not paying the premium  2 years ago.
any agents for any company feel free pm me your best quotations.
Preferences:
For my baby, tailor the death/TPD/CI as minimum as 20k and focus more on her medical. Waiver for both my baby and payor
No co takaful would be a bonus
Guaranteed Renewal for Life
No PWC

2. I had medical card with 50k on death/TPD/CI, waiver for TPD/CI, r&b 250, annual 75k and lifetime 750k with premium.200 permonth. I would like to add more on my life coverage. Which is better to do? Upgrade or apply life separately? Some says if have both, I have to pay double for fees and some say more cheap if apply separately. But one thing I do know if apply new the agent will the one that happy lol. I just want a neutral opinion.
3. If it better, what life coverage can i get with 200? Can pm me also.
4. From me, I think ILP as a force saving to cope with rising cost of tabarru later. So is it safe for me to think better I take pure medical card standalone and put that extra money on other investment instruments and use them to cope with the rising premium later in older years?

Many thanks.

Let me know your email, will email you the proposals for your wife only, Zurich currently havent own the rights to takaful insurance yet, but within the next 3 months will buy over MAA takaful.

What is the general consensus regarding MAA Takaful insurance?

I read from this thread that Zurich is going to buy over MAA in the next few months. How is that going to affect my insurance policy if I take with them?
*
Zurich will buy over MAA Takaful so that their nsurance agents will have the option to sell Takaful policies, it won't affect exisiting Takaful/non-Takaful insurance policies.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to move abroad for work next year. If I get medical insurance now, is there a way to transfer the insurance to my destination? If not, am I allowed to cancel policies after 1 year? Or should I just continue being uninsured until I move abroad? Thanks.

You should get a medical insurance abroad before cancelling your current one.
