I'll keep medical insurance since it is a necessity.

I just remembered they have an e-connect system where you can supposedly see a lot of information inside.
Account is inactive so have to get a new pin.
I remember I tried this twice before but I never received a pin.

Message on the screen just now:
Forgot Password

You have successfully request for a new password. New password will be mailed to your address within 7 working days.

Let's see if this system now works.

I also have the same kind of problem with them. I emailed them 3 days ago and got a reply about my question. I replied to their email asking for further clarification and so far have not received any reply yet.

Tried e-connect last year and never received the pin. I've tried again today. Let's see if they bother to send anything.

Does anyone know if they still issue receipts for premium payments? If they do not how does one prove to LHDN that one is paying for insurance?

There is a statement called SLAPP is for income tax declaration purpose. You may email or call them, if your email has not registered with Great eastern yet, then they will post to you.

Does that mean that we have to ask them for the SLAPP every year? So now the onus is on us to ask? I used to receive official receipts after I paid my premium.

The returns for the life insurance policy after more than 10 years are less than 1%.
I'll keep my medical insurance.

Previously I had changed the address for all my policies and I have received letters on my new address from GE.
Also, my current address was used as verification during the phone call.

I don't have much hope seeing how they handle all their internet related communication.

Yeah, I know what it's for, but not much use anymore at the moment.

What is the actual (not projected) return from those products?

You mentioned "If you are looking for higher rebates I suggest you look into the savings (more guaranteed returns) plans or investment link products."

So I asked what are the actual returns for these products.

To be more clear: What are the actual returns from savings plans and investment link products from your experience?

I think there is a misrepresentation here.

Investment does offer certain cash value but that cash value is used to hedge against the future cost of insurance so any early cash out will cause your insurance policy to lapse earlier than projected.

And again I have to say saving plan is for saving. Don't expect some kind of high return.

Let me copy paste what I posted in another thread

Think of the endowment or "saving plan" as an alternative towards
1. Tax rebate
2. You can nominate a person to inherit whereas FD can't
3. You're putting aside that money for retirement age / Children education
4. You've a chunk of money that you don't plan to utilize and would like to put it at a slightly above FD rate return and somewhere with not so high risk kind of investment.
5. You don't contribute to EPF and would like to put in some kind of "savings" as a form of retirement fund.

All the above is NOT APPLICABLE" if you:
1. Don't give a damn, figure too small
2. Don't give a damn
3. Think you have better investment out there and you know how to save
4. You don't give a damn about saving altogether
5. You don't give a damn about retirement altogether

If you have trouble understanding between definition of "Saving" and "Investment"
1. Saving is income not spent, or deferred consumption. Methods of saving include putting money aside in, for example, a deposit account, a pension account, an investment fund, or as cash.[1] Saving also involves reducing expenditures, such as recurring costs. In terms of personal finance, saving generally specifies low-risk preservation of money, as in a deposit account, versus investment, wherein risk is higher; in economics more broadly, it refers to any income not used for immediate consumption. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saving

2. To invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future.

In finance, the expected future benefit from investment is a return. The return may consist of capital gain and/or investment income, including dividends, interest, rental income etc.

Investment generally results in acquiring an asset, also called an investment. If the asset is available at a price worth investing, it is normally expected either to generate income, or to appreciate in value, so that it can be sold at a higher price (or both).

Investors generally expect higher returns from riskier investments. Financial assets range from low-risk, low-return investments, such as high-grade government bonds, to those with higher risk and higher expected commensurate reward, such as emerging markets stock investments. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment

Understood on the above. Do you happen to know any actual returns for AIA plans?

Hi

You may refer to our fund performance inside this link

Thanks, it is good to see some insurers put the data online.

I had received a pin, but it ran into some problems. I told them about the problems so they sent another pin. Now I can finally enter the system. And here ends the good news.

The bad news is that they won't change the payment date in their system even though I already sent them the proof that the payment was made earlier than the date in their system.

They asked me to send in a letter to their office requesting to change the date in their system. At this point I'm too tired already to do this.

If I hadn't noticed the wrong amount in the statement I also would not have known that the payment was entered wrongly in their system.

The consequence of the payment date entered wrongly was that the auto loan kicked in.

I have no clue what the consequence of this auto loan kicking in is, but it can't be good I suppose.
