QUOTE(jojoe @ Mar 16 2017, 02:52 PM) can someone suggest investment link insurance for 36 male non smoker ~monthly rm250 my current policy been very long time and i think i should update it with the current latest offer. It will be advisable to meet the life planner face to face to further evaluate your financial health status to provide a better advise rather than just putting in a budget in here.

You definitely should update it with the current latest offer. However, kindly check with your current agent on the options available to your current policy. It's definitely not gna cost less than RM250/mo additional premium.

Do a review with your current agent to do a top up if you find the coverage is insufficient. An upgrade (instead of getting a new one) is always for the policy holder benefit. You may read more on my blog on why it is not beneficial to you to cancel a policy just to get a new one, if you feel bored.

QUOTE(mktan78 @ Mar 15 2017, 04:23 PM) Hi, I understand that, I just want to tackle the part on charges for medical card , for the case of Prudential quotation, total premium (monthly) is RM460, this is made up of basic account ILP (rm16.68) and CI (rm13.00) ; protection account PVM (rm367.94) and waiver (rm62.38). So, I just want to compare only the RM367.94 part (which total to RM4415.28 yearly as opposed to GE with only RM910.82 yearly). PVM or SmartMedic + SM Extender, this should be the comparison part that I'm interested in, while each product comes with its own COI, I'm more keen to understand what makes the vast amount of differences which is 4.8 times higher for PVM. Assuming these medical card as car for analogy comparison, then I need an answer why Perodua cost only 60K while a BMW cost 288K, each still a car but bearing different price tag, so what exactly more superior of BMW vs Perodua to worth the additional 4.8 times higher price tag to facilitate consumer like me to decide which is better car to take up. I'm getting long-winded , sorry about that.  u should post the COI for the prudential. We can help u analyze.

As informed, PVM COI (attached) only for 1mil med points while the one compared is with 1.5mil med points. Quotation doesn't comes with full listing of all COI, so, really doesn't know where to get it. Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi, I'm 29 this year, and expecting a baby this June. I already covered by Etiqa Twin Special. However now I'm thinking of getting insurance plan that will cover my family too. Is there any recommendation and what kind that I should get? Other than that, I'm open to other type of insurance and I doesn't mind to cancel my current Etiqa if my latest insurance offer a better offer or deal.
I'm 29, non smoker, no chronic illness, a Medical Assistant in government sector, income around 50k annually. Wife 29, non smoker, no chronic illness, not working.
Thank you.

QUOTE(MNet @ Mar 18 2017, 02:42 PM) Expensive is one thing, but I do want to find out the rationale behind. Eg, one company promises moon and stars with kitty cost, another with such limited benefit per say, but such higher premium. So, cheaper better and expensive lousier? Or there's catch between the lines that consumers like us failed to distinguish. I don't think Prudential is a no brainer to charge such high COI, but just we may failed to understand the logic behind when rest of competitors are having much lesser COI. Heachache. Seems like no guru or sifu here that could explain this.

Hai everyone. I need some opinions from all sifus on my current situation that im facing right now. Before that im 30 yrs old and still single and currently im having two insurance policy from AIA which is: 1) WHOLE LIFE PLUS NONPAR = 100K (issued jun 2012) 2) A-LIFE LINK-i = 161k (issued jan 2016)
Both insurance i paid for rm161.2 and rm267 each which is to me quite an amount.
Yesterday, my old old friend which is an insurance agent with ABC company came to me and ask me to bring my policy book. So keep the story short he wants to offer me a new insurance policy which is better than what im getting right now. Plus the amount i'll be paying lesser. He ask me to surrender the policy that im having right now which to me is not a good idea.
Any advice sifus/gurus?

If he is really your old old friend, he wouldnt do such a thing. If you are bored and got nothing to do you may read why it is not beneficial to cancel your old insurance plan just to start a new one at my blog.

I'd be wary when people suddenly tell you to cancel your policy. Even if you do decide to cancel your old policy it's important to take note of things such as waiting period for medical coverage etc. Bottom line, analyse carefully before making a decision, don't just cancel to help your friend make a sale. Cheers.
