I would like to buy life insurance. I am a female between age 22-28. Can someone inform me:

1) What are the company that provides life insurance? I only know AIA, Great Eastern, and Allianz.

2) Refering to question 1, which company offer better life insurance? What is the difference in their offer?

3) What are the things that I need to consider when buying life insurance?

4) What are the traps or disadvantages that I have to beware of?

5) I heard that I should only buy from agent that I know (meaning he/she should be my friend) and he has to stay nearby my place because if anything happens I can get the agent easily. Is it true?
