160/m, 23F

1. Death + 36DD, TPD = 120K
2. Medical card =50K-->150K lifetime
3. TPD income 120K
4. Waiver for premium during TPD @ 36DD
5. Option to add female disease but RM160/m may not sufficient , else hav to cut down 1. n 3. at least by half.
6. PA 30K

can i ask what is the difference for saving and investment link insurance? which 1 is more suitable for me?
my frens said if buy investment link insurance, then the medical card not need to top up when we are getthing older cos will using investment money to top up.is it right?

ar....verl lazy wanto read paragraph  tongue.gif (next time pls put number for question.... tongue.gif )
1. if it is investmentlinked (ILP), yes, u can increase premium later at anniversary.
2. Y terminate medical card ? use until it expires at age 70 or so...
3. Nowadays , Life insurance = Death+ TPD + 36Disease , u need critical illness more when u r old, death is only an ending when u r old coz ur dependants are independant at tht time, u donwan them to pay their hard-earned money to hospital for ur sickness...
4. by the time u terminate old policy n get new policy, the premium is higher than u expect...old is gold as it accumulates cash bonus / return.
5. 1 thing about buying insurance from someone u know, u can't ask until very detail due to Paiseh, so u can get a stranger agent n ask kaokao.
6. never think insurance is a burden, it's a commitment, it's not accessary, it is necessary.
1. savings = u keep money in insurance company, it provides u some coverage n give u CASH bonus on the money u save and maturity bonus when it matures / expires at certain year. investmentlinked aka ILP , u pay for all the coverage u wan in the policy ($$ burnt), remaining $$ goes into insurance company investment fund (differs by portfolio) and invest ur money , risk of return is involved.

2. the medical card fees for ILP still increase every few yrs, is just that in ur policy everything is calculated ( charges as in 1.) , it will generate a projected return from ur investment that will be sufficient to cover the premium increment for ur medical card, so ur guess is right. saving insurance does not have medical card, u hav to buy standalone medical card .

Then is it means savings insurance is better than investment link insurance? sweat.gif

my frens recommend me this :Investment link

Death -30k
36 diseases -30k
medical card + hospital benefit
PA -30K
TDP -30K
Female -50K

the fees is rm 190/month..

so what do u all think?for me is a bit high the fees ...so anyone can give me some opinion which 1 need to cut down? blink.gif
