For ILP, the insurance charges increase and are very high when we get older. Of course, we must buy another type of life insurance first before we terminate ILP...

dats mean it is good to buy ordinary life rather than ILP unless budget limitation when YOUNG, since ILP is increasing premium from time to time

I coming from this angle.

Is the parent that needs to buy the insurance for his family hence that the first step is to protect the main breadwinner (mother or father). That is why 1st step of any financial planning is to make sure that the bread winner is well -covered before even talking about other things like retirement, children education and others.

If the breadwinner no longer around the insurance money received can help the child(ren). End of story.
With this point, we need not buy insurance for the children. Why you need to pay endownment that covers the child? Well i suggest you buys life insurance for your child, and tranferred to him/her when she reaches age of maturity or when she/he comes out to work.He/she can continue from there onward...

well, from my point of view, i do agree that insurance that covered parents may help their child(ren), but what if the unfortunate incident happened on the kid? if die(touchwood), then end of story. but if not die(e.g. CI, TPD), this will heavily burden the parents. for endowment, what if the CI & TPD is happened on parents? all the claims will be used to support parents' life. then how about kid's education, medical?

Life is not perfect, and cruel sometimes, you cannot have whatever protection you needed. So need to prioritise which one is more or most important. Just like a couple have a newly born baby or kids, the most important is to insure on the one that is the financial supporting pillar, not the child or baby. If the child passed away, the parent won't suffer (financially as insurance is about financially issue), but if one of the parent which is the main earner passed away, then we have 2 people are suffering.

this is where financial planning will take place so that a person can have enough protection with lesser suffer of financial burden

If the plan is 100% same, the premium will be the same. Only when an agent add on or reduce either rider or sum assured or other benefit. Unless the person insured is having any health problem that will increase the risk, then company might increase the premium to higher than normal.

Hi, how about your age and occupation?
You friend's policy coverage? any other coverage beside the 100k?

well, whether is it because of agent, it is not appropriate for me to comment.

But, critical illness coverage will tend to be more expensive then accidental benefit.
The other possibility is, there is higher portion of saving in your policy.

By the way, i don't there is medical coverage in your policy since you couldn't find it.

To be sure, i will need to review your policy only can give you an accurate answer.

Hey guys....

Im currently having Prudential (PruLink i think) about 3-4 years already, but recently i heard ppl saying Great Eastern is the best insurance.

Does anyone know whats the difference?
Should i stop Prudential and switch to Great Eastern, or get both?

there is no best product.
and it is not so good to cancel existing policy unless it is over insured.
you may consider to take extra if u feel insufficient

May be i can help you to do a policy review before you make a decision? So that your policy won't be wasted if it is not necessary to change.

Is it ok for you?

So what is your concern about the coverage?
Just how many types of illness? or?
