Is your life insurance coverage adequate?

do take a note, as pointed out by above post by "Lifebalance",
"Depending on your affordability. It will be advisable to review your existing coverage depending on your financial plan"

let me check it.

I am trying to buy for my sister who is OKU in "intelektual' but Manulife wanted her to do medical check up and premium is high.

I don't see there are any valid reasons for the needed to do medical check and impose high premium. Don't tell me intelektual has higher risk in all diseases.

Is this one kind of discrimination?
*
if i can remember,...previously got discussed in lyn.... intellectually disabled may have difficulty getting medical cards ......
as most plans would have sort of exclusion like this....
psychotic, mental or nervous disorders, (including any neuroses and their physiological or psychosomatic manifestations);

but not sure about any latest amendment to it...

Both plans offer sustainability until age 60..
I only want to cover for unexpected accidents and CI. But I read a lot of comments saying that ILP plan is not that good as compared to term insurance.
Should I be concerned?

read in this forum....the rate of premium increases for term insurance is steep after age 60....
you need to check that out and confirm

Initially the agent came up with a plan that cost RM7k yearly. I almost fainted cause all i asked for was basic plan with medical coverage. After explaining further on my needs he came back with the current plan im on. I still find this expensive, will have a discussion with him on removing some of the riders. Not sure if the age of the agent played a part since he is quite new to the industry and probably money driven  hmm.gif

It wrote something like 6000 x 15% = 900 interest 1st year
6000 x 15% = 900 interest 2nd year
3rd, 4th, 5th
Total interest you earn for first 5 years is 75%

Than my mum wow, such a good deal, where find
At the beginning, my mum wish to intend a total RM50k (she assume RM10k first year, 10k 2nd year, 3rd - 5th), and proceed it with one goal RM50k, yeepy, just left it there 5 years, wait 5 years maturity then she will get RM50k plus yearly 15% (1.5k interest), 50k for 5 years for another type of "FD" (my mum thought it's new style of FD), it will become 50k plus 37,500 interest (total 87500), great deal right?

At the end it become RM50k yearly contribution. And the most terrible part is, my mum hate 'insurance'. She always murmur beside me yearly regarding that she bought a yearly 6k annual premium medical+ life + lil bit of saving, and thinking to surrender every year to save back the 6k 'spending'
Imagine, sounds ridiculous but it does happen

During my dispute with the advisor, i keep focus on this point, did you really expect my mum understand, especially they use those wording that uneducated senior that won't understand, ex. like circumstances, but not mentioning situation.

The draft paper wrote by the agent, i left it in my office together with the policy.
Probably i try to post it here on Monday due tomorrow's holiday and im not working during weekend.

just 15% pa,,, hmm.gif
recently there was a plan offer at 30% pa too on a recent thread. thumbsup.gif
(if you look at the image posted in post 17,...this 30%pa "guaranteed income per year" is for 20 yrs while paying just for 6 yrs only)

check that out for further info on discussion made regarding that plan....
hope you could read comments posted there so that you could gather some added info...

For me as a insurance beginner knowledge, there's "trap" everywhere, especially for me.
I'd learned sooo much of these knowledge for these 3 days. Appreciate sifus here.
Now only i understand why some insurance expert always mentioned
You buy insurance, it's insurance, it insured something like health and etc, it's neither saving nor investment.
Im guessing for public people like me, as a consumer for these products, once we know the concept, then we just understand.
The link you provide is great for people like me, that's not truly understand insurance.
Great example too, it's like "trap" of wordings and etc everywhere
*
i think, there are usually not highlighted or mentioned during the discussion with the clients.
what the clients wanted to hear is get 15% returns pa.....
what they did not tell is that that "return" is actually impacting the cash value or in that case the amount of death benefits.

it is usually the human greed that is causing the falling into the "trap" (as per your term)....
nothing much can be blamed,...
just that maybe can try contact PIAM or Ombudsman for Financial Services (OFS) to seek their help or advise on what you can do

At what age do you all bought your first insurance? I am young and fresh out to the job market. When should I start covering myself? Also, any recommendation for me?
*
if you are riding motorbike to work,...try get a PA for a start
check if your employer did provide any kind of insurance for you, if they are providing some kind of insurance, try to seek more info about the type of coverage and the amount it gives....
then review if that is enough for you now.

Hi guys, i found that hong leong assurance is offering a medical card with 2.5 million annual limit but the room and board is just rm200. HLA is the only company offering such high annual limit with 200 room and board. Sounds too good to be true, is there anything i should be aware of here?
*
QUOTE(tan71500 @ Aug 6 2020, 08:14 PM)
yeah i thought of that too, but their medical card lowest annual limit is 2.5m
*
i think insurance industry in malaysia is very competitive...
if they gives you 2.5mil annual limits...then something else would have to gives way...
like death benefits, amount of coverage, claimable amount for each items, co payment, deductibles, etc etc...
thus you really have to study /review /compare with other companies first, before you buy just for the 2.5mil target amount

especially so for HLA...for they are "famous" for their wealth booster plan or something similar where they claims to be giving guaranteed 20% returns pa.....in reality, the buyers did not realize that those returns given could impact their maturity benefits or death benefits. brows.gif
(well that is according to many previous lyn threads on them, search for them, if anyone want to know more about those plans and comments posted in lyn.)
