Not an insurance sifus.... But I think it should be OK to use Malaysia medical card in malaysia hospital if you come back to be admitted.
Just hope that your admission for hospital stay won't be that urgent or emergency n can wait for you to comeback to Malaysia.

I was wondering, in the next 20 yrs, how much will the buying power be for the current value of
CI 50k, R&B 300, TPD 10k.
The hospitalizations cost maybe enough,... What abt life after hospitalization ?
*
thinking about this "Next" 20 years,...
unknown to how much the current premium could have risen by then, (currently it increases at a rate of about 7~10% pa or more??)
unknown to how much she will earn,
unknown to where she will work or stay, (she could have migrate to China biggrin.gif )
unknown to the capability of her to sustain paying for the policy
unknown to whether she will be covered by the employer,...(she may be a Specialist Doctor in a private hospital biggrin.gif )

for me, i would not want to possibly "burden" her with the premium payment when she starts to work (unknown to her earning power) while i am retired with no income to continue to pay for her premium, the premium of my spouse and mine too
thus i just bought some medical insurance that can cover the cost of her hospitalization so as not to "eat" into my retirement savings,
for my income, i could afford about RM300k premium....(what are the chances of medical cost needing RM1mil annual limits, and if needed RM 1mil hospitalization cost....what will the end results of her?...will she be too weak to have a normal life for the rest of her life already)

with my current capability, i would prefer to use the saving saved (from "expensive" insurance coverage) for her education saving plan.....so that her education cost will not "eat" into my retirement plan too...(she will need it in 10 years time)

well, the rest,...just leave it to GOD...."we plan, but GOD decides"

If the questions asked for tips about smoking n how to select them, then lucky strike is one of the place to seek info for they knows.
But if the questions seek to ask if smoking is bad, then lucky strike is most probably not the place to seek for answer.
Right question need right place for answers

But Lucky Strike is likely to twist information (hence not tell the complete truth) so you choose their brand over another.
On a forum like Lowyat, you might find truthful people who already largely researched the subject and can guide you with a few sentences.
*
that truthful person may have his/her motives...which are not known to us
Lucky Strike is at least i know it motives in advance

just like questions posted by forummers here,...at times and some times, they just want to troll and sometimes just for fun ....among many other reasons

I see. Thanks for clarifying.
Wouldn't it be a better alternative to engage an insurance agent or life planner for your insurance needs?

In the case of applying for a critical illness claim, yes there are certain documents required. No worries, it is not complicated.

For a critical illness claim, usually a medical report is required from the attending physician to confirm on the diagnosis, condition, and date.
The purpose of carrying out an investigation is just to ensure there is no case of non-disclosure during policy application. However, it is quite weird that you have to sought for the GP records on your own. Reason why I say this is because signing on the Life and CI policy application, you also authorize the insurer and relevant government institutions to obtain your medical records from licensed medical facilities and institutions. With this claim and subsequent investigation carried out, it is a matter of written letter communications between these entities. Perhaps there is a recent update to FSA 2013 that I am unaware.
Of course, a Critical Illness claim for needs to be filled as well. The relevant forms can only be obtained from PBB.

ON TOP of that, yes the insurer also reserves the right to investigate under the contestability period provision. Filing a claim against the insurer at this stage would be futile, but perhaps you may have a case against PBB for failing to comply with the provisions of FSA 2013 under ethical and professional conduct. But that is up for debate. The OFS would likely advice as such too.

i would have fallen for it in that situation, if at this scenario at that time... "a lower interest rate on my house loan, 4.xx%. Otherwise, the rate will be higher @5.xx%. "

really eye opening to read this few recent postings about this kind of scenarios with this kind of problems.....

How about this..website say same contribution yearly..but PDS said not guaranteed. Can lodge complaint for misleading marketing?

If you meant this statement,......
I hv a standalone yearly renewal plan (from another insurer) ....
The certificate of my coverage matured yearly.
(thus they are correct for my plan, if they are to mentions "Pay level contribution until your certificates matures")
Jfi, throughout the almost 7 yrs of yearly coverage,... The premium had revised once, but at abt 20% increment 😭
You need to check the duration of coverage terms.... If they covers you for only 3 yrs, then I think the premium will be fixed for 3 yrs, then they can increase it before renewing the coverage by giving you advance notice.... 😂😂

Hi guys,

I was met with a pretty strange situation:

A gym operator engaged me for their new outlet's insurance needs. There is also a specific requirement by the property management, which is for him to provide a Public Liability coverage in his outlet with a minimum of RM5mil. Yes, pretty high, I know. (TA already signed and stamped)
So he went to the property management to discuss on reducing the Public Liability coverage to RM2mil. The property management then instructed him to have a "qualified person" to certify that a Public Liability of RM2mil is sufficient.

With my limited experience, I'd like to seek wisdom in this situation.
*
Since the TA had already being signed, I guess nothing can be changed if that person that stand to gain more does not agree,... Just willing seller n wiling buyer leading to signing of TA.
Can hv better negotiation power before signing the agreement.
Better hv that property management spell out their definition of "qualified person".....
Just my 2 cents b4 coffee

I think, the previous long discussion is something like,... Why do agent offer something that are "affordable" (50-100k life coverage), when there is a "rule of thumb" of 5 yrs income coverage to client that need life insurance

There isn't really a "rule of thumb" when it comes to personal finances. Some people just made it up in the past as a yard stick.

Ask yourself, will 5 years be enough for you ? - you may say, I may live for another 20 years after I'm disabled, I should cover 20 years, not 5. To another person, 2 years is enough perhaps ? Who are you to judge?

Then again, there is the perspective of paying the premium. Some people are just not comfortable to pay so much for insurance premium that they're willing to let go of their coverage even after discussing.

It's pretty similar to a car mechanic saying your car tyres are recommended factory 18", but you chose a 15" to save cost. Can your car still run ? Yes; will it give you the best driving experience ? No.
*
👍👍So that is actually no fixed rule of thumb.
So to say that life insurance coverage of 50k for a person earning 4.5k pm is too low as it should be at least 270k (5 yrs income) is not so suitable for all to agree to be correct?
So now I think I know why "mum" questioned this comment...
"nowadays insurance agent simply tembak 50k-100k for life coverage .... i donno how they derived this figure..."

its just waste of time  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

So when you posted "simply tembak 50k - 100k"...then your 270k (5 yrs income)... Not simply tembak tembak too?

its just a guideline .... but even without fact finding , RM50k is really a very low amount. unless the commitment really that high until not afford , then just maintain 50k ....

5-10yrs is a guideline . at least to cover the living expense for a small family in case anything happen....

after all , fact finding part is important to know what they have and what they need to consider to have...
*
So, then maybe the words "simply tembak",... Does not seems to be agreeable to him/her... As there is not fixed rule of thumb to judge if that is really simply tembak or that agent really aimed or what that agent offered is wrong.
If 50k for lifeis not enough, then so are CI of 100k? .....but as you mentioned that it would make the premium costlier if the coverage amount were to increase to 5 yrs... Thus only those that can afford will hv it.

Sorry, I am not here to judge anyone,... Just not sure of others who knows abt insurance n financial planning stuffs.

Medical Repricing for one of the provider - Average increment - RM50 - 500 monthly.

Cost increased by 10% - 80%

You'll get a letter soon if you're one of the policy holder. Sekian.

checked my MArch CC statement just now,...noticed my annual auto debit from previous 2400 to 3300...
