It is like forcing, coercing and threatening a restaurant to give out free food with the worst possible manners, just on the pretext that others will know about the restaurant.

QUOTE(MUM @ Jul 14 2023, 01:08 PM) I would consider amount of coverage for this coverage more of a concern than the 1 mil medical coverage. I feel, as someone who has aged a bit, these kind of coverage (life, CI, TPD, etc) are mostly needed in large amount when the person is a young adult and/or have a young family. Not so important after one has aged/managed to accumulate enough to support one's family regardless of what happens to the person. TPD & Accident = 50k | Accidental Death - Additional 50k CritiCover - CI (194) = 50k | 100k if Cancer Related, Heart Attack, Stroke Pokem0n, I think you can request for as low an amount as you can for these, while the savings can be put into the medical coverage. Since you are 28, if you feel like you needed more coverage on TPD/CI/Life, request for a separate one that covers you until a certain age like 50 or 55. trust me, any sane amount (the larger the coverage, the more fees you gave to pay) that you want like 1 million for CI, will be almost nothing by the time you reach 55 years old.... all thanks to inflation.

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jul 17 2023, 10:38 PM) Er you know right for premium of around RM3k/year, the premium can only sustain until say 70 years old+? I have looked at great eastern, allianz , AIA, prudential. All same only. maybe the agents assume the person will kong/die at 70s? Er again not sure where you get the data from, all good agents I talk to said don't expect your ILP to have cash value. Expect 0 value at maturity and you will need to topup along the way for it to be sustainable. How much topup around RM50k. Of course the bad agents I met said don't worry, ILP will cover everything. Lol. |

QUOTE(karazure @ Jul 28 2023, 10:54 AM) HI all Sifus, basically they are saying they changed certain assumptions in their model and now, your investment linked may not be enough to cover the expected price increase of medical treatment. Unker got this today, it advise me to increase premiums by 80/month. I read say can maintain but will effect sustainability, anyone know what exactly does that means? Yes, this policy is investment linked. ![]() so put more premium to beef up the investment part. you can do that, or you can invest that 80rm per month yourself. One day, if you are still alive, they will mentioned that your investment fund in the plan ran out of money, and you now need to pay the medical card fee. (btw, this is why many people don't like ILP, and the same reason why some people love ILP). |

QUOTE(JIUHWEI @ Jul 28 2023, 03:29 PM) When the time comes, every year the insurer will come up with a similar letter suggesting an amount to sustain the policy to whatever age it was intended. Thanks for this explanation. The insurer will not force you to pay, but come time when funds are insufficient, the insurer will still send you a letter requesting for premiums. Without which the policy will be lapsed. This was what was explained to me long ago by my agent, ie not auto-lapse. |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jul 28 2023, 03:31 PM) You cannot do that. You still need to pay RM810. Why? It's called investment link for a reason. You cannot remove the investment part of it. Even if your funds not enough, you need to pay for the investment part. oh sorry, I meant the fund has a value of 10rm, while the medical card fee portion requires RM 800 per month. When this happens (in the far future), the policy is still in effect as long as one makes sure the medical card portion is paid, ie RM 800 per month. |

QUOTE(lifebalance @ Jul 28 2023, 03:37 PM) Whether you like the English word Suggested or not. Your sentence was too short, and it implies as if the 80rm must be top-up now, else the policy will lapse. You got headache. Doctor SUGGEST you to eat Panadol. You don't want to eat, then you will ABSOLUTELY continue to have headache. So, my answer is already clear enough, you don't want to top up, then your policy is ABSOLUTELY going to lapse earlier than the original term. There, my long version. Btw, the English word Suggested has legal implication. Since you want to pick on my English, I would like to clarify that the doctor did not suggest. It is a prescription, and it carries legal implication. Just becareful of how you answer, since you always say you are responsible agent. I have no bone to pick with anyone here, just wanted to make sure the explanation is accurate about that letter. |

QUOTE(JIUHWEI @ Jul 28 2023, 03:43 PM) No bro.... This part I do not know, but I assume you guys who are agents to know better. The main policy is the basic plan, which is the life insurance and the "investment portion". Your main policy die, your rider how to jalan? But what i know is the investment portion is just investment funds and there is no legally binding amount that the policy holder must ensure sufficiency. Else it will create a moral hazard where the insurance provider purposely make bad investment choices. |

It doesn't really matter. You are free to quote me back on what I said. I'm pretty clear on what I've said and have no problem with my English.

QUOTE(JIUHWEI @ Jul 28 2023, 04:05 PM) Well, I don't need to prove that I'm right. sorry, this part I disagree. Same goes to @lifebalance @lifebalance literally pouring his heart and soul into this forum, yet forumers don't seem to appreciate it. It all comes down to how you and lifebalance carried yourselves here. You both declared that you are agents and hence you both have fiduciary duties to ensure what you mentioned are accurate and truthful. I am not an agent (actually I have never declared what I used to do), so I do not have the same responsibilities. Appreciation or not from forumers takes secondary priority.

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jul 28 2023, 05:02 PM) From what I know (this is what the agent tell me, don't shoot me), if you claimed for stuff and insurance ask to pay and claim first, the time when you submit the claim to time of payment, the insurance company will send a letter to all clinics and hospitals within 40km of your house/working place, have Mr xyz have come here before. If yes for what reason? If no then you are clear. If yes, then you kantoi. Not sure how far back they can dig it up. So scary meh? but that is a lot of letters to send out and would that not be a breach of doctor/patient confidentiality? Someone mentioned before here before the PDPA law, insurance company exchange information with one another. Say you got rejected by insurance A and you decided to buy insurance B but you didn't tell insurance B you got decline for insurance A, insurance B will ask around other insurance company have this person been your customer? Not sure if it's still done today with PDPA law. If I am a doctor, I also will ignore cos it is silly and a waste of my time. |
