I want to confirm when submitting claim for medical/critical illness insurance, how the insurance company check whether the claimant has similar insurance type with other company and whether they are making the claim?

When the insurance company knowing they are making the claim at the same time, will they will proportionate the claim?

Hi, my aunty forget to pay his Great Eastern 2021 premium. When I check her online account, there is APL letter.

However, the APL amount in APL Letter and in Premium Information are different. May I know which amount is the latest amount that my aunty should pay, exclude 2022 premium (due in November 2022)?

She want to pay in Public bank online, is it possible and how she can know GE already receive her payment?

Hi, I have some questions about nominee/beneficiary and will for AIA insurance.

1. Can I appoint nominee or beneficiary for my AIA insurance in MyAIA portal?

2. What is the formula to calculate how much the appointed nominee or beneficiary will get when I passed away?

3, Who will get the insurance proceed when the stated name in the will for the same policy number is different with the appointed nominee or beneficiary?

4. When trustee (policyholder's wife) is selected, will this trustee receive the insurance proceed, just like nominee/beneficiary, when the policyholder passed away?

2. You decide the portion during nomination, similar to epf. Generally, if nothing is mentioned, is deemed equal share ... same with property joint ownership.

3. Dont complicate matters for the living. Change the will and or nomination. The dead is gone, the living can go to court for an interpretation no matter which is right. Dont have to shed tears in grave.

4. That is the purpose of the trustee, to manage for the purpose specified.

Thank you for your reply.

Question 2: I am referring to the formula such as Procced receive by the beneficiary (one person, 100%) = x + y + z +.....
so what is the x, y, z and etc

Question 4: I noticed my dad life insurance is putting my mum's name as trustee instead of beneficiary/nominee while my name is label as beneficiary for some life insurance. Just wonder will my mum has issue to receive the fund for that insurance when my dad is no longer with us (touch wood).

1. No. You will have to fill up the form either with your servicing agent, or you can go to any of the servicing branches to do so.

2. This is up to you to decide. Let's say your sum assured is "x". Then you can write down the details of each of your nominees, and put down whatever percentage (up to 100%) you'd like them to receive respectively. There's no formula. If you just want to show exactly how much you hate one of them, just give the person 1% and the other person 99%, also can. It is entirely up to you.

3. Insurance nomination takes precedence. Insurance nominations need not be included in the will. (Sorry, but it does sound like you're making it difficult for yourself).

4. Trustee is very different from nominee/beneficiary. A nominee/beneficiary receives the monies as their monies. How a nominee/beneficiary utilizes the insurance proceeds is entirely up to them. On the flip side, a trustee is holding the monies in trust. Which goes on to mean that the monies do not belong to the trustee, and the trustee is merely holding it on behalf of the actual beneficiaries. The trustee can only utilize the monies for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
The topic is actually very straight forward. Don't complicate it ya  thumbsup.gif

For the question 4, if the policy only have appointed trustee (the relationship between the policyholder and the trustee is husband and wife) and no nominees elected then does the trustee can appoint the beneficiary/nominee at the insurance branch?

Hi all,

My mother has a home loan with CIMB bank since 2013. Now, the loan is fully settle and waiting for lawyer to discharge loan account to get the land title from the bank.

She has a fire insurance cover building and content with Sun Life then being informed changed to Berjaya Sompo. She does not remember whether the insurance is a MRTA or MLTA.

However, the insurance premium will appear in her home loan bank account and letter from the bank informed the premium has been debited into the loan account. The last insurance statement informing on the increase premium mention the financier is CIMB bank and insured is my mother.

I have email CIMB bank, they replied that the loan does not have MRTA and MLTA facility. While Berjaya Sompo is still checking with the bank to find it out.

The bank reply is contrary with the special condition mention in the SPA where a single premium group mortgage level or reducing term assurance (GMTA), whichever is applicable. Also, I believe bank will not let my mum to sign the loan agreement if there is no MRTA or MLTA.

Anyone has experience on home loan without MRTA or MLTA but only a fire insurance added to the loan account?

Open up the loan offer letter and it will be able to tell you if there was any MRTA or not.

Is the offer letter same with SPA? or the one with stamp duty stamping?

My aunty has a Great Eastern life insurance. when she alive, she has nominated me as the beneficiary.

Now she passed away and waiting her death certification to release.

May I know do I need to present at the branch to submit a copy of the death certification to get the insurance claim? Beside death certification, what documents are needed for this claim process?

Can other family member submit on behalf of me? If yes, any document I need to prepare?

It's call investment linked. You can take out some money but it will affect your insurance sustainability. If it is pure life, should be no issue. If it's medical yes, will have issue (cannot sustain until the age you want).

Those that diagnosed with certain disease is call critical illness. To know what critical illness are eligible, read the PDF file by the insurance company. If your condition does not fulfilled their definition, sorry no payout even though eg if it's a heart attack.

Thanks for the info.

I want pure insurance, not investment linked insurance. I am planning to buy to increase my personal income tax relief.

For life, I know the insurance fund will be distributed to the beneficiary once the policyholder pass away.
For medical (hospitalization/critical illness) will be claim when you admit to hospital (hospitalization) while diagnose to illness covered then it will fully claimable the insurance fund.

Since I am planning for tax relief, then I want able to use the insurance fund when I am need money to assist myself to recover or pay off certain financial, not after I pass away.

If I have 2 critical illness insurance from 2 different insurance company, when the policyholder diagnosed for a cancer that covered under both insurance plan and able to get 100% claim based on the sum insured.

In this case can the policyholder able to get a claim from both plans 100%?

Is this apply to hospitalization and medical insurance for medical bills?

Recently I noticed Generali have eCombo plan that cover life, medical and critical illness but does not have maturity benefit/distribute dividend.

Any insurance company offers such combo plan that has maturity benefit/distribute dividend and able to buy it online?

I have AIA critical illness plan but they will divide 40% and 60% as life and medical. Is this same as other insurance company offer critical illness plan?

Is there any life, medical (standalone) and CI insurance that can buy online and has cash value/maturity benefit?

Second question is about life insurance. The terms and conditions stated can opt to be covered up to max 80 year old but the coverage years selection in online portal is maximum to 47 years. If I choose the coverage years to 47, is it mean I will be covered till (current age +47 year, but not more than 80 year old)?

Personally, I feel that CI is only 3rd important and even then optional, after Medical and Life (but only if you have dependent).

What do you mean only if you have dependent then CI is more important.

The plan is too expensive for me now so I wish to downgrade it. My agent is already retired and the assigned one is not responding. Haiz.

May I know is this the usual practice for upgrade an old insurance plan? Continue to serve the old plan and buy a new plan. When the new plan has about 2 years, then can surrender the old plan. The reason is there is a waiting period of 120 days and 2 years contestability period for the new plan.

Any other methods that you guys can suggest while minimize the cost of premium to be paid?

Anyone signed up for this new PruMillion Med Active plan?

The main feature of this ILP is offer 15% discount on your yearly premium. If the policyholder age <=65 year old, when there is a claim <5K then likely need to top up 15% of the premium for a year. If the claim amount is >5K then policyholder need to top up 35% for 2 years and back to original premium the next year and then the following year will get back the discounted premium.


Just want to know any expected risk for this kind of ILP. Chance of claim will not as frequent as contribution made so we still can use the discounted amount wisely on other matter.
