Just thinking out loud, would mental illnesses be covered by insurance? Like visiting shrinks, talking² while the doctor scribble on notes

It is Etiqa Insurance QUOTE(JIUHWEI @ May 24 2023, 01:02 PM) Usually, insurance companies don't really want to insure buildings/properties left vacant for that long of a period. This is correct. Renewed my insurance through phone, and enquire about it to the CS. She said that they won't insure house that are left vacant more than 90days. Asked whether can leave the house vacant still, but impact premium? No, she said. >90days = not insured.

What is this Hibah all about, and is it really at all necessary? In my circle of friends, they said agents approached them to get this hibah thing, to the extend they have promoted this waaaaaaaay more than the usual coverage e.g. health, life, CI....

QUOTE(lifebalance @ May 22 2024, 06:43 PM) Hibah is the voluntary transfer of property ownership from one party to another during the life of the transferor, without any consideration. It is a gift in the form of cash or property, and is often used to honor someone. The word hibah comes from the Arabic word Hiba, which means "gift" or "blessing". So how is hibah related to insurance? The way I see it is that I buy a hibah insurance, nominate a person that will receive it in the event that I die. The way I am making money is the difference between the premium paid, and the compensation received. Say premium is 1k/year, compensation is 10k. died-ed on second year, so the nominee will get 8k. Correct?

QUOTE(jsonting @ May 23 2024, 04:44 PM) How Hibah is related to insurance? - Takaful is one of the way to leverage on to leave behind "hibah" to your loved ones. It cannot be challenged by any person or institution, making it a good instrument to guarantee your loved ones receive whatever amount you buy. Why would someone use Takaful to hibah? - because you can leave behind money that you haven't earned yet. You pay a fraction, but when death happens, takaful company will pay your family much higher lump sum than what you paid. e.g, you pay 1k/year, sum cover is 10k, so when you die, your nominee will get 10k as per agreed. I wouldn't say any insurance is making money... cos when a person died, the family loss all the income possibility the person could earn if they still around. So insurance is minimizing loss... not making money. Thanks for points. on the way takaful hibah is structured, there is a term limit to it, example 30years, yes? can there be a chance the premium paid exceeds the compensation. and in instances the person insured is still alive, would the insurance return the premium, or consider burn?

Thank you all for the response. What about age? if not mistaken there's this age tier (say, 30-35, 36-40, etc) so wouldn't it make sense to review policy before going into the next age tier. as example, to review policy prior to turning 36 next birthday?

I have a 4-year old policy, and unlike previous years, my Agent is no longer as keen to respond to my policy reviews. Is it normal?

I have stopped smoking cigarettes for over three years now. So if I were to subscribe to new term life insurance, should I still select for 'smoker' or I can now select 'non-smoker'?
