Medical insurance isn't scam.
But investment linked medical insurance isn't really benefitting you, it is benefitting the agents who get higher commisions so recommend it by default.

Scam.

When want claim they tell you to use your own money to pay first and claim later.
Now, under emergency how people can suddenly get a few hundred thousand for surgery?
Later claim also not guarantee they will approve the full amount.

Either agent didn't explain to you properly & you didn't see the quotation documents - for GE the standalone plan's commission is HIGHER than the investment-linked policy AND standalone plan's (only the medical card portion) premiums are higher - that was 5 yrs ago when I studied the brochures. Now I dunno d.

Fk... Got one insurance amoi keep suggesting to me high net worth  individual plan.  At the end of duno how many years can take duno how much....

I read macam doesn't make sense....how come pay 4-5k  a month only cover 1 million upon death? I read many of my friends sell those hibah Islamic card , only few hundred a month then upon death can get around 500k like that.... Seems like 4-5k pay 10 times more but a lot of the money going somewhere else.

I don't depend on agent. I read every page of the agreement. Not the brochure, but the 100 page agreement.

My two sen advice generally to people.
Insurance is for insurance. Investment is for investment.

You mix the two, your agent driving Merc/BMW.
