Age 6 is when kids are starting to be stronger so less chances of hospitalisation, the cost of insurance will start to be lower.

Life insurance is not a priority (but coverage cost is cheap, and many ILP plans you need to buy life coverage) since kids don't have economic value yet but critical insurance, personal accident and medical/hospitalisation coverage is important.

Just commenting since don't see any replies, helping to bump this tered. Maybe you already got PMs from agents d.

I would highly recommend to get medical insurance for your kid. However, the only option so far is ILP. I don’t think there is any option to get standalone medical card for newborn (pls correct me if I’m wrong).

yes, get the life insurance to cover for the disability portion. It cost alot of money to care for a disabled person. Special schools, extra helper, special food, modified homes and car, these cost money too. But main priority medical card, got spare cash then add the rest like CI and life.

I got medical card for my kids as soon as they are born and qualify for one

It's either prudential or great eastern for me, both same same, I take whichever one that approves for my kids

I scared even dengue or hfm can end up in hospital sometimes and it costs a bomb so good to get one young

Life, I also got for them. Cos buy young so cheap once thye older and start to work ask them to continue paying for themselves

I don’t think the premium is that expensive. I am currently paying about 200 per month for insurance plan that mainly covers hospitalisation only.

there are more than one type of life insurance plan. i think yours is a basic one. the type that she bought, she required to pay the premium every month, then after a period of time passed she can request to withdraw out partial of the money paid for any reason. it is something like a savings account. also, maybe partial of the premium paid may be used for some kind of investment by the insurance agent/company (but the return is not guaranteed)

I think you are referring to those investment linked plans? Yes I bought one of those as well, but it covers mainly hospitalisation only. I didn’t add any additional riders to keep the premium low, as I don’t need them anyway.
