Hi,

after going through all the threads.. I'm still not clear about purchasing medical card.
Is it a good idea to buy stand alone or with another plan (my agent friend told me that it's advisable to buy investment link because it is renewable whereas a standalone might not be renewable). I read some threads that said medical cards are renewable. Which is the better option?

I'm looking to buy insurance for my mum with emphasis on the medical card. My budget is less than RM3k per annum and her location is in Sabah. She will be 60 this October.

I was interested in AIA but I only found one agent in Sabah who was kaw2 trying to sell me investment link and using scaring tactic to get me to buy higher insurance amount. I didn't like her approach. My agent friend from Etika also busy with family and replies my queries sporadically. I feel frustrated with this situation. Can anyone give me a recommendation? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this useful reply. I was planning to get it for her secretly (and yes, I'm paying) because she doesn't believe in insurance and is ADAMANT not going for a checkup. This is a real headache for me but I just feel that we need to safeguard the future, esp as I heard it's harder to get insurance over 60. Thanks to conquerer to for giving me info by PM, and the others who replied. Prolly will have to inform her still and get her to do a medical checkup

supersound,
just curious. so what plan are you on (if any)? do you still have insurance?

btw, my Etiqa friend replied already.
