Hi Mr tan, is
Is there any group insurance that I can look into beside the SAF Group Insurance, because I am not eligible to join them.
REPLY
If you are a SAFRA member or a Public Servant, you can try NTUC Income. If not, you can buy the a term insurance here: http://tankinlian.com/Admin/File.aspx?id=56

Sale of insurance over the telephone
Hi Mr. Tan,
A couple of days ago, my elderly mother received a call from AA (automobile association) promoting some personal accident insurance. I always believed that consumers should only get insurance that fits our requirements and needs, but the lady on the phone was just trying very hard to sell the insurance. I feel that it is not the right thing to do because:
1) My mom does already have a personal accident insurance when she did not really needed it.
2) The marketing person was highlighting the benefits, but did not talk about the fine prints
3) Consumer are not able to read the terms and condition for insurance sales over the telephone.
My mom has been paying for an insurance bought from a marketeer over the telephone and was charged monthly on her credit card. This is misleading and not fair to consumers who are not street-wise. Can anything be done to protect or educate the general public?
REPLY
I find it bad for insurance to be sold over the telephone. I am also against marketeers calling me on my mobile phone as they are intruding on my privacy and interrupting what I was doing. I will find some way to bring this matter up for public attention. I am quite angry that our government leaders and MPs do not seem to care about these types of issues.

Most capitalist country
My friend from Sweden, who had worked in Singapore for a few years previously, came back for a short visit. He was surprised at the high cost of living here. He said that milk powder in Cold Storage cost 4 times the price in Sweden. Most of the other items here are more expensive than Sweden.
He also said that Singapore has become the most capitalist country. I asked him to explain this statement. He saw two 20 year old condominiums in Holland being torn down to build new condominiums that are higher and smaller. While this can bring profit to the developer, it is wasteful to tear down a building that is still relatively new and replace it with smaller apartments in taller buildings. This must reduce the quality of the living space, for the sake of short term profit.
I agreed with this view. I have always been against the practice of tearing down relatively new buildings.
