These Insurance Needs are All you Need

In my 20 years of recommending insurances, I come to appreciate that protection gaps can be easily covered with a limited budget (couple of hundreds of dollars).In short, you don’t have to allocate a big chunk of your savings to insurances, and use the excess as investments.

To simplify the complications to insurance needs, below are the 6 areas, classified easily into A to F of insurance and the recommended coverage in brackets.

Accidental cover (3 x annual income)

* Reimburse outpatient GP and specialist medical expenses due to accident.

* Loss of income due to temporary disability from accident

* Lump sum payout to love ones on accidental death.

Basic Hospital cover (using integrated shield plan)

* In-patient hospital bills in private and/or govt wards

* Pre and post hospital bills

* Outpatient kidney dialysis, chemotherapy, day surgery etc

Critical illness (5 x annual income)

* Lump sum payout for special drugs/treatments/equip not covered by above, and loss of income

Disability (10 x annual income)

* Lump sum treatment for permanent disability or

* Monthly income for temporary disability or unable to do 3 out of 6 ADLs (Activities of Daily Living)

Early Illness (3 x annual income)

* Lump sum treatment on early illnesses diagnosis to cover temporary loss of income due to inability to work for a short period.

Family protection (10 x annual income)

* Covers loss of income of breadwinner’s death as the death proceeds provide income for the young dependents and/or the elderly parents who are dependent on the breadwinner. This allows the widowed spouse to have a choice of stopping work to tend to the kids.

As the saying goes, the only certainty in life is tax and death (or illnesses). If we have to suffer from those, why not ‘earn’ from it? Why not transfer the risk to others with less than 10% of your income? Life is too precious to leave cheaply. Leave behind a legacy to your love ones so that we can leave with dignity. I am not sure about you. But I am sure if i have to leave this word, I want my family to be richer than when I was alive.

With 20 years of experience in financial advisory, I currently lead a team of dedicated and passionate financial representatives. Together, we manage approximately $75 million in client assets, and each team member brings an average of 15 years of industry experience. Our strength lies not just in numbers, but in our shared values—practicality, integrity, and a genuine desire to serve.

As a team leader, I am deeply committed to recruiting and mentoring like-minded, grounded consultants who are driven not just by performance, but by purpose. I believe in building a team culture that values long-term relationships over short-term sales, where consultants feel empowered to grow professionally while staying true to who they are.

I’ve had the privilege of being featured in local media such as The Straits Times, TODAY, Channel U, Radio 93.8, and various financial publications. I am also the author of two books:
📘 Happiness Within Your Reach
📘 Even Introverts Can Sell

Beyond finance, I’m passionate about financial freedom, mental health, and sustainable living—three pillars that I believe are essential to a meaningful and balanced life.
