Are you adequately protected against life’s uncertainties?
Singaporeans Face a $952 Billion Protection Gap
The latest Protection Gap Study 2022 by the Life Insurance Association Singapore (LIA) revealed that there remains a 21% mortality protection gap and a staggering 74% critical illness (CI) protection gap among economically active individuals in Singapore1.
Life Expectancy is Rising: Singaporeans are living longer, but extended lifespans mean more years of health-related expenses. Have you factored this into your current coverage? Not doing so could erode years of savings and derail even the most carefully laid retirement plans.
Critical Illnesses are Expensive: Did you know that on average, patients struck with a critical illness take around 3 to 5 years to recover and return to being economically productive? This leaves many families under-prepared for long recovery periods and lead to degradation in standard of living.
Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones: Ensuring you are fully protected with life and critical illness insurance isn’t just about safeguarding yourself—it’s about giving your family financial security if the unexpected happens.
According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Basic Financial Planning Guide2, here are the basic rules of thumb for protection that you can consider.
For example, someone with the median monthly income of $5,197 should be covered for death & total permanent disability to the tune of at least $561,276. This person should also be insured against critical illness for at least $249,456.

Note: Insurance plays an important role in your financial planning, and buying an insurance product is a long-term commitment. You should seek financial advice from your trusted financial adviser representative before purchasing any policies.
Term insurance is life insurance that provides insurance coverage only for a fixed period of time. An example of term insurance is the Dependants' Protection Scheme.
Riders can be attached to enhance the benefits provided by the policy. As this may vary from product to product, check with your insurance company for more details.
Since young, the dream of being a medical doctor has always been in my heart and following closely to my Secondary School mottoes – 礼义廉耻 忠孝仁爱 Courtesy, Righteousness, Integrity, Sense of Shame, Loyalty, Filial Piety, Humanity and Love, that mould my principles and attitude in life. However, life was endless challenge to me. Starting from my late elder brother going through 9 yrs of kidney failure then passing on at age or 30, then my beloved late maternal grandmother who struggled through 20 tormenting years of renal dialysis. In between was my mother who suffered 2 episodes of cancer and father’s business gotten into severe problems. Just like what the wise man’s words, if it did not kill you, it only make you stronger – exactly how I reminded myself to stay positive and engrained in myself that Integrity and Humanity are important aspects I hold tightly in my life along with other 6 values.
Initially, I was an Engineer in a Japanese Company and then after 13 months, I started my career in Financial Services with the objective of being a Financial Planner, instead of just being an Insurance Sales Agent.
I finally got my chance to walk away from the Insurance Industry when I was licensed by MAS to be a Financial Adviser Representative with Financial Alliance, Singapore’s largest Independent Financial Adviser (“IFA”). Now, I can truly render unbiased and genuine financial advice to my clients, friends and their loved ones.
In 2007, I met my mentor. He taught me what is true and genuine Client-Centric Financial Planning. I spent almost 7 years mastering this approach. With my wonderful mentor, I finally learned to be who I have always wanted to be – a Client-Centric Financial Planner.
“Sincere”, “Genuine”, “Honest” and “Helpful” are the common feedback I get from my friends after they have met up with me and later, engage my services to assist them in their Financial Well Being.
With the support of Singapore’s largest IFA Firm, I am able to provide the most comprehensive Financial Services catered to the needs of today’s consumers.
