      Hi tianzhu

      Am not yet age 55.
      At present, I would choose the Standard. I dont see the valid point or need to leave a high bequest as policies keep changing. It may be better for me to get some $$ 1st.
      Thanks.

          There is an article just last sunday 1 June , discussing this. It really depends on individual needs, hence choose accordingly. But do remember, the default is Standard, and the Standard Plan has a higher payout.

            I do know that the medical will be covered at a higher percentage but don’t know the detail.


            But I am just wondering if the plan we bought from private insurance company is still needed.

                Even with Standard plan, even if you have satisfied the Minimum Sum, I don’t think we can survive on the monthly income from standard plan. currently for male its about 1.1K per month.

                  it is itemized bill vs as charged. Even MediShield Life is not as charged, you will still need private integrated shield plan. The only question now is how much will be the increased premium?

                    The payout from cpf life is never intended the sole income during retirement.

                      very true, but.... in reality a different thing.
