High insurance premium for school bus

Mr Tan
Currently for school buses insurance had gone up significantly and beside this NTUC are now selecting their customers i.e those with accident (be it only 1) during the year NTUC at the moment decide not to cover the policy instead of qouting a price. ( as being part Government shouldnt NTUC be helping instead of pushing them away and just drop them?)


Currently in the market we only have NTUC, AXA and Liberty for school buses insurance coverage. However, with NTUC choosing their customer the other two companies will increase their price higher and this vicious circle will cause a huge problem as drivers cannot afford it and their "rice bowl" will be a big issue as most of them have only lower primary level and without insurance there will be no road tax and no where to turn to for help.


Please Mr Tan, I would really like to help the drivers but could you point me to the right direction and what to do? On behalf of the drivers - We thank you for your advise and appreciate any help you are able to offer.

I suggest that you write a letter to the newspapers (straits times or zhao bao) to highlight your dilemma. I hope that the public attention will get the authority (i.e. MAS or LTA) to find a solution.
