MY COMMENTS
This is a useful website. At shows the comparable quotes from different life insurance companies. I looked at the quotes for the following:

Lowest monthly premium for non-smokers

Age
Male
Female
30
$30
$25
40
$36
$29
50
$86
$62

The website shows the quotes from more than 10 life insurance companies. The lowest quotes are shown above. They are indicated as “estimated” and “subject to confirmation.  The premium rates are comparable to Singapore. 
Note: some insurers have lower premiums at the younger ages and higher premium at the older ages. So, you will not be able to enjoy the lowest premiums shown above. You should allow for the cost to be 10% to 20% higher than the above rates.
