Termination of Living Policy

Dear Mr Tan,
In 1993, I bought the above policy for myself and family members. I believe at that time, you were in charge of NTUC. I read that you have bought the above too but have since redeemed it. Would you be able to share why and should I continue or redeem the policy like you did. I am now 60 years old.

REPLY
My reasons to give up the living policy are:
a) I am now retired and will not suffer any loss of income in the event of disability
b) I expect medical expenses to be covered under my Medishield plan
c) If I have to pay expenses not covered under Medishield, I can pay out of my accumulated savings
d) I do not like the restructuring of bonus introduced by the new management.
