-Medical and Health Insurance
The most basic insurance that covers you in the event of illness or injury due to an accident or illness. This is especially useful where it helps to pay off your medical expenses and if necessary, hospitalisation cost which could be quite burdened if you do not have enough fund readily available. It is the most essential insurance for people to have and there are numerous types of medical and health insurance covers offered in Malaysia which includes medical card, critical illness plan and hospital income insurance. Medical card provides medical coverage for any expenses incurred during hospitalisation due to illness, accident and injury. Critical illness plan entitles you a lump sum of cash upon diagnosis of any critical illness like heart attack, cancer, paralysis, Alzheimer, Parkinson’s etc. Hospital income insurance pays out an agreed amount of money to you when you are hospitalized.

-General Insurance
General Insurance includes motor insurance, travel insurance and personal accident. Motor insurance protects you financially from road accidents involving vehicles.Moreover, you could also add on to purchase theft, fire or own damage protection that will protect the value of your car. Travel insurance, on the other hand, protects you from risks such as travel cancellation, flight delays, medical emergencies, lost and delay of baggage, loss of passport etc. Personal accident insurance pays you a fixed amount of money if you suffer partial or permanent injury, disability or death due to an accident.

-Life Insurance
Life insurance pays out a sum of money to the beneficiaries upon the death or permanent disability of the person insured. It is divided into whole life and term life insurance where the difference is the period covered (upon maturity age is reached for whole life and death for term life). Another stark difference is the whole life contains savings benefits while term life does not.
