Questions and Answers

Portfolio Withdrawal Condition is a clause that gives the right to an insurance company to stop offering the medical portfolio by giving advance written notification to policyholders, if it no longer underwrites this type of product. Any withdrawal of the medical portfolio will need to go through a due process of obtaining Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) approval to ensure that the policyholders' interest is protected. If Portfolio Withdrawal Condition is exercised, policyholders will be notified by company at least 30 days in advance as stipulated in the contract, thereafter company will not renew the medical plan. All benefits under this medical plan will cease to be payable from anniversary date immediately following the expiry of the 30 days advance notice. 

With the removal of this clause, the medical policy shall continue to be renewable on each policy anniversary subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. Apart from that, all other existing benefits enjoyed by the policyholders remain unchanged.
