Most medical card will only pay amount equivalent to the cost of getting the same treatment in Malaysia. Example: Breaking a leg in US cost USD10K to treat while in Malaysia cost RM10K for the same treatment. The medical card will only reimburse you RM10K. Some insurance company do sell additional rider to pay in foreign currency (USD10K in this example) but of course you will have to higher premium.

索賠以保單內容為準 客戶不諳英文吃虧

購買了醫藥保險20余年,當兒子患病及申請醫藥保險時,才獲知兒子所患的疾病不在受保的疾病之中。

⊙朱先生說,他在1990年通過一位保險代理,購買一份信托基金和36種疾病的醫藥保險。

他說,當時,保險代理向他們解釋時說,只要是任何疾病,在有關保險下將會全數獲得賠償。

他指出,兒子最近健康出現狀況,到醫院檢查時被驗出肝臟有問題,必須動手術。

他說,他已根據所有程序進行及呈交醫藥報告給保險公司,索取賠償,但保險代理卻推說兒子所患的疾病並不在保單中36種疾病的其中一種,因此他無法索賠。

“當初他又不是這樣說,但如今又說不能賠,又說當初保單之中已有清楚說明,但有關保單是英文的,我們又不諳英語,也不知內容到底寫了些什么。”

他說,由于不滿保險代理和保險公司,他們要採取什么行動,才能追討回公道。

★陳博雄律師

當事人當初所簽署的是一份合約,而且當事人在簽下合約后,也等同接受保單內容,並不能以沒有閱讀或者是不識英文等,作為不知道內容的理由。

不管保險代理當初與當事人有任何口頭的承諾,但最后還是要以文字,即保單內容為準。

在上述情況下,當事人確實處于比較吃虧的情況中,要追究也相當困難。

但由于醫藥保險中,一般人並不懂保單內的疾病名稱。當事人可向相關醫生詢問疾病名稱,以鑒定兒子所患的是否是在36種受保疾病以外的病症。

Hottest Scams In Malaysia

Found this on the Internet

156050_230167417124709_1480548814_n

1) The Cafe Scams – Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner(strange, both in Pandan Indah) – Island Red Cafe collects members RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but what’s the point when they run away ? Stevens Corner, the famous indian coffee shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They collect RM3,000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice fanchisee cafe called StevensTeaGarden. Someone mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join, ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them. Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You never know when they will run away.

2) Sunshine Empire – This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank Building. They also have a showroom office at the ground level in the next building. 2 or 3 months ago, Singapore’s Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the link or google for it.(As expected, they STOPPED paying back members now and all investors LOST their money).

Someone below has put a link to the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to receive their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet.

The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Isn’t this quite strange ? At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company easily and claimed that he was just “employed”. Such trick always happened in scam businesses.

Now, the Company has STOPPED paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep much monies in the bank to be freezed ? They are all transfered away. It’s just an excuses not to pay back to members and members are only paid “e-bonus-points” which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out trom the amount. So victims act like Vampires and “forced” to victimise other victims if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries on…..

3) MOBILWALLET – This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years. Claimed that they tied up with Telekoms, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them. Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.

4) Water businesses – Oxygenated and alkaline water products – Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick. One of the better known Company that sold “oxygen” water is SITO(supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organiszation and claimed Selangor State Government owned some share in it). The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it ? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC ? Latest news is that this SITO Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this Company is owing alot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just refuse to pay them.
(Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a different name, beware !!)
Alkaline Products – Can anyone explain how it can work for the body ? The stomach’s gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that goes through it will not make any difference.

5) Car Fuel Booster – K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the footpatch TAKARA, later the “cock-ring” and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but businese begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.
