compulsory? was it tied to the loan of the house?...then it should just be life insurance...no hospitalisation

Sorry Yonglip, forgot to add, it's for mm2 application . I am referring to the question about if we could buy.

I am also one of your kind. Just to keep some inform( thou, I might b the only ignorant one. For the two days I stayed in LF, I uses my iPhone to read n post few messages in thus forum, today got a call from singtel informing me that my bill will b 500 plus fr that two days as I hv no plan (not sure wat plan they r talking about) so beware .

 

[wuqi256]

eh bro..are you able to buy some sort of medical insurance...something like our incomeshield..covering hospitalization.

If they are avail to Singaporeans, it will be quite reassuring..

Our medical insurance in SG is currently covering all the visits to clinic/hospitals here. Even my company covers that and last i checked, my family and myself are definitely Singaporean.

Some hospitals already allow the use of medisave in Malaysia, not only for Johor but even Malacca as well. Seems quite a number of hospitals already allows but not for outpatient.

Aiyo, make sure you turn off data roaming and start using wifi.. If you still want to use iPhone to serve net, get a data bridge alliance package.. But not worth it... Or buy a maxis or any prepaid Internet sim card at $6 per day if you need Internet on your mobile..

"If an insured person requires inpatient hospital treatment resulting from an emergency while overseas, we shall reimburse the actual hospital..."

For sure no issues if your insurance has that clause. Never had any issues claiming insurance back from my company or personal one in Singapore.
On the contrary, the lady processing my claims was so pleased as we saved their company money by doing this in MY.

Hi Linked,

how abt getting mozzi nets? We are using different type of mozzi net for different area. The magnet type for fix location like the door grills and toilet windows.. and we use the corrugated sliding type for access areas, like window, sliding doors and stuff.

Looks very neat, keep the bugs out while still able to enjoy the nice breeze.

Thanks Kennyc will definitely try the magnet type but looking to try out sanur's "solution" as my wife love gardening and my son love playing outdoor.

Thanks arsenal n wuqi, well... A lesson learnt.

Hi just wonder, sultan seems to have a place in all developments ( ???)
And they get rid of it soon. Wonder "how" much do they "pay" for it

Haha Sis I had mentioned on this before but was reminded not to make any comment on it. I tried to delete the post I had wrote but not sure why I can't. If you look back then you know the answer

We frequent this Koh brothers clinic along Nusa Bestari... its normally a bit crowded... but the doctor is a very down to earth and nice guy. He always make a point to explain the sickness and how he will treat you. This is quite a contrast from the SG doctors many of whom lack the personal touch. Generally a less competitive environment => more human touch.

That's really 'Kill people, set fire and pluck people's bone man!'
Nowadays many service providers cap the data roaming charge at $15/day.

serai is lemon grass, you can buy them in bundle from the orang asli, or you can buy them at any of local pasar raya. cut the top green part away, wash the rest wats remaining.

pound and flatten the white stem potion, put it inside the water and boil them for like a hour to get the taste out, u can also add in some ginger as well. when its done, u can add in some sugar according to personal preference. This is bit more troublesome, the easier way is to drink the elder flower mixture.

Hi kennyc, thanks for the info on serai drink and sliding mosquito nets.

Yah that's also why it's mostly the poorer people from poorer countries who are more filial than those from developed countries.
It's sad that as our world is progressing economically, we're experiencing a regression in human values and social ethic.

I better teach my future children to just be contented, live simply, ask for less, give more, cherish family etc instead of pressuring them to be competitive from young with Cambridge English tuition, some increase intelligence course, Piano, Ballet, Math tuition, nian nian kao di yi (year year no. one in class)
But to achieve that, I think I have to start teaching myself to be contented first :p

Bro , need to make appointment ? can we simply drive in there in time of an emergency, even for foreigner like us ?

My experience so far:
1. Service is good but variety of doctors is quite limited;
2. Surgeries are at least 4 times less expensive than similar services in Singapore.
3. Rooms are nice and clean, food for inpatients is reasonably good.
4. Appointment of walk in but waiting time can be quite long for a busy doctor.
5. Walk in patients are welcome while emergency treatment is available 24/7.
