The Triple Indemnity Benefit is payable for Accidental Death or Permanent Total Disablement arising out of an accident involving you whilst you are driving or travelling as a passenger during festive seasons.

You can purchase the Optional Benefits once you have purchased the Core Benefits.

Yes.

No, as long as you have purchased a Core Benefit Plan, you are entitled to purchase one or both Optional Benefits.

If during the accident you were not driving or riding as a passenger in the vehicle, they will not be covered, regardless of who owns the vehicle.
EXAMPLE:
You have just returned from a business trip and have called your son to fetch you from the airport. Unfortunately, on the way to the airport, your son who was driving your vehicle with your wife as the passenger met with an accident. Although the vehicle involved in the accident is owned by you and you have authorised your son to drive, there will be no compensation for your son or your wife because you were not in the car when the accident happened.

Nomination ensures that your loved ones receive the protection you intended and allows insurers to pay out policy moneys without delay.

If no nomination is made, the policy moneys will be paid to:

• your lawful executor (if you have a Will), or
• your lawful administrator (if no Will has been made).

This process may take time.

If there is no lawful executor or administrator, policy moneys will be paid to the rightful recipients in accordance with applicable distribution laws.

You may nominate any individual(s). However, not all nominations allow the nominee(s) to receive the policy moneys for their own use.

The outcome of a nomination depends on:

• your marital status;
• who you nominate; and
• whether you are a Muslim or non-Muslim policy owner.

For non-Muslim policy owners, nominations may result in either:

• a trust policy, or
• a non-trust policy.

To ensure your nominee(s) receive the policy moneys beneficially, a trust policy must be created.

A trust policy is created when:

• the nominee is your spouse or child; or
• the nominee is your parent, provided there is no living spouse or child at the time of nomination.

If you nominate individuals other than your spouse, children, or parents, a non-trust policy is created.

In this case, the nominee(s) will receive the policy moneys as executor only and must distribute them according to:

• your Will, or
• applicable distribution laws if there is no Will.

If you intend for such nominee(s) to receive the policy moneys for their own use, you must assign the policy benefits to them.

In short, if you nominate persons other than your spouse, children, or parents, consider assigning the policy benefits to avoid unintended outcomes. Please contact MSIG for further assistance.

For Muslim policy owners, nominee(s), regardless of their relationship to the Insured Person, may only receive the policy moneys as executor.

The policy moneys must be distributed in accordance with Islamic laws.
