We have come across advertisements like the one above, from insurance or real estate companies in our local tabloids. Usually there is a picture with rows of agents whom are smiling and celebrating their success with the most business and obviously earning a large sum for commission. Visually similar to your annual school yearbook.

Online insurance company DirectAsia.com has done the exact opposite.

 

For its latest advertising campaign, they have featured happy customers, instead of agents in their spoof ads, with the phrase, "Insurance companies today seem to have a lot of happy agents. Quite frankly, we'd rather have happy customers.

But I read in MCF that Directasia is very strict on modifications. Even a simple solar film will revoke, not to mention the standard but still legal stuff done to the intake and exhaust of the car. Can any Directasia folks confirm on this claim?

 

If it's true, smiling now? Yes, smiling after trying to claim? Maybe not...

Hi Pocus, actually we don't revoke someone with simple solar film fitted. We do cover cars that have LTA approved modifications done to them, unlike Aviva. We don't pay for the modified parts in the event of a claim, but we do cover the car and pay for damage to the rest of the car. Of course if a solar film was fitted as standard by a manufacturer then we would cover and pay for that. I hope that helps ...

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Germany is weird, too

    As we've previously established and regularly highlighted, Japan is pretty weird.  And as it turns out, Germany's kinda weird, too:  m2-res_720p.mp4 The above video has been making its rounds on social media, and the simplest description of it is that it's a game where they are trying to cut an object (here, a pretzel) EXACTLY in half. It's pretty amazing that the person actually succeeds, but the fact that this is a game at all (on TV, no less) is fascinating.  Schlag d

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity
