  1. To those who drive there, do you find it difficult to find the place? Went there last weekend to recky-recky. I parked at JP1 carpark and then tried to find my way there. To my astonishment, there is not clear indicator at all at JP1 on how to go to JP2. Only sign I saw was "NTUC Xtra at level 3 JP2" and I was like, "yea, so where the hell is JP2?". Wanted to go to the info counter to ask but there was long queue to redeem free gift. So I didn't bother. Then went up and down at JP1 and still can't find the entance, bo chup, just went to the info counter to ask the staff and then they said it's right infront of the MRT entrance. WTF... Nevermind, so I went over to the entrance and true enough, it's damn obvious to those who come by MRT will definitely not miss the JP2 extension on the left hand side. So, it says 3rd level but there's only 2 level, here the hell is level 3? As it seems, there's only level 1 and then 3. Upon reaching the level of NTUC Xtra, the arrow sign that points to the place is "diagonal" and again I went to the wrong alley on the left. Finally I found that it was on the dark central cave-like entrance and the mart is on the left side. So damn hidden. I swear I'll never go there ever again... So damn pissed off.
  2. hhmmm.. how come nobody post this juicy news on mcf? anyway Mr Tan is an insider to gahmen/glc right? 30 years in NTUC insurance as CEO. some say he have motive, others say he is just taking up justice for peasants. either way, its still better than nothing if he can get elected.. or will he be back in the fold of gahmen?
  3. My car is hit from the rear. Damage assessment claim part of the damage is not caused by the impact. Workshop happily claim $2.3k for just a bumper and hatch door panel repair at their very best interest (Initial quotation is $350 for the bumper when both party agreed on private settlement). Tell me the rest cannot claim, push me to Insurance company. After days of "We will get the claim officer to get back to you", NTUC Income friendly customer officer finally get back to me. The respond was, "... get the workshop to settle the issue" How nice, all just because the damn workshop had already get my dad (who doesn't know anything about the damages, tell him all repairs are done) to sign the discharge voucher, when I refuse to sign the day before as they are unable to provide me with a proper breakdown of the repair. Anyone had been in the same situation before? How you deal with it? LL suck thumb?

  8. NTUC to Enter Massage Business Posted on Sunday, June 25, 2006 Topic: Business by Michael Bloombird Following the recent crackdown on unlicensed massage parlours, NTUC has announced that it will be entering the massage business.
  9. win leow loh!!! http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singapor...nt.jsp?id=12094 Service manager Adrian, 30, saw this advertisement for potato chips at an NTUC FairPrice outlet in Hougang and finds the gap on the model's blouse a bit too wide and inappropriate. He was at the outlet yesterday (Dec 30) and sent this photo in an MMS today. "While queueing up to pay for my groceries at the counter, I chance upon the poster. From far, everything seems normal," Adrian said. "Upon closer observation, I noticed that there's a slight gap on the model's blouse near the bra area. "Question is: Is it an oversight by the designer or just part of marketing to draw more attention to the product?" he asked. "The lobang is not very appropriate. After all, products like these are also bought by young people. Should cover up," he said.

  11. Dear All, I am currently under AXA and for my renewal, NTUC is quoting me a premium that is almost $500 lesser than AXA. In terms of excess, both policies are the same but the main difference (apart from price) is that my AXA policy is under the authorised workshop scheme whereas NTUC allows me to go to "any workshop" (under their Premium Scheme). So on paper, it seems like NTUC is a much better deal but I have some reservations in light of the recent bad press. Any advice from bros and sis out there??
  12. Why didn't they just go to the workshop? THE offer: $2,100. The catch: No further claims. But the settlement sum was much less than the estimated cost of repairs to his car. It seemed like an unfair proposition, so Mr Keith Tan, 22, ignored the letter from insurer NTUC Income. But he thinks others who receive such a letter might not understand the implications of accepting the payment. This means that those who have signed the letter may have to fork out the difference if the repair bill amount is more than what the insurer has offered. NTUC Income explained that it made a direct offer to Mr Tan as he had not indicated his choice of workshop. A spokesman also said that if the amount offered was insufficient, he could have negotiated with the company. But Mr Tan, who works in the marine sales line, decided not to accept the offer and to let his workshop handle the matter instead. Mr Tan was driving from Sengkang towards the Tampines Expressway at about 8am on 3 Aug when he was hit from the back by a Kangoo van. The impact damaged the back and bumper of Mr Tan's silver Toyota Altis and the boot could not be closed. The other driver was insured by NTUC Income. Mr Tan drove to the Independent Damage Assessment Centre (IDAC) at Kaki Bukit immediately after the accident. Those who want to make a claim for their vehicles after an accident have to take them to an IDAC within 24 hours of the accident. Photo/ KELVIN CHNG The IDAC will certify the extent of the damage and photograph the damage but it does not assess the repair cost. Drivers are also asked to sign insurance claims forms there. Mr Tan then took his car to a workshop in Hougang the same day. A third party surveyor went there and estimated the cost of repairs while he was there. Mr Tan left his car at the workshop for three days and was given a replacement car in the meantime. On 11 Sep, he received a letter from NTUC Income asking him to acknowledge payment of $2,100. A discharge voucher was attached, and by signing it, it meant accepting 'full satisfaction liquidation and discharge of all claims'. A confused Mr Tan called the workshop. He said: 'I was surprised when I found out from the workshop that the third party surveyor report showed that the charges incurred could have been more than $3,000.' He was concerned that he would be liable for any difference in costs and that the workshop would ask him to pay the balance. 'I kept wondering why they didn't just go to the workshop? Shouldn't they pay them directly?' said Mr Tan. He ignored the letter and the workshop said it would handle the matter with NTUC Income. One of the supervisors at the workshop told The New Paper it was the first time he had come across such a case. He said he advised Mr Tan not to sign it. Said the supervisor: 'The insurance company should deal with the workshop and not send the letter to the owner. 'If the driver signs the letter and the cost is more than that, he will have to pay the difference.' In the end, the workshop accepted NTUC Income's offer of $2,873. A NTUC Income spokesman said that if Mr Tan felt that the offer was not sufficient, he could have negotiated with the company. She added: 'He should not accept an offer by signing the discharge voucher if he knows that the offered amount is insufficient to compensate him for his loss.' The spokesman said it was the company's practice to attach discharge vouchers with its letters of offer. 'This is to speed up the claim process,' the spokesman added.

  13. Teacher wins appeal against insurer over legal costs By Wong Mun Wai, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 03 October 2007 1351 hrs SINGAPORE: Primary school teacher Jonathan Lock won his legal battle on Wednesday when the Court of Appeal ruled that he does not have to pay legal bills amounting to S$120,000. The Appeal Judges, including Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong, ruled in favour of 35-year-old Mr Lock and ended the legal tussle that spanned over 18 months. CJ Chan described Mr Lock's case as "incredible" and said judges have not seen one "like it in all their years in law". Mr Lock's ordeal started with a motor insurance claim to his insurers, NTUC Income. Last year, the Primary Dispute Resolution Centre (PDRC) at the Subordinate Courts awarded him S$188 and ordered the other vehicle owner to pay S$1,200 in costs. But NTUC Income, which is also the insurer for the other vehicle, appealed and brought the case to the High Court. It claimed the Centre was not a court and its judges did not have the power to issue court orders. In May, a High Court ruling agreed with NTUC Income. Mr Lock appealed and was eventually pulled into a legal tussle. NTUC Income offered to waive the S$45,000 legal bill and even offered S$25,000 as a goodwill gesture on condition that Mr Lock drops his appeal

  16. The following letter is NOT written by me but EXTRACTED from ST forum. I am posting this so that people will think twice about having a business relationship with them. I totally agreed with what Mr How said in his last paragraph. What pissed me off is that this letter to the forum is only available online and not on the printed copies .
  17. WHEN Mr Chiang Soong Chee suffered a stroke, he went from a man capable of lifting drums of paint to someone resigned to signing cheques in the family-run paint store. Click to see larger image He was no longer able to handle his old tasks. Never mind, he thought, he could always rely on his insurance payout. But after making the first five instalment payments, NTUC Income held back on the remaining amount. The insurance company, which is the biggest here with more than 1.8 million policy holders, argued that Mr Chiang was not totally and permanently disabled. And he was able to work, though not at the same job he held previously. Mr Chiang, disagreeing with the insurer, sued for the remaining $90,000. And won. SEVERELY PARALYSED Mr Chiang became severely paralysed in his left limbs after a stroke in 1992. He had bought a life insurance policy in 1988, which said that Income (then NTUC Co-operative Insurance Commonwealth Enterprise) was to pay $150,000 in 10 annual instalments if he became totally and permanently disabled. But after the stroke, Mr Chiang was told by his insurance agent later that year that his disability did not meet Income's criteria. The agent was not named in the court papers. In March 2001, during a chat with friends, Mr Chiang was urged to go ahead and make the claim. He decided to act on their advice and registered his claim. By this time, after nine years of being treated by neurologist Dr Tong Hoo Ing, he was able to walk, albeit with a limp. In August that year, Mr Chiang was examined by Dr Tong and another doctor. Both doctors certified him as totally and permanently disabled. Initially, all went well with his claim. The insurer accepted the doctors' findings and in Sep 2001 told Mr Chiang that it would pay him four annual instalments of $15,000 each. The first payment was made in late 2001. A final instalment of $90,000 would be paid in 2005. Mr Chiang was paid the first $60,000, but things then went awry. Before Income made the final payment in Jan 2005, it asked Dr Tong to clarify Mr Chiang's current condition, which it was entitled to do under the policy. This time, Dr Tong certified that Mr Chiang was not totally and permanently disabled, but maintained that he was unemployable. This was because while Mr Chiang was mobile, he still carried a limp and had poor short-term memory. Income then decided not to pay Mr Chiang the remaining $90,000, saying he was no longer totally and permanently disabled. So Mr Chiang filed a suit. He was awarded judgment last month in the Subordinate Courts by District Judge Lim Wee Ming, who rapped the insurer for its treatment of Mr Chiang. The judge said the insurer could not provide a clause to attract potential customers, only to make it difficult for them to claim the money. Said District Judge Lim: 'Income cannot on one hand have a clause that appears more acceptable to potential customers but when they seek to enforce it, Income be allowed to take advantage of the ambiguity against the customer.' In his affidavit, Mr Chiang said that before the stroke, he handled, stacked, moved and delivered drums and tins of paint. His lawyer argued that because of the stroke, he was no longer able to carry out such work. As a result, his work with his family business is limited to signing cheques and bank documents. Mr Chiang's present role in the family business was minor compared to what he was doing before, and he remained employed only out of his siblings' sympathy. His doctors also testified that Mr Chiang was unable to do manual work. The main issue for the court was the interpretation of the policy, which stated that the disability must be total and permanent such that the insured person is unable to earn a living. In its defence, Income said it had observed a strict interpretation of the policy, which meant that Mr Chiang, even if only signing cheques and bank documents, was gainfully employed. Under a broader interpretation, the court would consider work as that which the insured was doing when he bought the policy. But Income claimed that Mr Chiang would have to show that he could not do any work whatsoever, regardless of his occupation when he bought the policy. The judge disagreed, saying that the phrase 'regardless of the usual occupation of the Life Assured' was not mentioned in the policy. In his judgment, Mr Lim wrote: 'Obviously, such a provision would have made the policy less palatable to potential customers.' The judge also noted that Income's strict interpretation of the policy would then apply only to extreme cases, such as brain damage or vegetable-like existence. And that was not fair. He was satisfied that Mr Chiang qualified for the payout as he could not continue the work he did before the stroke. Mr Chiang declined comment when contacted at his home, but a staff member at his family's shop, Sai Sia Paint, said he still works there. Income's lawyer, Mr Sundararaj Palaniappan of Straits Law Practice LLC, told The New Paper that his client plans to appeal. http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,138844,00.html
