You’re a bicycle riding aficionado, a liability-conscious individual, or a house-proud expat with loads of personal belongings. You may travel regularly, for business or pleasure, with valuables such as cameras or computers, a four-figure valued watch or a five-figure valued diamond engagement ring. If you match any of these profiles, you may want to consider a home and contents insurance policy while living and working in Singapore.

Whether you have recently arrived or been living in Singapore for a few years, you know that our island state is renowned as one of the safest places in the world to live. With this safety and the international expats' sense of safekeeping, many expats relax the idea of buying insurance or believe that their company is covering them for everything.  

As expats, living far from home, we are naturally concerned with safety and protection. Fortunately for us, Singapore is known as a capital for quality healthcare. Knowing the costs of care here and being prepared in advance for any accidents, injuries or illness will mean your eyes don’t bulge when you’re handed a five-figure bill.  

British expat, Andrew found himself in a Singaporean private hospital having what looked like a slight infection which resulted in a flare up of unidentifiable blisters on his face, causing his face to swell. After seven days of investigation which involved IV drips, pain killers, swabs and a medical biopsy, the doctors could not identify the condition or diagnose the infection.
