Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 1: Rachel Ong on insurance for persons with disabilities
As Singapore moves towards a more inclusive society, families also need assurance that access to protection is fair. However, families still report exclusions, higher premiums or rejection when adults with developmental conditions apply for life or critical illness insurance, said MP Rachel Ong in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 26). She wanted to know whether the government will work with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and insurers to track anonymised data on disability-related rejections and exclusions. She also asked if there will be an independent and accessible channel for families who believe that decisions made are unfair.
