Investment link health insurance expensive ?

Cicak980 — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 11:22:17 +0800

Hai all,

I am reviewing my finacial status and i have investment link insurance.

It cost rm186 per month. I brought it since 2013 from a relative agent.

My question is it expensive compare to normal medical insurance? A quick google suggests it is good for young people since u can invest with medical coverage at the same time.

I never use it before and my workplace insurance cover pretty much all my medical needs so far.

So, is it worth to keep it? Or replace it with a normal medical insurance?

Good morning,

I bought usb cable from china. Yerterday night i plug in pc to charge phone.

The wireless keyboard was disable when i came back .
Restart pc solve the problem.

Then i try full scan pc. It default to quick scan the first two time. Only the third time i manage to full scan.

No malware .

I read some articles on juice jacking. Essentially hack your phone or pc through usb cable since usb data transfer do not have encryption or security proctection.

Is that a thing? Maybe i was being paranoid.
