Written reply to Parliamentary Question on investment-linked policy disclosures and welcome bonuses
Why this matters
This is an official written answer by a named minister (Gan Kim Yong, as MAS Chairman) to a parliamentary question, so it is classified as a speech. It addresses investment-linked policy (ILP) sales, including promotional welcome bonuses, surrender charges and disclosure. It points to existing requirements under the Guidelines on Fair Dealing and policy illustrations, and says MAS will introduce a Product Highlights Sheet for ILPs with details to follow. Because no date or binding rule text is given, urgency is null, and the significance score reflects a noteworthy concrete signal rather than a new requirement. Insurance and banks are tagged because they distribute ILPs, and the text does not support narrower firm categories.
