Singapore has launched Dubbed ChangiAssure that enables short term visitors to purchase COVID-19 insurance that offers up to S$100,000 of hospitalization cover.

Business Times reported on Friday (9 Oct) that the insurance is only available for short term visitors from China, Brunei, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, and South Korea.

The insurance, Dubbed ChangiAssure, is a product underwritten by HL Assurance and distributed by Changi Travel Services.

Travellers can purchase the insurance when they arrived in Singapore or before arrival, and it is offered in two tiers: Basic plan and Superior plan.

The Basic plan provides up to S$8,000 of coverage for hospitalisation or expenses at a quarantine facility, in the event the cover holder is infected with COVID-19 during his or her time in Singapore. This plan is priced at about S$75 for a three-week visit to Singapore.

The Superior plan, which costs about S$331.50, covers for the same purpose but offers up to S$100,000 of coverage. It also covers for accidental hospitalization expenses unrelated to COVID-19, and up to S$200,000 for death and disability in the city-state.

Additionally, the Superior plan also covers travel inconveniences in Singapore such as loss of baggage and personal effects, travel delays and trip curtailment.

Cover holders can submit their insurance claims via online or at physical counters at Singapore’s Changi Airport.

The insurance is not available for travellers above the age of 70 and below the age of three.

提升客工技能 印尼驻新大使推动办编程、咖啡师课程

印尼驻新加坡大使苏瓦查亚(Ngurah Swajaya)指出,住在新加坡的印尼人有约18万人,截至去年12月,新加坡雇用了25万名外籍女佣,而印尼则是主要来源国之一。 苏瓦查亚接受《联合早报》的《大使新任务》专栏采访,指出指责除了保障在新工作的印尼客工权益,也专注“保障以外”(beyond protection)的事项,即提升印尼客工的人力才能。 56岁的苏瓦查亚来自巴厘岛,主修国际法律,是在2016年出任印尼驻新大使,他说,过去两年其同胞在新工作的权益和福利,是他一直重视的领域。 他说, 印尼自1969年,就在本地开设“新加坡印尼学校”(Sekolah Indonesia Singapura)。目前校舍设在实乞纳路,多年来学校一直未印尼籍客工,提供各种培训课程。 在大使苏瓦查亚的推动下,课程种类也与时并进,开始推出顺应数码时代需求的电脑编程课程,还有时下流行的咖啡师培训课。 校内设有开放式大学,让客工能远程学习,考取文凭以提升学历。苏瓦查亚透露,目前已有900人报名,有者已毕业,考得学士、研究生等资历。有者后来也当上了大学教授。 苏瓦查亚称,大使馆是听取了客工的反馈,开办新课程,针对他们的兴趣,寻找好导师。“一些客工上课回国后,甚至当了老板,我们希望继续见证这样的成功故事。”…
