Inflated Third Party Claims

Dear Mr. Tan,
In April 2002, we received a letter from a lawyer asking my insurance company to pay $4,900 as my husband's car hit a taxi. Later, the sum escalated to $5,400. It was settled by the insurance company. I still could not believe that a small damage could cost so much money. Since then, I greatly feel that Singapore system had not been fair. Now, I read about more inflation claims. Isn't it ridiculous?

REPLY
I agree with you. I suspect that there must be at least 10,000 claims of this nature each year in Singapore. I hope that the public can write to the papers to complained about it Maybe, if there is protests, then the Government will act.

Confidence, Trust, Hope

One day, the villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, everyone gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella. That's CONFIDENCE.

When you throw a 1 year old baby in the air, he laughs because he knows you will catch him. That's TRUST.

Every night we go to bed, we're not sure that we'll get up tomorrow, but we still have many plans for the coming day. That's HOPE.

Have confidence, trust in God and never lose hope.
