Local insurance providers refuse to cover Hong Kong trip cancellations

It's excluded in insurance policies.

NTUC Income revealed that it will no longer cover cancellation of trips to Hong Kong, as the clashes continue between police and pro-democracy protesters in the island.

“In view of the protest in Hong Kong publicised by the mass media and travel advisory by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, certain travel inconvenience benefits such as ‘Cancelling your trip’ and ‘Postponing your trip’ will not be covered if you have activated travel insurance policies for trips to Hong Kong after this event was made known. The protest in Hong Kong is now regarded as a known event and is excluded under our travel insurance policy,” said NTUC income.

On October 1, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned Singaporeans travelling to or residing in Hong Kong to take all necessary precautions for personal safety. Among the precautions included in the MFA’s list is purchasing comprehensive travel and medical insurance.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
