Great Eastern backs Singapore government’s pre-planning advocacy

Nine in 10 Singaporeans view planning for end-of-life matters as a necessity.

Great Eastern has joined the Pre-Planning Campaign of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social and Family Development and the Public Service Division, becoming the first insurer to do so.

As a partner of the initiative, Great Eastern will drive pre-planning through MyLegacy@LifeSG (MyLegacy), the integrated digital platform for Singaporeans to plan for end-of-life matters.

MyLegacy offers services such as Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), Advance Medical Directive (AMD) and Advance Care Planning (ACP).

The insurer said LPA is an important document for taking ownership of pre-planning for old age, whilst ACP can help individuals communicate to their loved ones and healthcare team about their personal beliefs, values and how they wish to be cared for.

To promote the government initiative, Great Eastern will offer complimentary certification clinics to help Singaporeans with their LPA and AMD applications through selected Great Eastern Financial Representatives. 

Application fees payable to MSF is waived by MSF for Singaporeans till 31 March 2026. Certification fees payable to certificate issuers (for e.g. doctors or lawyers) is waived through Great Eastern program.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
