Ask any insurance agents about lies. Lies still work to sell anything, any policy, any product.
Today selling is the same as lying and perhaps the two words can be used interchangeabily one day.
You can see LIES at work anywhere, in every sphere of human activities.
Lies most used 'profession' is the life insurance and the only route and key to financial success.

someone is trying very hard to remove all your legacies in the ntuc. Soon you shall see radical changes, from logo to the staff.He is trying to outdo you by posting fake means like increased revenue and market share.All these can be dressed up but the underlying cannot bluff. The new logo may deceive a few the name cannot be changed . We all know that NTUC INCOME is synonymous with Tan Kin Lian and the broom , no matter how hard it tries to sweep cannot emulate your feat. As you can see shameless people would stoop to anything, eg by using your past enviable rate of return and claim as theirs achievement is misleading and deception. We all know this rate of return is your legacy and they cannot bluff. Their switch to commercial operation will be their undoing; August 15, 2009 12:33 PM

New CEO take over, ex Traditional CEO just fade away. But ex-CEO now found a even more worthy cause. Helping the heartlanders victimize by other CEOs. Follow your heart and you will be greatly rewarded.

His needs are protection and return.Any change must involve the INCREASE in the value of these 2 elements. The problem with the new ceo is he looks at the change in the forms at the expense of value. Worse he hides the value with a lot of rubbish and sell the rubbish. The rubbish becomes the selling points.
Just like you work for money yesterday will you today accept same amount plus some dubious intangible life style craps and say that your quality of life has improved? This ceo is trying to hoodwink you into believing that the new products are when overall protection is lower, more expensive and the return is miserable and keeps using Mr. TanKL's rate of return to buulshit the consumers that it can achieve like in the past.
The differnce between the past and present is the protection is gettin more expesnsive and the return is getting lower and getting riskier.
The difference is the past was down right plain vanilla, basic but now the present is downright dishonest, dubious, not truthful, not transparent and deceitful.
Changing to new clothing doen't mean it is for the better. It is deception. It is a new wrapper to hide something and many of the products testify to it. Beware of the wolf in new clothing.; August 15, 2009 6:05 PM

So ntuc is undergoing an extreme makeover. For it to achieve is to replace every staff and whihc it has been doing. The new senior management is made up of pru, the old wine transferred into this 'new' bottle. What about the salepeople? complete overhual? it is tough unless completely replaced by new young, more edcated who have tertiary professional qualifications in financial planning, investment and adopt new approaches to customers' needs. Changing the old existing agents is like teaching old dogs and bitches new tricks if not they will remain drug pushers and product peddlers. A new image can be at best a new facade, a new logo, a new building, a new ceo, but unfortunately the old dogs get a new kennel only.He can try to bullshit himself, trying to outdo the old ceo , he can only achieve with dubious and deceitful results.; August 15, 2009 6:27 PM
Anonymous said...: Many investemnt funds changed name to appear new. More correctly to cheat investors. This is a simple trickery used a gain and again and it works .
Like ntuc income it is changing its corporate image with new logo and colors AND its motives are no different from the funds . It is just the name and cover. Have you heard of the adage, 'don't judge a book by the cover". i would prefer " don't be fooled or conned by the cover.
Their insurance agents are still the same product pushers who push for high commission. You think they now push for consumers' interest. Even they want they are NOT qualified. They are like old crooked trees hard to be straightened or old dogs which can't learn new tricks.
Changing the cover is deceitful when they know below it is still the same.Consumers must be awaRE.; August 15, 2009 9:57 PM
