The airline always proposes me a travel-specific insurance whenever I buy a ticket, and for 1 week stay in another country outside Europe the fee usually approaches 100 EUR. For 10 trip in one year, I would pay something like 1000 EUR should I pay separate insurances per each trip.
The one that i have shown is from Aviva in Singapore.

Lots of Singaporean use them or i should say, basically ALL Singaporean who are CPF (Central Provident Fund) member uses them. And CPF is like a national fund thing where all working Singaporean needs to contribute a certain percentage into it. And this fund company uses Aviva to insure their members for most medical needs until technically the day they passes on.

Since i mainly traveled to Batam; Malaysia and Japan only occasionally,and since they are all within ASEAN, hence the lower in price. I am prepared to take the S$183 plan for the 1st 10 years and on later years when i am more physically in Batam then i will consider the S$356 plan.

Its really not that expensive for a helicopter tour (i believe). In Bintan, i was told it cost between 1 juta to 1.5 juta per pax.

I read on some Batam expats forum/s, medical helicopter is entirely different from a touring helicopter. A touring helicopter rental from Singapore to Batam cost between S$2k to S$3k (2-way trip taking around 15mins) but medical helicopter can cost up to S$8k per trip. The saying was, they factor in all the medical equipment onto the chopper as well as their qualified medical team on it, blah blah blah...

The nearest helicopter landing area in Batam is in Hang Nadim airport, which is why i am so glad now that there is one just on top of Formosa Residence. A location i frequent often,hehehe....
