the company launched regular premium sail, a participating regular premium endowment plan which complements the existing one. also known as sail which is currently available, but the latter is a participating single premium endowment product. the ceo of ntuc-income, mr tan sueh chieh was present to grace the occasion and emphasised to us yet again, that his role was never in maximising profits for the insurance co-operative. but amazingly, the company has gone from strength to strength with profits coming in at just slightly over $22 million in 2007 and nearly $160 million in 2010.
