my comments:

it's good news because tokio marine life insurance singapore has opened their gates to accept life insurance applications from myanmar nationals who are singapore prs or holding a valid employment pass.

i suppose with the country's reforms and sanctions being gradually lifted, tokio marine life insurance singapore is one of the first insurers to accept business from myanmar nationals. and i reckon more insurers may do the same.
