HL Assurance Becomes First in Singapore to Launch Core Travel Insurance Coverage Add-Ons
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 March 2025 - Singaporeans can now travel with greater assurance. HL Assurance announces the launch of three essential travel insurance add-ons, enhancing its comprehensive travel protection suite.
Consisting of pre-existing medical conditions coverage, reduced flight delay payout time, and protection for loss of frequent flyer miles, HL Assurance strengthens its role as a leading voice in travel insurance, becoming the first insurance provider in Singapore to offer this essential combination of travel add-ons.
Addressing the Demand for Adaptive Travel Protection in a Post-Pandemic World
Changi Airport closed 2024 with 67.7 million passenger movements, nearing a full recovery from 2019 records. With travel resuming to pre-pandemic levels, unexpected flight delays, medical issues, and trip disruptions remain a concern. Notably, flight delays impacted 37 per cent of flights worldwide.
Moving away from a one-size-fits-all model, travellers now seek faster claims processing, flexible coverage, and relevant protection. Rising concerns include coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and protection for travel rewards.
"We believe that insurance should evolve with the needs of today's travellers," said HL Assurance CEO Kelvin Lim. "Our new travel add-ons are designed to address real concerns—whether it's ensuring pre-existing medical conditions are covered, allowing earlier claims for flight delays, or protecting valuable travel rewards."
How the New Add-Ons Work
The "Pre-existing medical conditions" add-on provides expanded protection for travellers with ongoing health issues, while the "Reduced flight delay payout time" add-on allows claims after just three hours of delay, down from the standard six.
Lastly, the "Loss of frequent flyer miles" add-on safeguards valuable travel rewards, ensuring that frequent flyers don't lose accumulated miles due to cancellations.
Special Launch Benefits for Travelers
As part of the launch of these enhanced travel protection options, HL Assurance is offering travellers a series of exclusive benefits to provide added security on their journeys.
For a limited period, single-trip plans will be available at a reduced rate (up to 55 per cent), and returning customers can enjoy reduced premiums on future plans through their No Claim Discount (NCD) benefit.
Furthermore, travellers who purchase their Travel Protect360 plans from now until June 2025 may stand a chance to win complimentary flight tickets to a dream vacation of their choice.
Kelvin Lim believes that a customer-first approach has allowed them to address long-standing customer concerns. "This is part of our commitment to transforming the travel insurance experience—making it more flexible, relevant, and seamless for every journey," said Lim.
HL Assurance's new travel insurance add-ons will be available from 13 March 2025, as part of their Travel Protect360 plans. Visit the HL Assurance website or contact your authorised agent for a consultation.

Wishpro Launches Advanced Magnetic Infusion Technology for Smarter Skin Management
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 July 2025 – Wishpro uses patented Magnetic Infusion Technology (MIT) to support deeper delivery of oil-based active ingredients. Designed to nourish without clogging pores, it helps reinforce the skin barrier and retain moisture—especially beneficial in humid climates. Unlike many devices that rely on water-based formulas, Wishpro focuses on oil-based actives for targeted, lasting results. The Future of Skin Health, Powered by Magnetic Infusion At the heart of Wishpro is a revolutionary technology: Magnetic Infusion Technology (MIT). Unlike surface-level creams and serums, Wishpro uses electromagnetic pulses to gently open microchannels in the skin, allowing highly active ingredients to reach deeper layers, where real change happens. ADVERTISEMENT Paired with precision-formulated, single-use capsules, this synergy of technology and formulation delivers non-invasive, high-performance, clinically proven skin management. Wishpro delivers dermatologist-trusted results through four interchangeable treatment heads—Red Light, Blue Light, Microcurrent, and Exfoliation. Renowned Japanese aesthetic physician Dr. Yoshiomi Mori says: 'I was truly surprised by Wishpro's ability to activate red blood cells, something I've never seen from any other beauty device.' Watch the testimonial here: This red blood cell activation supercharges the skin's ability to heal, regenerate, and absorb nutrients. Targeted Serum Capsules, Powered by Science Wishpro offers a suite of 13 RFID-enabled serum capsules, each formulated to treat specific concerns—from dullness and hyperpigmentation to acne, sensitivity, and visible aging. Each capsule is clinically formulated, hygienically sealed, and designed for maximum absorption through Wishpro's infusion technology. Many have been clinically proven to deliver visible, measurable results. Key highlights include: β-White (Brightening Capsule): Clinically shown to reduce melanin by 79%, with a 30% reduction in dark spots within 56 days. Biogomm'age (Peel Exfoliator Capsule): Clinically proven biodegradable scrub tech with Vitamin B5 + E, delivering softer, smoother skin with minimal irritation. Neodermyl® (Neo Energy Capsule): Clinically proven to increase collagen density (7.6x), improve firmness (13x), and reduce wrinkles (15%).

Its name reflects a commitment to professional standards and thoughtful innovation in everyday skin management.

WATCH: View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) Virat Kohli said: 'This campaign really brought out a different side of Dubai for us. Whether it was relaxing at Tapasakeat One&Only One Za'abeel – home to the UAE's longest sky infinity pool – or letting loose at the iconic O Beach, it reminded us how Dubai always delivers something unexpected. It's a place that evolves with you. That's what keeps us coming back." Anushka Sharma added: 'Dubai has always been special, but working on this campaign made it feel personal in a new way. From quiet, meaningful moments to spontaneous discoveries, it wasn't about ticking boxes — it was about making memories. There's a warmth and ease to the city that instantly puts you at peace, while still offering new experiences every time." Whether it's the adrenaline or the quiet calm, 'Ready For A Surprise' invites viewers to see the city the way Virat and Anushka do — full of wonder, and warmth. Issam Kazim, CEO of the Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Visit Dubai), added: 'This collaboration with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma is a natural fit — their genuine affection for Dubai and the way they engage with audiences make them ideal champions for the city." He adds, "India remains one of our most important source markets, and partnerships like these help us foster meaningful cultural connections, inviting Indian travellers to explore and rediscover Dubai in new and exciting ways.' However, this is just the beginning. There's many more unexpected moments and quirky surprises, set to come our way over the coming weeks. So, all the Virushka fans, keep an eye out!
