What the release reports
Consultation ran from January to February 2019 on wider mandatory insurance, light-duty income protection and higher compensation limits.
Details and conditions
Proposed maxima were S$225,000 for death, S$289,000 for total incapacity and S$45,000 medical expenses or one year, whichever reached first.
Context and follow-up
Further proposals included default processing, incapacity assessment after six months where appropriate, standard policy terms and insurer processing. These consultation figures preceded final legislation and later limit reviews; the table compares the old and proposed levels.

| Total incapacity | 262,000 | 289,000 |
| Medical | 36,000 | 45,000 |
