Disclaimer: Not all insurance agents act like this, don’t be afraid if one approaches you out of nowhere (kind of like an ambush).


1. Jumping onto and targeting anyone exiting the MRT Stations, you can literally see the crowds of people getting split by them like the Red Sea.

2. Favourite targets: 18-25 years old, especially army boys

3. Hiding their true intentions by asking you help them do a 1 minute survey first

4. If declined, whines and begs you to help meet their quota

5. Complains that they can’t do a survey properly standing up and suggests you to follow her (Most of the time her) to a nearby Macs to sit down
