Currently studying but work part time sometimes. Is it stackable with other term life insurance once I start working full time?

Hi,
You should cancel your DPS as you are using your CPF OA to pay for it.
Why?
You are losing at least 2.5% interest on the CPF OA, that can be used for better things like your future house. You should take a Term Direct Purchase Insurance ("DPI") of the same Sum Assured to cover for the shortfall, since you going to cancel the DPS.

Why?
You will be using cash, which I assume is not earning you more then 2.5% returns. Anyway Term DPI are super cheap, assuming you are 20 year old male non-smoker, you are going to pay only $45 annually for $60K Sum Assured, instead of the increasing premiums like DPS ($36 to $260).

If you mean, can you claim it with other insurance policies, yes you can.
I opted out of DPS because we use OA to pay for it, and my OA is losing 3.5% interest on the monies used to pay the premiums.
I already have my private insurance policies in place so I feel I can save some money there and grow that premiums used instead.
Only consider this after you have adequate coverage in the event of death first. A good figure to have is either 10 X Annual Income or 25 X Annual Expenses as coverage paid out in the event of death, whichever higher.
