Should I consider the AIA Triple Critical Coverage plan as a insurance cum investment with returns of 4% pa?

In my bid to check out the most worthy insurance to get from AIA (and actually to better insure myself since I don't have my own term insurance) I came across this article.

What do you think; is the AIA triple critical coverage a good term insurance to consider since the author idea is that you are "investing" at 4% returns although it's till the age of 75 before you can get back the returns for retirement purposes and at same time you are insured against critical illnesses?

And if I die, the $5000 compassionate bonus could go to my funeral costs + my kins would get the sum assured?

What gives you the idea that AIA Triple Critical Coverage Plan is a insurance cum investment?

To be clear, let me go through the following:

1) Triple Critical Cover is a extended non-participating life plan which payouts up to 3 times the insured amount.

2) However the premiums are about 2-2.5 times (depnding on it being value plan or max plan)

3) If we counted the time value of money, you will lose about 33% to 45% of future value, worse if you wait until it matures

4) The best time to surrender/mature for Max Plan is at age 75 (where you get back 75% of insured amount)

Based on your age, for max coverage of $800,000, the premium should be near $15,000 a year for a Max plan. That translate to about 1.87% of coverage.

You may wish to calculate whether self-insure or multi-pay CI is your cup of tea.
