The Hong Kong Insurance Authority has banned Lim Ka Kit from acting as an insurance intermediary for nine months over misconduct in selling medical insurance by telephone. Lim was formerly a technical representative (agent) of an authorized institution. The disciplinary action was taken jointly with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
An HKMA investigation found that Lim pressured eight clients into acquiring medical insurance despite their requests for time to consider. On two occasions, he induced clients to alter their height and weight information to meet the relevant underwriting requirements.
