A video about the new health insurance scheme MediShield Life targeted at the pioneer generation has hit just the right notes.
Uploaded on YouTube and Facebook by gov.sg last Monday, it features local getai artists Wang Lei and Liu Ling Ling playing the characters of Monkey King and Spider Spirit, respectively, from the classic 16th-century Chinese novel Journey To The West.

The Journey (English Translation)
Little umbrella, little umbrella
You are a little umbrella
With the Pioneer Generation Package accompanying me
And MediShield Life protecting me
I can live happily with no worries
You are a little umbrella
By my side, taking care of me
Accompanied by the Pioneer Generation Package
PG Card in my hand
I get subsidies when seeing the doctor
You are my little umbrella
I’m not afraid of hospitalisation
With MediShield Life helping me
Because I pay insurance premiums
Staying in hospital is cheaper
Insurance is like a little umbrella
Accompanying me my whole life
Regardless of your age
Or whether you have pre-existing conditions
MediShield Life will accompany you till you are old
Insurance is like a little umbrella
Pioneers have insurance
Whether you need to stay in hospital
Or require surgery
Your bills will be reduced
MediShield Life protecting me
The Pioneer Generation Package accompanying me
I have good health and spirits
When I have to stay in hospital
There is MediShield Life
I can live happily
With my PG Card
Taking care of me for life
Accompanying me till I am old
PG Card

The idea of using Journey To The West came about when brainstorming for a concept that would connect with the pioneer generation. It will also coincide with the upcoming getai show season.
The lyrics in the Government- commissioned video goes: "I'm not afraid of hospitalisation; With MediShield Life helping me. Because I pay insurance premiums; Staying in hospital is cheaper."

Premium subsidies for MediShield Life are part of the Pioneer Generation Package, introduced by the Government to honour and thank those who have put in effort to build Singapore. The package also includes Medisave top-ups and subsidies at various clinics.
Singaporean film director Royston Tan, who was behind the video, urged the actors to use their imagination as they performed in front of a green screen - which was later superimposed with images of them in the sky.

"I was telling them: Right now, you're flying past a mountain, there's thunder, and there are soldiers coming," he said.
A Ministry of Communications and Information spokesman said: "This is the first time we are using a folk tale to explain a government policy, as many pioneers would be familiar with Journey To The West."
