Making decisions on property is not trivial, as they often have effects on our quality of life in ways that are not just material but also financial and emotional. Regardless of our experience levels in making decisions on our properties and homes, it helps to have an appreciation of what resources are involved, and how we can be resourceful about them. I hope you find the materials in this issue useful.

Amira (Admin Executive)

I was not sure where to start on financial planning and which insurance to take up as I was under my dad’s insurance and I didn’t have my own insurance. So I decided to engage with Syamim as he’s someone I’m familiar with. You will be able to oversee the plannings that he does in terms of finances and insurance. I am also able to see where and how much funds are allocated to spending and saving, which helps me to keep my budget on track. Most importantly, emergency funds. He always emphasise that it’s important to have emergency funds ready just in case any unfortunate events occur. Syamim was the first advisor that I engaged. He did a customised financial plan for me and introduced me to the types insurance that is suitable for me. He will also review my finances and portfolio every year so that you have an idea what you took up and whether you are on track with your financial plan. I would definitely recommend Syamim as he is comfortable to talk to, not pushy, explains everything in detail and answers any questions that you need clarification to. 👍🏻

Basir (Business Analyst)

I met Syamim through football more than 5 years ago when I was in National Service. Back then, Syamim shared with me the importance of financial planning after I graduated from university. Fast forward to now, as a fresh graduate with very minimal knowledge, I went in for a meet up with him to learn more on the topics of financial planning. Syamim is very knowledgeable in sharing the many aspects of financial planning. When advising on the different policies, he is straight to the point as well as making in simple to understand. What I like the most is how he helps me to plan my finances and budget in an excel file to help me reach my short and long term goal so that I have a good idea on how much I need to save and invest to reach that goal. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim to have a greater understanding on financial planning and how it can help you.

Syahir (Student)

I chose to meet Syamim as he is my family's financial advisor. Before our first meeting, he guaranteed that the meeting would be non-obligatory and he kept his promise. Through meeting him, I feel that learning more about investments and how to grow my money in the long term very useful. I think this is important for young people like myself to learn as we may need cash in the long term. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others. This could be useful for anyone at any age to learn more about how to manage their finances or even grow their money.

Iskandar (Business Owner)

Syamim has been very helpful in helping me manage my finances. Especially as a business owner revenue may not always be fixed. He has given me useful directions and structures so that I am able to mitigate the risks in both my business and personal life. I strongly recommend everyone to meet Syamim as he is someone that is very sincere, helpful and always one call away whenever I need help with my finances.

Rauf (Safety Professional)

I was introduced to Syamim through recommendations from my close relatives, and the fact that he works closely with my family members made the experience feel much more connected and trustworthy. One of the key benefits of working with him is having clear visibility on where I currently stand financially and what areas to focus on for upcoming years. I’m also very impressed by the small but thoughtful touches—such as greeting cards, birthday wishes, and year-end gifts—which show genuine care beyond just the professional relationship. The yearly reviews are especially valuable and something I truly appreciate, as my previous agent did not maintain this level of follow-up after the first year or two. I would definitely recommend Syamim to my family and friends.

Syahril (Undergraduate)

I met Syamim when I was planning for my future and he was the first few advisors that I met with experience. The most beneficial process of the meeting was the planning of my life in stages. He understands my needs and has great attention to detail. Syamim is knowledgeable in his field and would explain things clearly when I am in doubt. He is not pushy and understands my current needs. I would recommend others to meet Syamim even if you are not getting anything, as his advices are very useful when planning for the future.
