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.

Husaini (Civil servant)

I reconnected with Syamim after a few years and as soon as I got to know that he is with Great Eastern, I consulted him on whether he could take over my financial plans and policies. Syamim has profound knowledge and gives sound advice on my financial needs. He has been consistently updating me on my current financial situation and changes to my policies. His advice provides me with the knowledge to decide on the right policies for my family. Syamim constantly sends timely reminders for me to update my policies. He is highly recommended for his professional work ethics and dedication.

Ashik (Engineer)

Unlike the many financial advisors I have had meetings with, Syamim has never been pushy and is genuinely concerned about my financial needs and situation. With his cheerful demeanour, it's always a pleasure to have coffee with him and each time, I walk out having learnt something new. One thing that I admire about him is that he is always a text/phone call away and he attends to your queries immediately. I am actually very touched with his sincerity when he once told me that I wasn’t actually ready to purchase any protection plans yet and advised me to get a stable income first. I would have at least met 5-6 financial advisors before him and all of them were trying to get me to purchase something from them. If you want someone who is honest and transparent, Syamim is the right one!

Nabil (Undergraduate)

Syamim's services was recommended to me by my brother. The portfolio that he manages really amazed me, together with his track record for my family. He’s able to give me an insight of short term and long term plans which I have little to zero knowledge of. It is something that allows me to be more aware of my financial situation and to plan ahead, which I'm grateful for. Syamim is also able to answer my questions with full knowledge and details which I appreciate. When it comes to explaining the policies again as a refresher, he would gladly do so and most importantly he does not pressure me into taking up any policies. I would 100% recommend Syamim to anyone who would like to plan for their life milestones!

Mad (Auxiliary Officer)

Syamim was made known to me by a close friend of mine whom recommended me to see him as I require certain advise because my previous financial advisor does not seem to be helpful. Thus, I decided why not give it a try since its a recommendation from a close friend of mine whom I trust. What was beneficial to me was the different approach Syamim took by going through the extra mile to explain the pros and cons of taking up different insurances and investments, taking his time to clear my doubts. His explanation was very precise and eye opening to me as my perception of financial planning was not what I expected it to be. Syamim was the one and only financial advisor which changed my perception of the typical financial advisor out there who only wants to hit their sales targets. I would highly recommend Syamim to my friends and family members whom is keen to know more about financial planning as I feel that he is one of the most genuine and honest financial advisor that I've known without any doubt.

Irdina (HR Executive)

Syamim takes the time to go through in detail about financial planning & the different types of insurance & investments to ensure that I have a clear understanding about what I am getting myself into. He isn’t your typical financial advisor, he goes the extra mile to help you achieve your financial goals/milestones. He will conduct financial reviews with you to ensure that you’re on the right track. Would highly recommend anyone, especially new hires to get in touch with Syamim to understand the importance of financial planning!
