Hafiz (Lawyer)

Syamim and I attended the same Junior College and we developed a personal friendship ever since then. As such, it was easy to consider him to be my financial planner of choice, as I trusted him and his sound judgement. Syamim has never failed to take care of me and my family’s needs in relation to the policies that we acquired and has always been proactive in ensuring that we receive the highest standard of service. Syamim has a knack of clarifying whatever queries both me and my family have in the clearest and most efficient way possible, and having him as my agent has been nothing short of a good experience. As such, I would highly recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking to have their finances advised on or planned for. You will not find a higher standard of service elsewhere.

Zaki (Supply Chain)

I met Syamim because he is a close friend of mine and I knew from our relationship that he was someone professional and trustworthy. Any communication with him regarding any topic was very easy and fast. Upon meeting him, he made me realise the importance of insurance to protect my income and health in the event of any health issues. Most importantly, the financial plan that he crafted for me made me become more disciplined in my savings which allowed me to reach my financial goals faster such as planning for my marriage. I would highly recommend anyone to meet Syamim so that he can share with you the importance of financial planning as well as create a step by step plan to achieve your financial goals.

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.

Aameena

I recently had the pleasure of working with Syamim from Great Eastern for my insurance needs, and I must say that my experience was exceptionally positive. Syamim demonstrated a high level of professionalism and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. He was prompt in responding to my inquiries, addressing my concerns, and guiding me through the complexities of various insurance policies. What sets Syamim apart is his in-depth knowledge. He took the time to thoroughly explain the available options, helping me understand the intricacies of each policy. His expertise made it easier for me to make informed decisions that align with my specific needs. Communication was generally clear and concise. I appreciated Syamim's commitment to tailoring a policy that fits my unique requirements. He took the time to assess my situation and customize a plan that not only provides comprehensive coverage but also fits within my budget. Working with Syamim was a refreshing experience in an industry that can sometimes be overwhelming. His dedication to customer satisfaction, coupled with his knowledge and professionalism, makes him a reliable choice for anyone seeking insurance solutions. I highly recommend Syamim to anyone in search of a trustworthy and competent insurance agent. His commitment to excellence is evident, and I feel confident knowing that my insurance needs are in capable hands.

Khairuddin (Engineer)

Syamim sets realistic targets for myself and others who I know based on our current financial status. He is not afraid to be upfront about things which he considers important for my financial well being. Always sincere and eloquent, he explains the different financial plans in a clear and concise manner. He also sets a good example for his clients and is transparent regarding all things money-related. Extroverted and approachable, I am not afraid to raise my concerns to him and he will address it objectively. One particular thing I can takeaway from him is that you do not have to be book smart to be financially smart, you just have to be prudent and realistic. My experience with him has been nothing but pleasant and I will learn new things every time we meet. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn the ropes of good personal finance management to approach Syamim!

Firah (Investor Relations)

Syamim helped me sort out my finances and created a monthly financial plan I could follow. This has been very helpful for me in keeping my finances in check. I now understand that personal finance does not mean to just work and save up money in the bank. We will never have enough savings to cover our daily expenses if we fall sick one day hence the need to protect our income. Wealth accumulation starts with investing on assets over a long period of time. Putting this amount of money in a bank would be meaningless if you compare the interest earned from the bank vs inflation. This experience was insightful and I finally understand the importance of financial planning. From my experience, other advisors did not explain it clearly enough for me as he did. I would definitely recommend this meeting to my close friends and family.
