As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives. | How to Stop Worrying What Other People Think of You If you find yourself looking over your shoulder, self-conscious, or fretful about how your actions will look to others, here’s some help to stop worrying. | The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health ‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges. How can you change your habits? | A Reason Not to Worry What Others Think We spend a little too much time worrying about how we must appear in the minds of others. However, the poignant, useful truth is that almost everyone doesn’t care at all about who we are, what we’re doing and how we’ve messed up. | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones. Let me know if I can be of help to someone you know or care about. We can make a difference to lives when it matters most.

Not only does Syamim guide me on getting the important, and necessary insurance and saving plans, he went above and beyond and assisted me to plan my important milestones such as marriage, family, housing and retirement plans. He is very knowledgeable with regards to insurance, investments and financial management to name a few, and it is clear to me that helping his clients with getting the right policies and financial planning is his passion.
I had a different Financial Advisor previously before I met Syamim, and I can confidently say that Syamim is not your average advisor. He is very genuine with his work, and his advice, and he periodically checks up on your financial progress. I feel very comfortable meeting up with him for these sessions as he does not poach me into signing up for any upgrades or plans that I don’t need. In fact, he even encouraged me to only sign up when I feel financially comfortable to do so.
With that, I fully recommend Syamim as your financial advisor. His sincerity to help, and his knowledge of the industry and lifestyle makes him one of the best financial advisors out there. | | | Kashif (Teacher) & Salwa (IT Operations) We knew Syamim to be very genuine, easy-going, and kind, which were attributes we were eagerly looking for in our Financial Advisor. Word of mouth through friends also revealed that he was exceptionally knowledgeable and wise regarding finance. So far in our experience with Syamim after working with him for more than a year, he has shown to have exceeded the very high hopes we had for him.
Syamim has helped us understand finance and investments through very clear and concise explanations that help us to make much more informed decisions. He also has made very elaborate financial plans curated carefully for our own specific needs and financial situations. The care and thought he has put into planning our finance truly make us feel as though we are his only clients even though he has to handle a seemingly overwhelming number of financial portfolios and clients. His financial plans for us are very clear and manageable to execute. This helps us easily navigate the year with clear goals and methods he has taught us, to ensure financial comfort and security.
An aspect we deeply appreciate too is that Syamim is never pushy or forceful of anything. He gives us the plain facts and allows us to pursue the insurance plans we desire. While other financial advisors may be persistent with trying to sell you a variety of insurance plans over time for their personal benefit, Syamim has never once tried to sell us anything more than the basic necessary plans we needed.
His good character, extensive wisdom and knowledge in finance, and being someone who genuinely only desires the best for his clients, makes Syamim an absolutely must recommend for anyone looking to navigate the harsh world of financial planning. He will make the seemingly daunting experience of planning for your future, a simple and smooth one.
| | | Fazil (Teacher) I appreciate Syamim's holistic way of doing financial planning. With his help, I have benefitted in learning on how crucial financial planning is to our lives, both current and for the future.
Syamim is someone whom I will surely recommend to others who will greatly benefit by his friendly and assuring disposition. He is very approachable and provides excellent advice in his financial planning sessions. | | | Adeline (Product Manager) & Sin Wee (Biz Owner) I knew Syamim through a friend of mine! He has been helpful in giving me and my fiancé his expertise and helping us to plan our overall finances, cash flow and our different life goals.
Unlike other advisors, he is a humble guy and will use data to help us gain confidence in planning for our financial milestones. He will prepare all the necessary PowerPoint and explain to us patiently . He is also very knowledgeable and experienced, which made me and my fiancé trust him.
I would recommend him to others if they want to start their finances right. | | | Zul (Civil Servant) The most beneficial part of meeting Syamim is that he helped me calculate my cash flow clearly and gave advise from there on what are the actionable steps to take, including general tips such as ways to reduce expenses.
I recommend this meeting to others as Syamim always has a personalised content to share with me. He always ask if I'm comfortable with a certain recommendation and gives alternatives if he sees me having a difficult time in making a decision. All in all, there is an element of legitimate care and concern abt my wellbeing and what the future holds for me shown by Syamim. | | | Raihan (Civil servant) & Sonia (Teacher) We were looking for an financial advisor and got to know Syamim through a family member.
The most beneficial part of the meeting is that Syamim is very transparent and he encourages you to select what is best for you at your current life stage. As for us, we met him when we were about to get married and he explained about the financial plans that’ll benefit us both in the future.
We would recommend others to meet Syamim is warm & kind. He respects your space but is genuine in getting to know you at a personal level. | | | | |
