A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

There is no doubt that Syamim’s success is a testament to his hardwork but the heart and sincerity that he puts in his engagement with clients makes it much more meaningful and reassuring, especially given the difficult climate that we live in today.

Sarah (Retail)

I had a great experience with Syamim and felt satisfied with his proposal on the insurance policies. When he came down, he was well prepared with all the paper works. Apart from that he is well versed in his job to make everything easy to understand. The experience was really pleasant as he provides good financial advise before recommending me the different policies.

Brandon (Policy Analyst)

When I first met Syamim, he provided an introductory financial guide for insurance and investment that was relatable to me as a student transitioning to a working adult. The most beneficial part of this meeting was the tailored experience he provides for my unique situation and the advice he gives me based on his experience. He also takes into consideration of changing life plans and adapts his recommendations accordingly. I would definitely recommend others to meet Syamim 👍

Suriani (Nurse) & Nurul (Firefighter)

We were planning for our future and Syamim came rolling. We met and then decided we weren't ready for commitment. Told him maybe in a years time, and he really did come back to us in a year! Super committed lah this guy! At first we thought its solely insurance but after listening to his explanation, we got a better understanding on financial planning and we were sold! Syamim is super patient and meticulous in his work. He provides us with detailed explanations when we are in doubt. Always giving us good recommendations without being pushy. Top 5% service! We would definitely recommend meeting Syamim! It will set you back 30 mins of your time but it is worth a lifetime.

Saliha (Research Asssistant)

I have always wondered about my husband's FP - how involved, efficient and invested he is. My insurance agent was originally a friend, who has left the company and he handed over my policies to his colleague. A significant number of years had passed, yet I have never met my new IA and I did not receive any updates on changes in policies. I decided I would like to meet Syamim to have a 2nd opinion, and I was really glad it happened. He was calm, knowledgeable and patiently refreshed the policies I had back then. Planning for both our short and long term goals was the highlight of the meeting for me. Syamim is someone who makes you feel valuable and empower you with the belief that you are capable of change. He supports you in your retirement goals, without neglecting your current and potential needs for the family. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others! It is always good to have a 2nd opinion, and Syamim will shed light on what is the best comprehensive plan according to your needs and financial capacity.
