Dira (Retail) & Syazwan (Civil Servant)

Syamim has helped us plan our finances, which has been very useful, especially after having our newborn daughter. Prior to planning to have a child, Syamim made the effort to explain how having a child will change our financial situation significantly. With that, he gave tips and advices which made us confident that we could go ahead and plan to start a family. Syamim has been very thorough with his explanation on the policies & he understood the needs that we were looking for. I would definitely recommend these meetings to others!

Xuan Ming (Sales Executive)

I chose to meet Syamim because I wanted to gain a clearer understanding of my insurance options and how they fit into my overall financial plans. I felt it was essential to discuss my specific needs and goals. Having a one-on-one conversation with a professional like Syamim allows for personalized guidance, which I believe is crucial. He has been highly recommended by our peers. The most beneficial part of the meeting was the detailed explanation of different financial products and how they would impact my financial security. For someone my age, understanding the implications of life and health insurance is vital. Syamim's ability to clarify complex terms and provide real-life examples helped me make informed decisions. I would absolutely recommend this meeting to others. It’s crucial for anyone, especially those in my age group, to understand the importance of having proper insurance coverage & financial planning. This meeting not only provided valuable insights but also empowered me to make more informed decisions about my financial future. I believe everyone can benefit from a similar discussion, as it can help prevent potential financial hardships down the line.

Asri (Engineer)

I got to know Syamim through my wife and was immediately impressed by how well he managed her finances. I’ve worked with two other insurance agents before — both of whom were my friends — but none provided the same level of care and expertise as Syamim. He’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to financial planning and takes a detailed, structured approach in helping us plan for both short-term and long-term goals. What I really appreciate is that he takes the guesswork out of the equation and honestly makes managing our finances a lot less stressful. Syamim keeps us in check, helps us stay financially aware, and makes sure our plans actually fit our lifestyle, budget, and goals. He’s not the type to shove an insurance plan down your throat — he genuinely wants to see you achieve financial balance and peace of mind. Honestly, I can’t recommend him enough. If you’ve been putting off sorting out your finances, what are you waiting for? Go talk to Syamim — you’ll thank me later!

Syafiq (Undergraduate)

My search for a financial advisor (FA) took almost a year. I was finding a financial advisor that was not only meticulous and effective but also down to earth. Syamim was a perfect fit and I never regretted taking up his services ever since then. Syamim knows what is best for his clients and ensures that his client’s expectations are met., Personal finance budget and goal setting was the most beneficial part of the meeting. Syamim analysed and took into consideration all of my finances. Documents were setup for a better visualisation of the plans. This allowed me to have a better understanding of my finances. As a student, there were limitations to the planning, but we managed to come up with a student friendly plan. All of the goals were revisited each year to ensure that I was on track. He was never shy of sharing any financial advice that would help me achieve my goals and also to improve my spending habits. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.

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!

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.
