In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together!

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

Syila (Marketing Exec) & Faiz (Operations)

We got to know Syamim through our brother, which he happens to be close with our good friends/ neighbours. This made us clicked so easily. Syamim was very easy-going and it is very comfortable to talk to him on regards to any financial matters. Syamim needless to say is very knowledgeable and well equipped with all the needed skills which helps us to understand in depth on the insurance we are signing up for in comparison with the other agents we have been with before. At the same time, he helps us keep track of our financial commitments and savings. This is very beneficial for us since we are a newly married couple, hence, building up our extra savings and emergency funds really prep us for what to come in the future! We definitely recommend his services to others and for you to know how great he is, you will have to contact him to let him guide you and experience it first hand.

Zabeer (Business owner)

I was encouraged to meet Syamim by my best friend due to the great experience he had with the services and relationship he offered. I was always the person who thought that I could manage my own financial planning for the future. My first meeting with Syamim was very different than what I had pictured. It was more like having a friend over to who has keen listening ear and someone who has our interest as his main priority. He gives you ideas and is not steadfast in selling his point of view rather he is willing to find the closest solutions to our financial needs. Understanding the priorities that we have, he constructs a clear financial plan for both the near and the distant future. When you choose him as your financial planner , you get a person who is meticulous in looking after the fine details of your financial goals that you have. Rest assured , you can have the peace of mind that it is well taken care of. I would recommend any person to have a first meeting with Syamim before you take a decision on engaging any other person for your financial needs or if you were someone like me, try meeting Syamim and feel the impression he can make on you.

Safrin (Teacher)

Syamim has been extremely helpful in assisting me and my husband with our finances over the years. We started off as newly employed young adults with lots of goals and ambitions for our future but with no plan, but Syamim's advice and guidance on these matters has been godsend. He makes sure to provide very personalized plans that shows he cares which is what everyone looks for in a financial planner. It's not easy to find such dedicated workers these days, we are glad that we were able to engage him so early on even before starting our careers. Thank you for the constant and amazing service Syamim! All the best in your career!

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!

Arshi (News Editor)

I was recommended to meet Syamim by a family member, and I’m really glad I did. Our meetings are always informative—I’ve learned so much about improving my spending habits and growing my savings. What stands out most is Syamim’s honest and candid approach; he genuinely prioritises your well-being and comfort, which makes the whole experience feel personal and trustworthy. Compared to other financial planning sessions I’ve had, this one felt much more tailored and sincere. I would absolutely recommend meeting Syamim to anyone looking for clarity and confidence in their financial journey.

Farhaan (Civil servant)

I’ve known Syamim since he was serving his national service with SCDF, so when he reached out to me for financial planning, it felt like the right time to get started. What gave me additional confidence was knowing that several of our mutual colleagues already trusted him to manage their finances. Working with Syamim has been a smooth experience—he's always responsive, easy to reach, and takes the time to explain things thoroughly. He breaks down complex financial matters in a way that’s easy to understand, which really helps with making informed decisions. I trust him to guide my financial journey and appreciate the clarity he brings to the process and would definitely recommend his services
