In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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!

The Puzzle of Motivation

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.

Xin Ni (Pharmacist)

Syamim is one of the few financial advisors that go that extra mile. On top of being knowledgeable in the financial field, he: * Patiently sits down with you through multiple sessions to understand your financial needs before sharing his recommendations * Gives you a Holistic overview of your finances throughout your life after mapping it out with you, using easy to understand graphs and excel models (no overly complicated excel formulas involved!) * Explains to you the different financial tools you can use (not limited to insurance policies only) to achieve your financial goals, taking to account your life circumstance and your goals , and ensures that you understands before embarking on anyone of them * Takes to account your current insurance plans * And most importantly, respects your final decision I happen to just met Syamim at the point where I started to have quite a number of insurance policies and is not sure which are necessary, coupled with having huge expenses coming up in my life. Initially I didn't expect much from his sessions, but after each session, I seem to have gained new knowledge and understanding on my current financial situation, and is empowered to make right decisions. I would definitely recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a person to properly guide them into managing their finances in their lives, as he doesn't see you as a customer/client, but treats you as a buddy that wants to help you with managing your finances.

Haziq (Senior Manager)

Syamim is meticulous in his work and ensures that he covers all grounds when guiding me in drawing up my financial goals. He is not afraid to ask the tough questions and is highly skilled in planning and helping me manage my life goals. 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.

Shafiq & Afiqah

I was initially quite skeptical about meeting Syamim, but after our session, I was genuinely impressed by how detailed and structured his planning process was. I got to know him through recommendations from my colleagues, and I can see why they spoke so highly of him. The most beneficial part of our meeting was the clear projection and allocation of my income and savings — understanding exactly how much to set aside to achieve my goals within a given timeline was eye-opening. The cashflow breakdown was also very helpful, something I found lacking in previous financial planning sessions with other advisors. Overall, the session gave me much better clarity about my finances, and I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim to anyone looking to better plan and manage their financial future.

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.

Shahrin (Manager)

Before I met Syamim, I had very little knowledge on the importance of having insurance, and financial management. 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.
