Shafiq (Civil servant) & Nani (Teacher)

I chose to meet Syamim because I was curious on how my fiancé manages his financials. We are open when it comes to financial management and what really captured my attention was that Syamim pays attention to the small details for his clients. He ensures that Shafiq doesn't feel burdened and did not force him into anything that he cannot commit to yet. Something different about Syamim is that he does excel sheets on planning for you so that you won’t question what is going to happen because it is already projected on the excel. He is the only agent that we see doing this, which gives you personalised data and a feeling of priority. For me, I find that him putting himself into my shoes really shows the decency of a human being. He knows that everybody is struggling with something and he ensures that I don’t feel embarrassed or difficult when talking to him. When talking to him for the first time, I felt comfortable as though we were friends before. He made it seem easy to talk to him about anything. He can do both small talks and deep conversations. When I first heard about him from Shafiq, I did not expect to see a friend more than an agent. I would definitely recommend this meeting to everyone. I’ve met with a few financial advisors and Syamim made me the most comfortable to talk about my financial situation. Convincing is something anyone in this field can do but trust takes courage and time. And he seems genuine for me to trust.

Nasran (Early Childhood Teacher)

Meeting Syamim helped me establish a proper system that I could use to ensure accountability of my finances. He made me realise that it is crucial and necessary for me to plan ahead be it short-term or long-term in terms of personal finances. I definitely would recommend this meeting to other people because he ensures that the methods he suggests are applicable to my financial situation as well as provide further insight to better improve my financial literacy. People would definitely benefit from meeting him as he provides a very open and understanding environment when it comes to personal financial aspects like spending and income, and even takes a step further in providing a viable solution that is effective and personalised.

Nisha (Researcher)

When I met Syamim, he seemed genuine and not pushy at all. Sessions by other financial planners that I met typically employed hard sell tactics and this makes Syamim different from them. I benefitted a lot from the excel sheets where he mapped out the expected/ideal cash flow per month and how to diversify the free cash flow in various ways. Not only that, he also shared with me on ways to invest within my financial lane.

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!

Iskandar (Business Owner)

Syamim has been very helpful in helping me manage my finances. Especially as a business owner revenue may not always be fixed. He has given me useful directions and structures so that I am able to mitigate the risks in both my business and personal life. I strongly recommend everyone to meet Syamim as he is someone that is very sincere, helpful and always one call away whenever I need help with my finances.

Aiq (Teacher)

I wanted to take charge of my finances and start my financial journey right as I just got a full-time job and was planning to get married. My then fiancé, now husband, introduced me to Syamim. We met for a non-obligatory consultation, and I was clueless then – no idea about what type of insurance I needed or any savings or retirement plan. What made me choose Syamim as my financial consultant was that he was patient in explaining any question that I had. No question was a bad question. He was thorough in his explanation and whenever I was not sure which option to choose, he will go through all the options I had and did not pressure me to sign for anything I was uncomfortable with. He is very consistent in checking up on my husband and I, we meet every half-year for an update (whether we are on track or not – so nerve-wrecking haha) and what to work towards in the next 6 months, which I find is helpful. Although my husband and I threw some surprises his way in terms of our plans, Syamim was quick to relook at our finances and set new, manageable goals for us. Thanks Syamim for your patience and hard work so far! 😊
