A Monthly Curated Newsletter

There are many new things to deal with at this time while we are being isolated from life-as-usual. A new lifestyle, a new future and something that can be quite subtle - a new kind of burnout. It should do us well to be aware about this so we can learn to disengage when we need to. I wish you and your loved ones good health and may you continue to stay safe!

Nadiah (Executive)

Meeting Syamim was one of the best financial decisions I’ve made. I first reached out after seeing mutual friends engage him as their advisor, mainly because I had no insurance and wanted proper guidance before two big life milestones — marriage and buying a house. The session was incredibly insightful, especially on insurance and financial planning. I had zero knowledge before, but Syamim explained everything clearly and helped me understand how to plan for both short- and long-term goals. What stood out most was his approach — he’s not pushy or sales-driven. Instead, he recommends plans that genuinely fit your budget, lifestyle, and goals. Syamim is detailed, professional, and genuinely cares about helping clients build a solid financial foundation for a better quality of life. I’d highly recommend meeting him to anyone looking to gain clarity and confidence in their finances.

Nadiah (Document Specialist) & Suhaimi (Engineer)

Syamim knows his products well and he takes his time to explain to us clearly. He is able to assist us on taking the most suitable product that matches our ever growing financial capabilities. Will definitely recommend him for any insurance related and financial advice. (Nadiah) Syamim is proactive in keeping us updated with Great Eastern products and relevant government related incentives too. His engagement is proven to be productive as he is able to cater to our needs and situation. (Suhaimi)

Uwais (Firefighter)

I have known Syamim for more than 10 years. Despite our close friendship, he has always remained professional whenever we discuss topics on personal finance. Syamim has guided me not only in typical insurance and investments but also helped me plan through important milestones in my life such as marriage, renovations and family planning. I would definitely recommend engaging Syamim's services as his holistic and long-term financial planning has allowed me to live my life worry free.

Syafiqah (Immigration Officer)

It was just last year when I was introduced to Syamim. Syamim's main priority is to educate us on healthy financial habits. He would create a customised plan depending on our lifestyle, spending habits and financial commitments. As he is very easy-going, it was really easy to talk to him and consult him regarding financial matters. He is also very detailed and efficient in his work. He makes use of excel sheets, graphs and charts to further explain and give a clearer picture so that we really understand and not just agree blindly. For someone like me who has no prior experience and knowledge regarding financial planning, this has greatly benefitted me. I am able to be on track with my future goals and milestones. I strongly recommend Syamim to anyone out there who has doubts regarding financial planning and those who need the extra help in planning for their future goals.

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.

Elly (Finance executive)

I chose to meet Syamim because I wanted a true financial advisor—someone who provides genuine advisory service rather than a typical insurance salesperson approach. The most beneficial part of our meeting was how clearly he explained the policies I had signed up for, the coverage I currently hold, and the financial projections for my portfolio. It gave me a much better understanding of where I stand and what I should plan for moving forward. This experience was significantly better than my previous financial planning sessions. My past agent tended to hard-sell without taking the time to understand my needs, but Syamim did the opposite. He took the time to learn about my situation before giving thoughtful advice. Yes, I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.
