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!

Saliha (Research Asssistant)

I have always wondered about my husband's FP - how involved, efficient and invested he is. My insurance agent was originally a friend, who has left the company and he handed over my policies to his colleague. A significant number of years had passed, yet I have never met my new IA and I did not receive any updates on changes in policies. I decided I would like to meet Syamim to have a 2nd opinion, and I was really glad it happened. He was calm, knowledgeable and patiently refreshed the policies I had back then. Planning for both our short and long term goals was the highlight of the meeting for me. Syamim is someone who makes you feel valuable and empower you with the belief that you are capable of change. He supports you in your retirement goals, without neglecting your current and potential needs for the family. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others! It is always good to have a 2nd opinion, and Syamim will shed light on what is the best comprehensive plan according to your needs and financial capacity.

Syamim’s meticulous planning and timely reminders are much welcomed and helps me to look ahead and prepare for major milestones. For being such a trustworthy and reliable figure, I have no regrets and full confidence that he can deliver what he promises.

Amira (Admin Executive)

I was not sure where to start on financial planning and which insurance to take up as I was under my dad’s insurance and I didn’t have my own insurance. So I decided to engage with Syamim as he’s someone I’m familiar with. You will be able to oversee the plannings that he does in terms of finances and insurance. I am also able to see where and how much funds are allocated to spending and saving, which helps me to keep my budget on track. Most importantly, emergency funds. He always emphasise that it’s important to have emergency funds ready just in case any unfortunate events occur. Syamim was the first advisor that I engaged. He did a customised financial plan for me and introduced me to the types insurance that is suitable for me. He will also review my finances and portfolio every year so that you have an idea what you took up and whether you are on track with your financial plan. I would definitely recommend Syamim as he is comfortable to talk to, not pushy, explains everything in detail and answers any questions that you need clarification to. 👍🏻

Aameena

I recently had the pleasure of working with Syamim from Great Eastern for my insurance needs, and I must say that my experience was exceptionally positive. Syamim demonstrated a high level of professionalism and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. He was prompt in responding to my inquiries, addressing my concerns, and guiding me through the complexities of various insurance policies. What sets Syamim apart is his in-depth knowledge. He took the time to thoroughly explain the available options, helping me understand the intricacies of each policy. His expertise made it easier for me to make informed decisions that align with my specific needs. Communication was generally clear and concise. I appreciated Syamim's commitment to tailoring a policy that fits my unique requirements. He took the time to assess my situation and customize a plan that not only provides comprehensive coverage but also fits within my budget. Working with Syamim was a refreshing experience in an industry that can sometimes be overwhelming. His dedication to customer satisfaction, coupled with his knowledge and professionalism, makes him a reliable choice for anyone seeking insurance solutions. I highly recommend Syamim to anyone in search of a trustworthy and competent insurance agent. His commitment to excellence is evident, and I feel confident knowing that my insurance needs are in capable hands.

Daniel (Civil Servant)

I felt confident engaging Syamim as my adviser because he is knowledgeable in the industry and very sincere in assessing my financial health. He never hard sells any policy and always considers my existing financial capabilities when proposing any policies. He will ensure that i am able to maintain them with a piece of mind and at the same time, be well protected and insured. He is a patient, humble, sincere and realistic person whom i will not hesitate to recommend. I first met Syamim several years ago when he just started out as a financial adviser. Im glad and proud to learn that he has made many achievements throughout the years and has proven himself as a competent and successful adviser whom you can trust. Thank you Syamim for your service.

Shazlyn (Homemaker) & Faizal (Pilot)

We were aware of the work that Syamim does after he came in highly recommended by a few relatives. At that point in time, we were looking for an advisor who could relate to us well, explain policies to us clearly and sincerely help us in managing our current and future policies. We switched over to his services after just one meeting because of how detailed and professional he is in his work. He took a lot of time and effort to present the best policies he felt suited our needs and they were spot on. His patience with us and our gazillion questions is also worth mentioning. The PowerPoint presentations that had diagrams with concise information were most beneficial. It provided a clear overview of each policy we currently had and wanted to take up. It was an easy reference point as we tend to easily forget the details of the different policies. It was different to other sessions with other advisors which were merely made up of discussions where the agent goes over the details of the policy verbally again and again. It doesn't stick, and is easily forgettable. With the different tools Syamim uses, we could easily grasp the idea of a policy by just a slide/diagram. It allows us to comprehend things easily and refer to them conveniently. We would a million percent recommend this meeting to others because as a millennial himself, he definitely gets us. He understands and relates to us so well that we look forward to meetings for updates rather than dread them. We truly enjoy the service he provides and the extra mile he always goes for clients. He has our complete trust and rest assured he is the best agent we've ever encountered thus far.
