Anna Neo

Steven has been the most trusting, reliable and competent agent one can have. Our friendship of over 20 years started from my very first life policy. Since then, Steven has been a trusted family friend within my circle of extended family and friends. I know I can depend on Steven whenever I needed help and advice. He is always ready to listen and attend to my queries. Recently our family underwent a challenging time when my mother suffered from a stroke. Steven has been very patient in supporting and explaining every step to us, from hospitalisation, transferring to community hospital to post hospitalisation care. Our family and I really appreciate Steven's friendship, care and concern, and the professionalism he displays during his work. We are indeed blessed to have met and know Steven.

Chris, Business Owner

Ever since Steven took over my family's insurance affairs, our insurance coverage has not only gotten better, it has also gotten cheaper! Steven is one of those rare agents who genuinely strives to put his clients' welfare before any other considerations. Over the years he has displayed impressive patience with us, explaining all the details of various policies, and going the extra mile when needed. And with all that, Steven has become a friend I enjoy spending time with. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Steven for a very long time.

No policy too small. No effort too big. Someone who Goes the Extra Mile G.E.M. to ensure you are adequately protected. A committed agent who takes care of his client well being. Thanks for the effort! Much appreciated.

Harsh Verma Executive Director JPMorgan Chase & Co

I have known Steven for almost 2 decades and have seen him grow over this period. His success can be mainly attributed to his high level of professionalism, his impeccable customer service and his constant availability. He knows my family profile, has been recommending products that suit my needs based on family members, age, etc and does not coax me into unnecessary sales. Every product he has recommended to me has yielded me benefits over time. The one aspect that definitely needs to be called out is his availability. After all these years and his personal growth in the industry he is available within seconds of sending him a message. Whether we are traveling or he is, I have never had to wait for a turnaround from Steven. He always maintains a very friendly, yet professional interaction and goes out of his way to build a relationship with my family. No matter how trivial the question, he maintains a high level of patience to guide my family and me to the right outcome. In spite of all this he somehow manages to maintain a very healthy lifestyle. Not only does he do this for himself but he has a special gift to influence and has made my family more involved in running, trekking, etc towards staying fit and healthy. I would recommend Steven to anyone without an ounce of doubt. His attitude, professionalism and friendliness is unparalleled.

Steven was introduced to me by my close NS friend, Paul. We met through the mutual interest of cycling and trying to keep fit and healthy. It was through a mutual cycling trip to Japan in April this year that we got to know each other better and where our friendship blossomed. You can suss out a character of a person when you have to eat and share a room together 😊 Through this memorable trip and many more cycling excursions, he has shown to be dependable, trustworthy, witty and knowledgeable. I have come to regard him first as a friend, then my insurance agent. Steven does not sell policies for the sake of earning a commission, but he gets to know his clients first and then recommend policies that are suited for them during that particular stage of their life. There was no pressure at any time and I felt that the whole policy transaction process was smooth and done very professionally. I have no hesitation to recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional financial adviser to meet their needs.

Lai See Siong, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Director, Manufacturing & Process

Steven has been providing excellent insurance counseling and advice for my family and I for years. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. He is patient in explaining the details and answering questions pertaining to our insurance needs. On a personal note, Steven treats his clients as good friends too. He organizes regular healthy activities like cycling, running, and encourages his clients to join in so as to keep a healthy lifestyle and at the same time to network. In fact, many of his clients are now my friends too. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a 5-star Insurance agent.
