A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Mr Stephen Thng. Trainer & Assessor in bricklaying at Skills Australia Institute

Steven is an amazing agent with great character. He is professional, a good listener, extremely patient and trustworthy. It's his personal touch that sets him apart from others. He would put in extra effort to get to know me and my family personally so that he can offer us the products and coverages that specifically suit our needs and budget. He is very helpful and always available to answer any questions or make any changes regarding my policies. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a professional who takes his work seriously.

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.

I got to know Steven through a mutual friend back in Nov-2019. Being a foreigner new to Singapore, Steven warmly welcomed me into his weekly hiking sessions at Bt Timah Forest Reserve. Since then, we have been religiously 'conquering' Bt Timah hill. More recently, we even extended our hike to start from MacRitchie Reservoir. Steven's motto is 'What is impossible today, will become warm-up tomorrow', and he truly believes in this! Separately, I have also grown to trust Steven with my insurance needs. Being new and alone in Singapore, I knew that having appropriate insurance coverage is paramount. Steven was very detailed and thorough in his briefing sessions and provided me coverage options that suited my needs. No pushy sales or pressure. I would strongly recommend Steven to anyone looking for an experienced, authentic and straight-taking insurance advisor.

Loh Soi Min

I bought a simple Travel Insurance from Steven as I was going on a Everest Base Camp trek. I was totally impressed by the level of commitment and service provided. I had to be evacuated on the way down after a fall. As we had to contact AIG for approval for the medical evacuation, I messaged Steven and his response to my questions were quite immediate, giving me the necessary numbers and items claimable each time a message is sent. This no doubt helped me to get the necessary approvals quickly and I was evacuated within 24 hours. For a small value policy, Steven has shown that he has his clients' interests at heart and can be trusted fully. He is definitely someone whom I would consider as my financial adviser.
