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.

Alan Teoh

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.

Steven was introduced to me by my good friend. Other than polices bought when I was a child, Steven handles all my policies. I trust in his professionalism, and in his advice with regards to policies that I may need or may be interested during different phases in my life. He does not sell policies for the sake of selling, but truly wishes that his clients are adequately protected so that they can enjoy life without medical or retirement worries. Over the years, he has become more than just an insurance agent. He is someone I can call upon in times of need. Thanks for being there for me and Kenzo 🐶.

I have come across many financial and insurance advisors who fade away after time. So much so that when you are in need, they can’t be found. Steven on the other hand is a person who is dependable. He is an energetic person with trustworthy character. He is always attentive and prompt. Never failed to answer phone calls or respond texts even when he is on holiday. Thank you Steven, for helping on my sister’s case. She would have a lot more to worry about if it is not for you. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for quality advice and impeccable customer service.

Pak-Tjun Chin

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.

Educator, Ministry Of Education

Steven is a very responsible agent with integrity. Client-centered, he seeks to understand the client needs before recommending a product. He will tirelessly explain clearly and allows clients to clarify, as well as give them critical information.

Theng Soo Ting

I met Steven many years ago and have seen him grown into a highly successful professional because he believed in his cause. He is highly diligent, humble and caring. He also later became my family insurance consultant and a family friend. Steven is highly professional and his belief on why he is in the profession resonates with me, the reason why I trust him completely and will not hesitate to take his advice as I know it will be to my family’s interest. He is contactable wherever he is and his level of commitment to clients is indeed commendable. Never once have I doubted that he will respond swiftly whenever I have a difficult question for him – and he always will have an answer almost instantaneously.
