| In the last issue, we discussed how robots will change our lives in the future. It has become increasingly important for us to keep our minds on the ball, stay sharp and stay progressive. If half the jobs in 2020 are yet to be known to us, how can we prepare ourselves and our children today? To face a fast changing future, we need to first understand it. We need to try and take a peek into this future and start to embrace change. | | What skills does Singapore need for the future economy? We live in a time when roughly half of the jobs in 2020 are not yet known to us, and conversely, half of the jobs today will be extinct. | | 10 Job Skills You'll Need in 2020 The world of work —and the world in general—is changing. People are living longer, new technologies are emerging, and we’ve never been more globally connected. That means the skills we use now in the workplace are not necessarily the skills we’ll need in the future. | | The digital future of work: What skills will be needed? | | Proudly Brought to You I hope you have enjoyed this issue of my InTouch newsletter.

Throughout the years of supporting him as a BDM, I know he is definitely someone whom a person can trust fully in terms of personal or financial advice. I then decided to leave my insurance needs in his hands. Despite his ever busy schedule, he ensured that I’m aware he’s always still around. We’ve got to admit this, there are insurance agents out there who can never be found.
Jerry went the extra mile in providing advice when I decided to take a leap of faith to purchase my first property. Without this, I would have been so lost in planning my finances.
All I can say is Jerry is definitely the man to go to. He’ll never fail or disappoint you. He’s a GEM and I really appreciate all that he had done for me. | | | | Matthew (MOE Educator) & Rebecca (Full-time tutor) Jerry was my (Rebecca) classmate in university and has always come across as a warm and helpful friend.
Today, also as our financial advisor, he continues to give timely advice and a listening ear to our concerns. There were instances where we consulted him and his unassuming nature and objective perspective encouraged us greatly in our decision making process.
We are thankful that our paths have crossed and we would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends who are in search of a trusted and reliable advisor.
Thumbs up for Jerry! | | | | Ms Marlene Tan (MOE Educator) Planning for your family and future is important, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with Jerry as my financial advisor. Finding someone I felt truly comfortable with was a challenge, but knowing Jerry from our time as colleagues, I knew he wasn’t the typical hard-sales type. And I was right—Jerry is everything you’d hope for in a financial advisor: sincere, patient, efficient, and genuinely invested in your best interests.
What sets Jerry apart is his willingness to listen. He takes the time to understand your needs, current profile, and existing policies before offering advice. There’s never any pressure—just thoughtful guidance based on what’s best for you, not what benefits him. His approach is long-term; he doesn’t just focus on immediate solutions but carefully plans for your future as well.
Beyond his sincerity, Jerry is also incredibly efficient. He ensures that everything is handled smoothly and promptly, making the entire process seamless and hassle-free. He puts in the hard work to find the best options, explains them clearly, and follows through with every detail—so you never feel lost or overwhelmed.
Through both his words and actions, it’s clear that Jerry works with integrity. He puts in the effort to ensure you make informed decisions, always considering what truly benefits you. If you’re looking for a financial advisor who prioritizes your well-being, offers sound advice, and gets things done efficiently, Jerry is the one to trust. | | | | Wilert Goh (Founder at WoodAndWalls) "I came to know Jerry through my brother Andy about 3 years ago. I remember I was intending to get some plans for my workers and seeking business advice too. Not long after, my missus and I have a daughter going to be enrolled into Primary School soon, we were looking for a savings plan that could aid her future education. Therein lies the connection between Jerry and my family. And my business too :)
Jerry is not the first adviser I knew and before knowing him, like many I've had unpleasant experiences not only with the advisers themselves but certain plans that did not turn out ideal for us. So before I met Jerry, my brother knew my expectations and he wasted no time in referring him.
Now if there is an overachiever(Jerry hope you don't mind my using of the term! I meant well) in the Financial Advisor/Insurance line, this man is the personification of the aforementioned term. I place good emphasis on details when it comes to my line of work and I serve my own customers with vigour and passion so in a way, I hope I was accorded a similar service. Jerry patiently fed me so much information that I became gleefully overweight in my head. I totally welcomed that with joy. He explains the plans and dispenses advice not from a personal profitability POV but with my interests at heart.
To cut the long story short, I was immensely impressed by his passion, his neverending thirst for knowledge and not least his love and care for his clients.
I do not have many people I can readily turn to for advice on almost anything. Jerry is definitely in that list" | | | | Sarinah Mohamed (senior MOE educator) Jerry is not only my financial advisor, he is my trusted friend for many years. We were colleagues when Jerry was working at MOE.
I have been with Jerry since he first started out in the insurance industry. That is more than 15 years ago. I can vouch that he will explain all the important details of the policies to his clients. You can ask anything and everything, he will answer. His patience is tremendous. Jerry advocates that protection and savings policies are of outmost importance in building up your insurance portfolio. If you are not sure or do not understand the clauses in the policies, please ask. In terms of making claims, he will help you through. Definitely a highly recommended and trusted financial advisor!
I am happy with all the advice he has given me all these years with respect to insurance policies. You are in safe hands. After so many years, we’re family.
Jerry bukan hanya perunding kewangan saya, beliau adalah rakan saya yang boleh dipercayai. Saya telah berkawan dengan Jerry lebih dari 15 tahun. Kami adalah rakan sekerja semasa Jerry bekerja sebagai seorang guru di MOE.
Saya telah membeli polisi insuran dari Jerry sejak dia bermula di industry insuran lebih 15 tahun dahulu. Sebagai perunding kewangan, Jerry akan menerangkan semua klausa dalam polisi insuran yang anda ingin beli dengan terperinci. Anda boleh tanya macam macam soalan, Jerry akan menerangkannya. Kesabarannya tahap tinggi. Jerry selalu menasihati polisi insuran pelindungan and menyimpan wang adalah yang paling penting dalam membina portfolio insuran anda. Jika anda tidak pasti atau faham klausa-klausa di dalam polisi insuran anda, jangan malu untuk bertanya dengan Jerry. Jika anda perlu membuat tuntutan, Jerry akan menolong anda seterusnya. Jerry adalah seorang perunding kewangan yang boleh dipercayai.
Saya banyak berterima kasih dengan Jerry kerana selama ini, beliau banyak memberi nasihat yang baik sebelum saya membeli polisi insuran. Anda berada di tangan yang selamat. Sekian lama, kami adalah sekeluarga. | | | | Nady Yang (SUSS undergraduate) It was a fruitful session with Jerry! It was eyeopening as it was my first time meeting a financial advisor and I didn’t know what to expect. But he patiently shared and educated me all the plans and the possible financial paths and decisions I can make now for the future.
Jerry also made the policies' jargons easy to absorb and I think I now have a clearer view of the steps I should take to reach my goals.
Overall, I look forward to learning more from him. Jerry, you again for taking out your time for this session 😆 | | | | |
