This all began when he aided my parents with their motor insurance.
Unnecessary insurance costs were cut and it helped in the growth of my family business.
Jerry, caring and knowledgeable, would always respond swiftly to the needs of my family.
It is unfortunate that my family had to made a few claims over the years. However, with Jerry’s meticulous financial planning, all claims thus far were successful and it has greatly brought peace of mind to my family.
Further, with proper financial planning that Jerry has provided, my parents will be able to retire with a comfortable sum of money for them to enjoy retirement to its fullest.
These have showed me the works of comprehensive financial planning and how it aids in bringing peace to the affected individual and family members.
Being a people’s person, this showed me how I materialize the empathy I have for others through this career. | | | | 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.

At that time i was looking for an insurance agent to get some plans for my newborn.
That was when I was introduced to Jerry in 2013 by one of the mummies, Irene.
I got some plans for my son, followed by myself and my other family members as we feel that Jerry is a very knowledgeable and responsible person.
Even though he is very busy with work, he would definitely meet in person to process claims or give financial advice.
At that time, I was a relationship manager handing corporate accounts in a bank. He asked if I was interested to become a financial planner and join him in his mission to save more lives and help people in financial planning. I rejected him straight away as I have insecurities about financial stability as a self employed.
It was after the birth of my second child that I started having problems striking a balance between family and work. Subsequently, I left my job at the bank and joined his team in early 2017.
Since then, I never looked back... even though my first 2 years were tough. I am enjoying my job now!
Jerry continues to handle some of my insurance plans, hence, he is now my planner, my friend, my mentor and also my boss. He gives me a lot of freedom in the way I run my business and he will review my performance regularly and update me on my progress for various campaigns and awards and motivate me to achieve more.
Because of his constant support in this career, I am thankful that I was able to achieve MDRT this year despite the pandemic situation. | | | | Shi Hua (MOE Educator) I've known Jerry for more than a decade.

So if u ever need a trustworthy and reliable advisor, Jerry is the man! | | | | Esther Lim (Homemaker) My husband and I knew Jerry since 2014. His in-depth knowledge of the field has helped us a huge deal in our financial and insurance needs. Beyond professional expertise, his friendly disposition makes him a great friend as well.
