In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together!

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.

Joel (Product Manager)

I bought the AIA hospital plan from Benjamin. I've known him back during our NS days. He is a down-to-earth person whom I feel comfortable entrusting the insurance planning to. Ben takes the time to patiently explain the policy coverage and does not hard-sell products that are not required based on my needs and abilities at the moment. Recommend.

Huiting (Manager)

Benjamin and Liliani are very friendly and knowledgeable in their field of work. They recommended the insurance policy that best suited my needs in my current stage of life. From Liliani's sharing of Insurance, I better understood the importance of protecting my wealth and well-being from the potential risks that could happen to me. From the sessions with them, I am assured now to be free to do the things I want, and have a peace of mind without having to worry about any unexpected bad events happening to me and my family financially.

Yukey Teng (Assistant Manager)

Benjamin is patient, helpful, detail-oriented and considerate all the time. Before I met him, I was afraid & really scared of those hard selling and misleading sales person. However, meeting Ben changed that perception because he will place understanding your needs and wants first, before proposing any solutions. Financial planning and advised given was useful. Ben updates me regularly on my policy as well as follow-ups when required. Last but not least, he is a very responsible person who treats his client seriously, considers their situation and is caring. No joke, he will nag at you when you make nonsense decisions (Hahahahah…)

Seth (Student)

I’m a student with no prior knowledge about finance or investments at all, thus I was a bit unsure or “paiseh” before consulting Ben. But to my surprise, he was super enthusiastic about answering my questions (no matter how minor) and was very VERY patient with me to help me understand even the basics of investments and insurances. I’m very grateful for the advice he gave me!

Roy Lance (Engineer)

Ben and I have been friends for more than 10 years. When he told me he wanted to pursue a career in financial consulting, I knew that I can trust him with my financial future. He was meticulous and detailed about the policies - which I felt was necessary for my financial stability & understanding. At the same time, he patiently updates the portfolio summary every time to depict a clear picture of the pros & cons of each individual policies. Ben was determined in ensuring that I am familiar with the policies before moving on. I would highly recommend Ben as your financial advisor should you be looking for one! To Ben, keep up the good work buddy (son)!

Rabiya (Pre-School Teacher)

I’ve been wanting to get an insurance plan for a very long time and contacted AIA for it. I got a very quick response from Benjamin and since I did not know anything about insurance nor savings much, he helped me by explaining it very patiently. Benjamin is very patient and explains the policies clearly based on your needs. He keeps me updated about everything and so far it has been fun working with him!
