He is meticulous in planning and has advised me more than just on financial plans. He has been my consultant first but we have since become good family friends. | | | Affendi, Civil Service “In 2001 I started working and was clueless about insurance products. How to protect myself? How to save for retirement? Then I was introduced to Kenneth thru a mutual friend. To my recollection, he also just started his journey as a Financial Advisor. Despite that, Kenneth showed sincerity, confidence and professionalism (he still does) when I first met him.
Kenneth without fail will explained and assured me what is best for me at different phase of my life.
Moving forward 21 years later, my family and I have always put our trust and faith in him. He always make himself available even on weekends (sorry to disturb u on weekends) when I needed his advice or help.
Kenneth, I am happy for you Brudder! You are a testament that when you doing what you love sincerely, success will follow through in many forms.
From my Insurance agent to my Friend.”

Trustworthy and sincere. Kenneth has been helping to plan for my family plans for more than 10 years.

He is also a good public speaker and has spoke at my company events. | | | Michelle Tan, Senior Financial Consultant Kenneth's confidence, experience and his ability to vision made me took a leap of faith from my decent paying job & multiple offers to join his team. It was indeed a tough decision but I have never regretted ever since. He believes in me more than I believe in myself & will push me to do better, be better. I have grown a lot these 4 years under his mentorship, emotionally, mentally & financially. I'm proud to say that without Kenneth, I wouldn't be where I am right now.
Everything happens for a reason. If you ever receive a call from Kenneth one day on a new career opportunity, pick it up, have a coffee with him. It might be the turning point you were waiting for. | | | Russell Ng, CEO AIMS APAC REIT Kenneth has been my personal financial adviser for close to a decade and has always provided professional, clear and timely advice for my family.

Kenneth lives by this principle more than many others.
I first met Kenneth, a little more than 3 years back. He came across as a straightforward and focused director. At that moment, I knew I have much more to learn from him.
Being in the business for over 20 years, he has met many different kinds of individuals. He has a unique communication style, knowing that words transform emotions and lead to breakthroughs. His decisiveness carries the team, that does not mean he makes easy decisions. He makes what's right even in tough times.
If one have ever engaged in a conversation with Kenneth, one must have sensed quickly his confidence and clear visions. He is fully focused on helping the team achieve their personal goals, even if it means sacrificing his time. Kenneth is a yes man to his mentees, not because he says yes to everything, but because he couldn't turn a blind eye to his team.
Being a good speaker with his language fluency helped me discover that public speaking is a skill I enjoyed very much, and he is an example to follow.
In my almost 3 years with Kenneth, I have enjoyed learning from him as my mentor, upgrading my skills and putting my strengths to use. He listens before he speaks, which many of us would have wanted from a leader.
He has played a big role and attribution to my achievements and helped me vision who I want to be, who I could be and discovering my identity.
In today's fast paced market, Kenneth is constantly looking for innovative ideas and finding the X factor. It was never a dull moment to learn new things from him.
If you are looking for a leader that is no-nonsense, honest and focused on helping you achieve your goals, walk up to Kenneth and start the conversation. | | | | |
