Sarifah Hasliza, Teacher

Where do I actually start? Kenneth is an amazing agent with great character and he is definitely trustworthy. He has been with us close to 20 years. From handling just my individual portfolio, to handling my whole family (of 6) insurance portfolio. He is always there whenever I needed advice. Never once did he ignore my calls/texts. He even makes home visits whenever we need to to update our policies. I’ve recommended him to my sister and cousins. They were impressed by his personalised & thorough presentation and switched to Prudential. I must mention that Kenneth is never pushy and always gives us space & time to consider his proposal.

Jasmine Chua, Director, HCS Engineering

Known Kenneth since 2007 and he has been managing my family portfolio since. 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.

Ullas Nair, G6 Army, MINDEF

I have known Kenneth for about 21 years since we worked together in PT & Sports branch of G6 Army, MINDEF. As that time he was a specialist enlisted and trained as a fitness instructor. I was his superior officer and we worked together in managing and monitoring the army’s overall fitness data and making plans and policies. He struck me even then as a dedicated person, who took his full time national service seriously. He worked hard to ensure that our data was accurate and reliable and fit its purposes. After he left his army service where he had done very well, he branched out into the insurance industry. I was certain he would not only do well but excel in his chosen field at Prudential. We kept in touch all through the years and he even recommended me some good insurance products. His service was excellent, he treat everyone as a special friend not just a customer. He even assisted his army colleagues to invest week and we all found him to be a capable and reliable person. As an individual, Kenneth has very good inter-personal skills and EQ, but he is genuinely a nice person and would contact us from time to time even if we were not involved in any business deals with him. He has a food reputation from all his army friends even after leaving service more than 21 years ago. I wish him the best and I know he will serve his clients and friends well.
