And which existing ones will be obsolete? How can we survive? Yet some things don't change. Understanding the things that will change and those that won't can help us carve out a better future.

Eddie Chin, HR Business Partner, CAG

I’ve known Kenneth since my army days, so that works out to more than 20 years… I must say since those days, Kenneth has been a natural mentor in caring for and taking care of his course mates (me included!). Armed with a positive and never-say-die attitude, he regularly galvanizes every one of us fellow trainees to “endure and excel” throughout the few months of training together. From the tough times we faced together, you could clearly tell that Kenneth was someone you could depend on, in good or bad times… 😊 I recall Kenneth was already clear at that young age (where most guys are probably trying to “act cool”), that he wanted to go into the financial planning line to help relatives and friends better plan for their needs at various stages of life. We continued keeping in touch after we were posted to different camps in Singapore, and shortly after we turned operationally ready he got his financial planner licence with Prudential! Without a doubt, I took up my first life policy with him after starting work myself. Fast forward 20 years, and Kenneth continues to conscientiously plan for me and my family’s needs in terms of insurance coverage. I mean it when I say “needs”, coz Kenneth never pushes for me to take on more than I should or could. Now that he’s leading his own team, he remains down to earth and continues to keep tab on me and my family’s well-being, as a good friend and trusted financial advisor.

Crystal Huang, Senior Financial Consultant

I joined Kenneth's Team back in 2018, and I would say it was his character and transparency that gave me the leap of faith to join the Finance & Insurance Industry. Time flies and it is my fourth year, Kenneth would still be ever ready to assist me should I need advise, and also he continues to support the Team with prospecting methods and ideas. Despite being in the industry for more than 20 years himself, he is always open to new ideas, suggestions, and continues to learn from others (signing up for courses/ hearing from others). He is a leader who leads and inspire many others.

Shawn Ng, Sales Director

Know Kenneth for many years and he handles my family insurance portfolio. He knows his work and is never pushy with us. Good service

Priscilla Chew, Senior Financial Consultant

"A leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of blame and a little less than his share of credit." 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.

Xaye Lee, Teacher

I know Kenneth in 2001 when I bought my very First insurance from him. Being new to the workforce, I am overwhelmed with the different products in the market. He patiently explains everything in layman's term to aid my understanding. Since then, I will only go to him for my every insurance needs. In 2001.. he is a black haired young man full of zest and passion. Now, he is already a NOT so young white haired uncle! But the Zest and passion remains! Kenneth is just like a "life buoy"- coming to my "rescue" at the darkest and lowest moments in my life.. Thank you Kenneth! For always being so willing to going beyond your call of duty to help!
