A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Jac has been both a trusted friend and an exceptional insurance agent. She assisted me in setting up my accident and hospital insurance plans with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail.

Christine Yue, Founder of Lor Bak Mama & Business Consultancy (Client since 2012)

Jacqueline has been a close personal friend for over 20 plus years. When I knew she was going into financial planning, I did not hesitate to go with her as my agent and have never looked back since. Jacq is caring, responsive and goes out of her way for clients. I have recommended many friends to her over the years. Now she helps me with my child's policy and I am very thankful I have someone trusted with me all these years. She is my no. 1 agent and a great personal friend that you can trust wholeheartedly.

Bernard Tan, Business Development Manager (Client since 2003)

I opined that the insuring of ourselves, and in some cases our loved ones, are one of the many things that a responsible adult should always plan to do. There are just too many dramatic real-life cases of detrimental occurrences, telling us of the financial and emotional meltdowns we could bring to our family, should we have not insured ourselves during times when misfortune knocks on our doors. Also, we thought it is important that we do not just insure ourselves thoroughly, but to also conduct the same with a reliable underwriter which possesses sound track records, and with a seamless claims process. I have known Jacqueline for slightly over 30 Years, and had since 2 decades ago entrusted the whole insurance portfolio of my family with AIA, through this uniquely dedicated insurance agent & friend. Jac had been through with me and my family, at our various life stages; from the time when I was just married with a kid, till the later season when my 2 kids are in their teens, and now when my wife and I are in the midst of concluding our retirement. I remember vividly, that Jac would often be with me, or with my children to the hospital/clinics, so much so that she was, almost always, mistaken to be my wife, or my kids’ mother. Jacqueline was, and had always been with us when we got ourselves into such trouble. She is our go-to person when we need financial & security advise, the first person to come to mind whenever we encounter injuries, and incidents of any kind. While I may not be the best testimony to a well-trusted and dependable financial planner (I do have many to compare with), I am thankful that we to have Jac with us all thru’ these many years. We have heard of many stories that would bring bad reputation to the occupation; nonetheless, we are blessed that we are served by one who serves with a heart, who is considerate about our circumstances, mindful of our needs and always proposing solutions that best meet our needs, while not forgetting the depths of our pockets at the same time. I am delighted that I have chosen AIA; if I am given a chance to choose again, I will most certainly do the same, through Jacqueline nevertheless, to have AIA as our trusted insurance partner and provider. 05 Feb 2023

Irene, Kenny & Family, Business Owner (Client since 2006)

Jacqueline or rather Jia, I prefer to call her. We been friends for 30 over years and she has been my agent for more than 20 years. She helped me with my financial investments and the investments done, have helped me to claim my 1st title deed from HDB. When we started our family, we entrusted her with our all our insurances for our family. Not saying this because she is friend but she has done many things beyond what a friend or agent can or have done. Once our whole family were out for overseas trip, our gate decided to malfunction and open on its own! We only know it at 12midnight that our house is wide open, unattended, I called her to help and immediately she dashed out of her house (after a long day of work and already in her PJ preparing for bedtime) to rush to mine to help us to lock the gate! She had also attend to my crazy midnight or dawn break last minute insurance requestsssss.. helped to design and build insurance plans that are within our comfortable budget. Most importantly she grow with our family. Thank you for being so dependable and reliable! I promise more last min requests and crazy stuff for you and counting!
