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.

Cavis Tan, Producer (Client since 2011)

My husband is Jacqueline's friend for more than 30 years and I was introduce to her after and has been a client for more than 12 years and counting. Thank you for all your patient assistance during the state of confusion and helping us bundle everything together. Insurance is a very time consuming task and you helped put us at ease to the best plans. Most agents wouldn’t answer a phone call on a beautiful Saturday morning or wee hours of night when my kids are in the A&E department and i will be calling Jacqueline on these “special hours” for her advise. We appreciate your experience and expertise to help the family save money on the policies towards our needs. You are more than measured up to the “5 Star” rating. I will highly recommend you and your company to others for their insurance needs.

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.

Sharon Eng, Administrator (To 20 years before (I think!), and 30 years more.

I cannot remember when I started with Jacqueline but I will focus on the recent years. She has been nothing but heartfelt during my cancer stint. Her concern for her customers always stem from her heart. Her tenacity to make sure we are well taken care of in times of personal needs goes beyond selling insurance. When my father passed in 2022, Jacqueline was again there for me, helping me sort out insurance issues with the hospital so I can focus on the living and giving me time to grieve. Once again in later 2022, I had to go through a minor surgery and she took it upon herself to find me a suitable surgeon and followed through with claims and her personal touch of “after care”. I have more memories of how she touched my heart but I will save them for future testimonials. Agents are a dime plenty, but it is AIA’s honour to have someone like Jacqueline on their team. Thank you Jacqueline.

Chloe Aw, Creative Director of Escapade Studios (Client since 2012)

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. Her ability to clearly explain the policies and ensure they were tailored to my needs was truly reassuring. It is a great comfort to know that my insurance matters are in the hands of someone I trust and respect.

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

Angie Phua, Founder of Aglamoras Beauty Sg (Client since 2019)

Thank you Jacq! Known Jacqueline since 2018. As I'm always skeptical over life insurance and I only had certain coverages over my medical. She explained to me what is needed and she would base on my comfortable budget and needs to recommend what is the best for me. Thus, over the years. Relationship eventually grew between us and we are just like good friends and does not even felt like she was my agent. I would not hesitate to recommend my friends to her. I just wanna say thank u Jacqueline for everything and keep up to ur good work and you are the best!!!
