| When was the last time you received kindness from somebody? When was the last time you extended an act of kindness to someone else, and to what end? As it turns out, there can be tremendous merits and outcomes in paying forward a kindness received with a good deed to somebody else, especially when done out of gratitude. The concept of "Paying It Forward" is nothing new, but in our world, I believe we could do with more compassion and selflessness as it brings out the best in us. | | The Art of Paying it Forward Without Spending a Dime When we pay it forward we commit an act of selflessness that transcends our connection to other humans on the planet, elevating the human experience in a positive way. Whether it’s a showing of kindness, faith, or even compassion, it all makes a difference and can potentially trigger a chain reaction of reciprocated behavior. | | The Power of Altruism Classical economics adopts a model that says people are primarily driven by material self-interest. Political science assumes that people are driven to maximize their power. But this worldview is clearly wrong. In real life, the push of selfishness is matched by the pull of empathy and altruism. This is not Hallmark card sentimentalism but scientific fact: As babies our neural connections are built by love and care. We have evolved to be really good at cooperation and empathy. We are strongly motivated to teach and help others. | | The Paying it Forward Paradox | Wayne Baker | TEDxUofM  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones. Let me know if I can be of help to someone you know or care about. We can make a difference to lives when it matters most.

© Jacqueline Tan, All rights reserved. | |  | | 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!!! | |  | | Elaine Lau, Banker (Client since 2019) If I were to describe the impression that Jacqueline gives me, I would say - "I never knew what a good agent is like, until I know Jacq"
I am a non believer of insurance due to bad experiences in my early years. I steer clear when I hear the word insurance. However, Jacq changes everything.
She is not just my trustworthy agent, she is also a friend. Jacq is patience in listening to your needs and gives you timely and the best professional advices for you and your family.
Jacq is highly efficient and always there when you need her. She is extremely helpful, caring, attentive, always with a smile and very knowledgeable in her expertise of work.
Undoubtedly, Jacq is the BEST insurance agent one could ever have, and a true gem in this industry.
You never know how good your insurance and agent are until you need them, and both are outstanding in my case. | |  | | 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. | |  | | 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! | |  | | Eric Chua, Finance Manager (Client since 2003) I got my first policy from Jacqueline since 2003 after I got my first job since I completed my national service. She was introduced by a friend who had full of compliments of her service and professionalism. Since then, there was no turning back, I bought more policies from her and even for my kids. I did supported a few friends from other insurance companies but none of them is as responsible as Jacq and AIA remains the most efficient in terms of processing any claims.
Over the years, I will not hesitate to introduce Jacq to my peers or families whenever they need help with their insurance.
She is the best agent around and still going strong! Truly appreciate her assistance all these years.
08 Feb 2023 | |  | | Candy, Andy & Family (Client since 2014) Jiajia is my husband’s childhood friend. I’ve known her for close to 20 years and she has been our trustworthy insurance agent for about 10 years. Although she just started with AIA when I first got to know her, she has never tried selling anything to me. We only approached her when we were expecting our first child. Ever since, she has been promptly answering queries, efficiently handling our claims and diligently updating us with the changes in policy terms. Whenever we are faced with issues, she will always be there ready to help and giving us assurance. She will reiterate, “Anything, just call. No matter how late, just call.’ She also ensures that we are adequately covered within our means. Her experience and professionalism is indisputable. She always uphold herself with pride and integrity. We are so blessed and thankful to have her as a close friend and taking care of our policies. Jiajia is the BEST!! | | | | |
