A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As we embrace the new year, it may help to remember that the turning of the year doesn’t call for grand plans or perfect routines. Instead, it invites calm, adaptability, and trust in small, consistent steps. The collection of articles gathered here speak about the value of steadiness over speed, flexibility over force, and provides a quiet assurance to just keep going—even without clarity.

Mei Ying & Terence

We met Ruth to review the multitude of insurance policies that we already had. Having bought them some time ago, we were unsure of our existing coverage and wanted to know if they were adequate and how we could make plans for our growing family. Ruth explains our policies in a way that was so easy to understand and recommended us policies that catered to our specific needs. She has also been really approachable and prompt in responding to any questions - important qualities anyone would want in an financial consultant! We have nothing but compliments for her and would highly recommend her to friends and family!

Julie Wulandari. Nurse

For someone so small, she is BIG on: Responsibility Understanding Trust Helpfulness Ruth is patient and sincere in wanting to help me plan for my future, but also understanding my needs for the present. Most importantly, the warmth she exudes assures me that I can rely on her if ever I need help. I definitely made the right decision with Ruth.

Dr Michelle Kam. Ministry of Health

I was introduced to Ruth when I wanted to know more about insurance policies. The first meeting with her was very educational and made me aware of the blind spots in managing my finances and planning for the future. She has been really patient in explaining all the basics of insurance and financial planning in a very clear and concise way that is easy for the layman to understand. Her advice is tailored to meet my needs and she goes above and beyond to help every step of the way. She is quick to follow up on any questions that I have and is always just a text away. I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with financial planning.

Simon & Tiara Fischer

We have been searching for an insurance provider for the past 3 years and always came out feeling frustrated as most Financial Consultants are not knowledgeable in the products we were interested in, instead pushing us something that we don’t need. We were introduced to Ruth by a mutual friend who switched her insurance policies to Ruth after her dad had a stroke. She went through a medical scare and I saw firsthand how Ruth helped her and provided an excellent service. Ruth provided something other Financial Consultants didn’t in the past - she cares. When our daughter was born, we decided to approach Ruth to propose a plan and recommend products for our child’s future. We are impressed with her insights and touched by her dedication. We cannot recommended her enough.

Joann Ong. Manager

I like that Ruth is genuine, honest and patient. She doesn’t hard sell, but instead she suggests the best possible plans that cater to my needs. She is very precise in her presentation and is always able to breakdown complex topics into simplified conversation. I would recommend her to my family and friends.

Erik Lane

I am very lucky to have come across a consultant like Ruth. She has been very professional, reliable and has proven to be very trustworthy in our dealings. She also happens to possess a fantastic sense of humor (which of course, I appreciate tremendously). But in all seriousness, Ruth is very dependable and always has my back, despite the hour of the day. She has proven this on more than just one occasion. I would recommend Ruth highly as I do not know of a more professional consultant amongst those that work with my peers.
