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.

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.

Jasmine Ho

Ruth takes time to look into what you have and tries to value add, often putting herself in the shoes of her customers and recommending only what she feels is essential. Thanks to her, I know I am adequately covered in the event something happens to me!

Jerome Koay

Ruth was my ex-colleague on the same team many years ago. We reconnected when I found out she had joined Prudential and I needed some help with reassessing my financial goals and status. Ruth is professional, reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. She is also always empathetic and takes time to understand the financial goals I want to achieve and matches the different financial tools available with a high level of professionalism. If you are looking for someone who is here for the long haul and someone who takes time to understand your needs and helps you to achieve your goals, I would definitely say that Ruth is the person to go to. Wishing her all the best success!

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.

Nurhana Binte Ismail. Public Service Officer

If there is one thing I know about Ruth, is that she is someone I can trust and depend on. From letting her “fly” me in acroyoga poses, to handling my financial plans - I know that I’m always in good hands! She has been a great friend, “cheerleader” and inspiration in our yoga journey together over the years, and I’m proud to watch her grow and thrive, not only as a yoga teacher, but also as a rising Financial Consultant!

Dr Claris Shi. Ministry of Health

I usually shy away from Financial Consultants but Ruth was so friendly and genuine, and didn’t laugh at my lack of financial planning knowledge! She took time to go through all my policies and identified areas where I needed coverage. She definitely goes above and beyond her call of duty and is so easy to talk to when I have any questions.
