For the first 5 years of Edmund’s career, he was an Air Force regular. Though he proudly served the country, he felt there was little opportunity to progress. This led to the decision that to accomplish more in his life, Edmund needed to step out from his comfort zone and explore other career options.
The golden opportunity arrived when a good friend explained what a career in Insurance industry could provide, namely, an excellent platform for growth, job satisfaction and personal development. The major push factor came when Edmund’s mother was diagnosed with major stroke that his father has to give up his job to take care of his mother. Edmund, coming from a low income family and both parents without insurance, struggled financially to keep up with his mother long term medical cost. With that, Edmund realised the importance of insurance. Ultimately cementing his decision to become part of the AIA family and helping others with their financial security.
After taking the leap of faith in March 2012, he has never looked back. 9 months into his journey, he has qualified for top 5 in his category, rising as top financial planner in 2012 and 2013 consecutively. From 2014 onwards, Edmund has attained MDRT (an international association for Top Financial Planners) the million dollar club consecutively year after year. In 2018 and 2020, Edmund has attained Court of the table (COT) and recognised as one of the top financial consultant in the world. These awards and personal milestones serve as his daily motivation, to constantly learn, improve, and work towards a better future for himself and his valuable clients. Today, Edmund is leading a dynamic team as a associate director and he wish to help those who trust him to pursue their dreams and be successful in this business.

Mao Lim and Lee San, Accountant
I know Edmund for a long time, almost coming to 10 years by now. So if I were to describe him in a few words as a financial advisor, it will be prompt and reliable. I think these two words are the most important attributes for me in entrusting someone to help me with my financial decisions. Not only he knows his stuff well, he also keeps me updated with regulation changes that might affect my existing policies. There are times when I go to him knowing exactly the product that I would like to add on but I also appreciate that he coming to me on the new launches or solutions which I don’t really have in my existing portfolio. Personally I am very comfortable with Edmund and over the years I have recommended him to my close friends not only because I trust that he will take care of them the same way he does with me but also believe that he could guide my friends to make the most appropriate decisions for their financial situation. Thank you.

Velda and Ronnie
I don’t like cold calls from agents and my own protocol when dealing with them is always – I’ll call you (when I need help/info); not you call me. But there is no certainty in life –
Edmund is one of the rare time when he cold called my wife and we decided to give him the opportunity from how he has conducted himself professionally despite not knowing will he get any business from us. This was a few years ago – we’ve since managed part of our family insurance portfolio with his expertise.
Leong, Accountant
Edmund carried out his work professionally and able to explain the product effectively. Although we do not know each other for very long, but he appears to be very sincere and definitely not the pushy type of agent. If not, I would not have put my business with him. I feel he is those rare kind of agents who can be trusted. His advice is well thought and articulated. I think it is very important for the agent to explain in simple context especially insurance is such a heavy topic. I am glad that he was able to helped and motivated me to make the right financial decision. I am happy to take on the policies with him. I have already referred my friends to him and will confidently continue to do so. Thank you.
