Auntie Emily has been and will continue to be my go-to insurance agent, as her passion and sincerity in taking care of our financial future shines through her work, she goes the extra mile and ensures that we truly understand the plans that we chose to participate in, whilst also catering specialised plans for different members of our family.
Apart from being an insurance agent, Auntie Emily continually exposes us to different career pathways through attending the events that she recommended, and also gives us advice beyond that expected from the usual insurance agent. She is the embodiment of service from the heart and will definitely brighten your life!
Dear Auntie Emily, I am deeply grateful for the advice and opportunities that you have extended to me and my family, thank you very much for being a shining torch along our journey! | | | | Tan Wee King (Ms)Professional Nurse Award 1995Commonwealth Foundation Award 1999Inaugural President's Award for Nurses 200030 years Community Service Award Hi Emily,
I believe my journey with you, which started during one of the lowest points in my life, will go far.
My husband had got himself a rare policy in order to support his ex-colleague – Emily Lim. A kind deed deserves another. When he passed on in 2016, Emily impressed me with her efficiency with a human touch when she helped process the policy claim. We had been friends since.
Emily has been a financial advisor to me like none other (I have four or five others). She keeps in touch intrusively. From her casual sharing, I hear of how she befriends her clients who need help and would go out of her way to assist, often what even family members would do.
I was touched by her concern for her staff, coaching them and giving them a leg-up when necessary, beyond work to their spiritual needs. Her role-modelling of attending to persons as a total fellow human being with multi-faceted needs would be helpful to those who are willing to learn from her.
As I age, I’m confident that I have a companion in Emily, as a friend and financial consultant who would be ready to assist and advise when necessary.
I thank God for you, Emily. May He continue to show you favour and anoint you with His love. | | | | Roger ChenFinancial Consultant, Prudential Hi Everyone,
Putting People First - is certainly the best way to describe my leader, Emily.
Emily is a leader who always have people’s interests at heart, she is always willing to go the extra mile for people who requires help, I have never heard her rejecting people’s plea for genuine help, this is especially rare in a world where many people are used to be self-centered, focusing only on their benefits.
From this selfless trait she has, I have learnt to be generous with people and to be sensitive to people’s well-being.
Towards her own associates, she has also never stopped finding ways to groom her associates to be the best version of themselves even if it risks sounding like a stern parent at home because she only wishes to see her associates prosper and do well in life as she believes that each of us, no matter which starting point we are at, will have the potential to be better and she never gives up on us even if we ourselves may have given up on ourselves. If you are seeking a leader who can inspire you to be become the best version you can be, Emily is the one to look for! | | | | Ong Kok FongTeacher, Ministry Of Education Hi All,
Emily is not just my insurance agent. She is a wonderful friend who helped me and my family by rendering her help to us as our most needy time.
She analysed the existing policy that we are holding and would recommend what we need to us.
My greatest appreciation from her came when my mother was ill. Emily helped my family and I so much. From ferrying my mother to treatments, to lending us her car for our usage when she’s out of town. I always asked myself, which insurance agent would do that?
After my mother passed on, she helped us with the process to file for claims and such. Not just for the claims to her company but other insurance companies as well. We would be lost without her careful guidance.
Apart from being my insurance , she had also helped to monitor the funds I had, ensuring that I would not suffer any losses.
Emily is not an agent who goes to her clients for business purposes only. She wants the best for her clients within their comfortable budget. She is not someone who pushes for business for her own sales volume. she would be the first person available when the need arises.
Emily is a very caring, she would do all she could to help anyone in need. Knowing that life is tough for me as a single mother, she often checks on me to make sure I m well. When she knows my children want to be exposed to the financial consultant field, she immediately offer to take them in and enroll them in any available platform.
I’m so grateful to have Emily as my one and only trusted agent and my personal friend. | | | | Ong York ChinRetiree Hi Everybody,
Time flies, I have been insured with Prudential for almost 30 years, approached by Emily Lim, my good friend. I knew her when she was working in MINDEF. Over the years, I and my children are insured with Prudential. Besides, I also invest in Prudential products which are introduced by Emily.
Emily is a cheerful, friendly and resourceful agent, especially because I've had problems recently to get a hospital bed for my husband and engage a helper to assist me in taking care of him. She assisted me to get the wanted items FOC and a suitable maid within a short time frame. I am grateful to her.
Currently, she is in charge of all my Prudential products. When any of my policies mature, she will remind me. I am thankful to have such a responsive agent. | | | | Kwa Eng KiatBusiness Development, Digital Dream Hi Everyone,
Emily has been providing us with tip-top and excellent service throughout the many years that she has been our insurance agent. Her quick response and professional advice has always been appreciated by my wife and I as well as our family.
Emily's extensive knowledge and experience in the financial planning/insurance industry is of great importance to us as she provides sound advice for our insurance requirements.
Through the many years, we have become more than agent/client. We are close family friends now. | | | | |
