Reviews from participants:
“Soh is an excellent teacher who explained concepts with examples and genuinely connected with his trainees. His goal was solely to help debunk myths.” – Priya
“Mr Soh is such a good teacher who makes a financial dummy like me understand the key and important concepts of financial investment.” – Ms Loo
“I didn’t expect to find CPF this interesting… but here we are 😄 Spent Saturday at a CPF & Financial mastery workshop and was honestly surprised by how engaging it was! Chin Heng explained the key concepts and suddenly the whole system felt a lot more intuitive. CPF is one of those systems that follows us through almost every major life stage — housing, healthcare, retirement. It is a clean example of goal-based planning in action. People tend to complain about CPF early on and count down to when they can finally take their money out. Having met a number of people in their 50s and 60s, I found that many will end up relying on it more than they expected. At the same time, it also clicked for me that CPF was never meant to be the whole story. While it covers the essentials well, you need to build beyond that foundation if you want more flexibility, comfort, and options in life. If you’ve been meaning to better understand how you can optimise your CPF, I’d genuinely recommend attending one of the sessions! Or if you prefer a casual chat, happy to talk things through anytime. Always nice when something familiar suddenly clicks 😌” – Chong Rong, Financial Consultant
“Mr Soh explained the CPF complex schemes clearly well and has provided very good advice on financial planning and investment products. The class has attained deep understanding of the complex CPF Schemes. Staff are also very helpful to the class. I gave Mr Soh and the staff a 6 star rating. It is a must for people to attend this course and gain the knowledge of CPF Schemes and financial planning! 👍 👍 👍” – Matthew Lim

Taking Care of Your Heart Talk
On 20 September, Hope Centre organised our 3rd community talk — Heart Talk — featuring Clinical Associate Professor Ching Chi Keong, Senior Consultant with the Department of Cardiology, and Director of Electrophysiology and Pacing, as well as Director of Quality Management at the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS). During the session, Professor Ching shared valuable insights on heart health, helping participants better understand common cardiovascular conditions and diseases, early warning signs, and practical steps to maintain a healthy heart. The talk also covered lifestyle tips to empower attendees with knowledge to take proactive care of their wellbeing.
Overall it was an informative and engaging session which truly helped the community.
