Did you know buying property in Singapore is a 5-move strategy—and most people stop at move one?
In this episode, I sit down with Farhan Adenan, a proud Malay-Singaporean who’s helping everyday people rethink what property really means—and how it can help them build long-term financial freedom.
We talk about what it’s like growing up Malay in Singapore, breaking out of cultural expectations, and how he’s reshaping the way his community sees ambition, ownership, and wealth.
He also opens up about the realities of being a new real estate agent—the stigma, the pressure, and why choosing purpose over transaction has not only elevated his chances of success, but also changed his life.
This episode is about identity, property, and building something bigger than yourself. I hope it finds you exactly when you need it.
