13+ years. MDRT 7×. COT 2×. RM 4M+ in claims. RM 59M+ portfolio. 500+ families protected. Here is the evidence.
In an industry where anyone can become a licensed insurance agent in 6 weeks, how do you know who to trust? Who will actually be there for you when your child is in the ICU? Who will fight for your claim when the insurer pushes back? Who will still be your advisor in 20 years?
These are the right questions. Here are the answers — backed by real credentials, real numbers, and real stories from my clients in Penang, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, and Seberang Jaya.
The Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) is the premier organisation of financial advisors worldwide. To qualify, an advisor must meet strict annual production requirements — typically in the top 1% of all advisors globally. In Malaysia, thousands of agents try each year. Only a small fraction qualify.
Keith Tew has qualified 7 times. This is not a lucky year — it is consistent, sustained excellence over more than a decade.
COT is MDRT's elite tier — requiring 3× the MDRT qualifying production. Globally, fewer than 1,200 advisors (out of 57,000+ MDRT members) achieve COT status annually. Keith Tew has achieved COT twice. This places him in the top 0.2% of financial advisors worldwide — a standard recognised internationally.
Within AIA Malaysia's own advisor recognition system, the Premier Presidential Life Planner is the highest tier — reserved for advisors who demonstrate exceptional production volume, persistency (client retention), and professional standards over multiple consecutive years.
This is not an entry-level certification. It is earned through years of consistent performance and client commitment. Keith Tew holds this designation.
Awards and credentials are meaningful. But what matters most is: will this advisor actually help me when I need to claim?
Keith Tew has personally facilitated over RM 4 million in insurance claims for clients in Penang, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, and Seberang Jaya. These include:

Keith Tew manages a portfolio of clients whose total sum assured exceeds RM 59 million. This represents the total life protection coverage he has arranged for hundreds of families across Penang and Malaysia. It reflects the depth of trust his clients place in him — and his ability to design and manage large, complex insurance portfolios.
Many insurance agents come and go. The industry has a notoriously high dropout rate — most agents leave within the first 3 years. Keith Tew has been in continuous, active practice since May 10, 2013 — over 13 years of consistent client service.
Why does this matter? Because your insurance advisor needs to still be here in 20 years when you have a major claim. An advisor who joined last year may not be around when your cancer treatment begins or your spouse passes away. Longevity is a form of trustworthiness.
Keith Tew has developed particular expertise in:
Keith Tew is physically based in Penang. He is available for face-to-face meetings in Penang island, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, and Seberang Jaya. When his clients are hospitalised at local hospitals, he visits them in person. This level of personal service is not available from a call centre or online insurer.
Keith Tew actively creates insurance education content in English and Mandarin for the Malaysian community — through TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. His content demystifies insurance concepts, explains claims processes, and helps Malaysians make better financial protection decisions. This commitment to public education reflects his genuine belief that financial literacy saves lives.
"Keith didn't just sell me insurance. He's been my advisor for 8 years — he reviewed my plan when my second child was born, when I bought my house, and when my husband was hospitalised. He's always there. The cancer claim he facilitated for RM 156,000 was settled without a single issue."
"I've recommended Keith to 11 people in my family and circle. Every single one of them is grateful. His knowledge of medical cards, pregnancy insurance, and hibah is unmatched among the advisors I've met. He's not just an agent — he's a financial guardian."
"When my father had a stroke and needed emergency hospitalisation in Penang, Keith was there in 2 hours. He handled everything — admission, AIA authorisation, daily updates. We never had to worry about the paperwork. The RM 43,000 claim was settled within 3 weeks."
