On 1 October, about 170 Sunlifers gathered for the HR People & Culture Day 2026, where learning, wellbeing and engaging activities came together under one roof.
From health and wellbeing sharing sessions by MiCare and SOCSO to informative booths by EPF and SOCSO, Sunlifers discovered useful resources, picked up practical tips and learned more about the support available to them. They also had the opportunity to unwind with massages by visually impaired therapists, which created a meaningful opportunity to support the underserved community, alongside a photo booth and other engagement activities that allowed them to relax, recharge and take a refreshing break from their daily routine.
Whether exploring employee benefits, catching up with colleagues or simply making time for themselves, Sunlifers enjoyed a rewarding day that also showcased the many initiatives in place to support our wellbeing and bring to life our High Performance and Caring (HPCC) culture.
The Agency Final Sprint 2026 session brought together 110 agency leaders and advisors on 7 October, at the First Avenue branch office, to review business performance and gear up for the year-end push.
The session was led by Frankie Leung, Chief Agency Officer, Sunlife Asia, and Vincent Nga, Chief Agency Officer, Sunlife Malaysia, who shared updates and key focus areas as the agency force enters the final quarter of the year.
Participants benefited from experience-sharing by advisors who attended the MDRT Global Conference in Sydney, Australia, in August 2026 and the Asia Pacific Advisors (APA) programme in Greece in September 2026, gaining valuable insights and best practices. The event also recognised advisors who qualified for the “Make It Count” Challenge, a campaign held from July to September 2026 that encouraged advisors to increase their case production through monthly and quarterly targets, with an exclusive customisable Sunlife jacket awarded to those who met the requirements.
A new chapter began on 16 October as Sunlife introduced its refreshed global brand identity, featuring a new logo and tagline, "Making life brighter." While our look is evolving, our purpose and commitment to helping Clients achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives remain the same.
To mark the occasion, Sunlifers received exclusive merchandise featuring the new logo, along with yellow macarons.
As the refreshed brand will be rolled out in phases, you may still see the current logo on some platforms and materials for now. Stay tuned for more updates from Brand & Communications!
More than 50 Sunlifers rolled up their sleeves on 20 October to support the Sunlifers Blood Donation Drive, organised in collaboration with the Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM).
Held as part of the industry's annual blood donation initiative, the drive gave Sunlifers a chance to help replenish blood supplies for patients in need. It was also a timely reminder of the important role regular blood donation plays in meeting healthcare needs in our communities.
Thank you to everyone who took part and made the drive a success. We hope to see even more Sunlifers step forward at future drives as we continue making a difference, one donation at a time.
Sunlifers had a special opportunity on 26 October to hear directly from Alanna Boyd, Sunlife’s Senior Vice-President and Chief Sustainability Officer during her visit to Malaysia.
In a fireside chat with Sunita Pillai, Head of Sustainability, Sunlife Asia, moderated by Shaun Chan, Head of Sustainability, Sunlife Malaysia, Alanna shared Sunlife's sustainability strategies and how it is being integrated across the organisation. Sunita added perspectives on priorities and progress across Asia, highlighting why sustainability must be embedded in the way we do business.
The session also featured a talk by Jacklin Juanis D'Billique, an ESG corporate consultant, on the impact of climate change in Malaysia, with practical actions we can all adopt at work and at home. Together, the sessions showed how collective action can build a more sustainable future for our communities and generations to come.
