Empowering Youth with Financial Literacy at UPM Serdang
As part of our ongoing mission to boost financial literacy through the InsureLit Campaign, we continued the journey with the second leg of the InsureLit Youth Programme at the School of Business and Economics, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Serdang on 30 October 2025. The session brought together financial education, health awareness, and interactive engagement for a truly holistic learning experience.
We connected with more than 203 students through a morning of hands-on activities that strengthened their understanding of financial concepts while encouraging healthier living. The highlight was the InsureLit board game session — an engaging way to learn about earning, saving, spending, and protecting. Students also enjoyed wellness-related activities, including a healthy oat snack demo and a health check conducted by BookDoc, along with personalised financial consultations by our Advisors.
The session also featured an engaging financial talk by Ziet Invest, a popular personal finance YouTuber; Yi Xuan, founder of No Money Lah; and Liyana Hisham, a former TV presenter and clinical psychologist. Together, they shared practical insights on managing personal finances, understanding insurance and takaful, and planning for long-term financial goals. Their session encouraged active participation and meaningful discussions, leaving students with a clearer and more confident grasp of real-world money management.
Adding to the fun, students had the chance to ‘Spin the Sun’ to win exclusive Sun Life Malaysia merchandise and other goodies. The day ended on a bright note, with students leaving more informed, inspired, and ready to make smarter financial decisions for their future.
Empowering Future Leaders through Financial Literacy at the Axiata Digital Leaders Programme
The room buzzed with energy as Sun Life Malaysia, a proud corporate partner of the Axiata Digital Leaders Programme (ADLP) for Youth, joined the final bootcamp session at Hotel Espira Kinrara, Puchong. As one of Axiata Foundation’s flagship initiatives under the Education pillar, the four-month programme aims to develop young professionals into future-ready leaders through mentorship, business exposure, and digital skills training.
As a corporate partner, Sun Life Malaysia brought financial literacy to life through an engaging InsureLit board game session with 64 youth participants. Guided by our Sun Lifers, the session turned financial literacy into a fun and interactive experience — helping participants better understand Sun Life Malaysia, while learning key financial concepts such as budgeting, saving, and protection. The energy was high throughout as laughter, teamwork, and “aha!” moments filled the room, showing that learning about money can be both meaningful and enjoyable.
Beyond facilitating the board game session, Sun Life Malaysia took on the role of subject matter experts, guiding participants through a real-world business challenge designed to spark creative, practical solutions. Our CCDO, Victor Cheong, and Head of Product and Pricing, Nicholas Lee, together with our Sun Lifers, floated among the teams to share insights on insurance, takaful, and financial planning. The interactive exchanges helped the participants better understand the importance of financial protection — and how small, informed choices today can lead to brighter futures tomorrow.
