Celebrating Togetherness and Well-being at Sun Life Malaysia
Raya Cheer & Togetherness

Sun Lifers celebrated Hari Raya at our HQ office on 9 April, enjoying an afternoon that blended celebration with connection. The programme also recognised our AI champions and featured reflections from our President & Country Head, Ho Teck Seng, on our Q1 business results.

A traditional Raya performance by Senada Tari opened the afternoon on a high note, setting the stage for an engaging programme and the celebrations that followed.

Sun Lifers enjoyed a spread of Raya buffet favourites and festive treats such as rendang, nasi impit, char kuey teow, sayur lodeh and many more. The celebration continued with a lively joget lambak, filling the space with energy and laughter.

The event brought our Sun Life Malaysia family closer, celebrating the values of togetherness, gratitude, and shared joy that define the Hari Raya season. 

High Performance and Caring Culture Wellness Carnival

We launched High Performance, Caring Culture (HPCC) with our Well-being Carnival - a simple reminder that how we deliver matters as much as what we deliver.

HPCC is about how we play to win: we set the bar high, deliver with discipline, and look out for one another so everyone can do their best work.

Across the day, colleagues recharged through bite-sized wellness activities, from Zumba and in-body checks to short massages, with healthy fruit packs and juices available throughout. Additionally, the Engage Life points redemption marketplace added an extra touch of fun and incentive to the experience.

Together, the carnival brought HPCC to life - building energy, connection and everyday habits that support a high-performing, caring workplace.
 
Baju Raya Lama Baharu 2.0 Wraps With 2,933kg Pre-loved Garments Collected
The Baju Raya Lama Baharu 2.0 campaign came to a meaningful close, made possible through the strong support of Sun Lifers, contributors, and valued partners.

Together with AEON BiG, FedEx Malaysia, and KLOTH Cares, the campaign successfully collected 2,933kg of pre-loved garments, equivalent to 5,000 sets of Baju Raya to be shared with those in need. This marks a significant increase from approximately 3,500 sets collected last year.

Each contribution, big or small, played a part in bringing joy, dignity, and a brighter Raya to communities across Malaysia. The campaign is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose — turning simple acts of giving into meaningful impact.

Sun Life Malaysia Leader on the Panel: What’s Next for Malaysia’s Health Insurance Market
On 14 April, our President & Country Head, Ho Teck Seng joined industry peers, Tricia Appaduray (Chief Compliance and Sustainability Officer, Berjaya Sompo Insurance), Amran Hassan (Chief Strategy Officer, Etiqa) and Mok Wan Kong (Partner and Head of Insurance, KPMG Malaysia) at the Asian Banking & Finance and Insurance Asia Summit 2026 to discuss the direction of Malaysia’s health insurance market.

In addressing how the industry responds to innovations and shifting consumer behaviour and digital transformation, he highlighted two key takeaways: growth must be built on trust and loyalty and earned consistently at every touchpoint, especially digital. 

Secondly, industry players need to make protection easy to understand to reach more Malaysians, because how we explain protection shapes how it is understood and valued. These insights reinforce our focus on making protection more accessible, easier to understand and relevant to Malaysians’ everyday needs.
