In celebration of International Women’s Day 2024, Sun Life Malaysia partnered with Tatler Malaysia to be one of the main sponsors for the prestigious Front & Female Awards 2024 which honours women trailblazers steering progress for women and girls in Malaysia.
Taking our commitment to promoting financial inclusion for women to the next level, we also sponsored the inaugural ‘Financial Empowerment Award,’ designed to recognise an inspiring women leader who is making significant strides in advancing financial security for women.
This sponsorship seamlessly aligns with our ongoing #InsureLit campaign, dedicated to equipping people with crucial insurance and takaful knowledge, fostering positive financial habits, and guiding them towards a financially-fit future.
Nuraizah Shamsul Baharin, the visionary founder of MADCash, was announced the recipient of this prestigious award during an intimate dinner ceremony held on 7 March at The Silver Monkey, Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park.

Later in the afternoon, our top 70 leaders gathered for an exclusive session with a special guest – Ms Vivian Zhuo, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), Sun Life Asia. The stage was turned into a forum of insightful discussions about ways to cultivate a vibrant organisational culture that will fuel Sun Life's continued success.
Adding to the sense of Ramadan month celebration, our CEO surprises everyone with a special Ramadan treat of Mahbub's signature dish, Briyani Ayam.
We wish everyone an advance "Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya". May this Raya month fill your life with the brightest of colours and joy!
