As a brand championing sustainability, Sun Life Malaysia recognises the importance of building a more inclusive and sustainable society. As part of the event, the Company announced its continuous partnerships with HOPE worldwide Malaysia on youth social impact projects; a long-term tree planting programme with Yayasan Hijau Malaysia, and a collaboration with United Voice to empower people with learning disabilities.

The Dreams Zone featured Sun Life Malaysia’s advisors, who offered personalised advice to help attendees meet their financial and protection needs.
At the Games Zone, attendees enjoyed games of basketball and mini golf, which encouraged them to stay active and healthy. Four brand partners, Famous Amos, The Olive Tree, Jungle House, and Juice Works, offered product showcases and special discounts in the Treats Zone. Members of the public also had the opportunity to witness live weaving demonstrations by talents from United Voice to create a range of unique and personalised items, including keychains, pouches, and bags.
With so much to see and do, it was truly a jam-packed roadshow filled with fun and excitement. Popcorn was given away to satisfy attendees’ sweet tooth, while face painting, giant Jenga, table football, and balloon art entertained the little ones. Additionally, a Kombi van at the roadshow provided an excellent photo opportunity for the crowd to capture all the enjoyable memories with their friends and family.
