It’s A Wrap for Brighter Wellness Programme 2022
As a brand championing healthier lives, Sun Life Malaysia has curated various programmes and educational content to help individuals improve their financial wellness as well as mental and physical fitness.

On 10 December 2022, we hosted the grand finale of our signature Brighter Wellness Programme, in partnership with OhanaJo Studio, an award-winning Yoga & Sound Healing Centre founded by celebrity wellness icon, Jojo Struys.

Held at the Glass Space, Menara Ken, TTDI, 77 participants experienced gentle body stretching yoga and relaxation breathwork practices, accompanied by the soft sounds of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, and gongs.

Brighter Wellness is a 6-month wellness programme, which ran from June – December 2022, featuring a string of experiential wellness initiatives to help people take better care of themselves – financially, mentally and physically. During the year, we reached out and impacted 817 people through this Programme.
 
Lots to Cheer About at Christmas & Ole Ole Ole FIFA Finale Party
Christmas celebration came early this year when our HR team hosted its annual Christmas and Year-End Party on 16 December 2022 at Sun Life HQ office, with M floor and 1st floor car park being decked out with enchanting festive decorations to bring on the year-end holiday vibes.
Joining the ongoing FIFA World Cup excitement, the highlight of the event was the Ole Ole FIFA penalty kick competition – where 16 participating teams competed in a friendly inter- department match. All teams fiercely strike their best shoot out, but Selera Park PC team came out on top! Sun Lifers were also spotted in jerseys of their favourite football teams.
Additionally, Sun Lifers were treated to a variety of games, quizzes and a delightful spread of food and drink selection, making it a fantastic way to bid 2022 goodbye.
Here’s wishing everyone a peaceful and joyous festive celebration and a Bolder and Brighter 2023!
