Inside the Wellness Event That’s Changing the Way Malaysians Think About Health and Wealth
This past weekend, Sun Life Malaysia turned The Agam into a buzzing hub of wellness and financial empowerment, drawing in 350 curious minds for its inaugural ‘Sun In The City Wellness Fest’. The two-day event was more than just a wellness retreat—it was a celebration of holistic living, where financial health met mental care and physical prowess in a fusion of workshops, discussions, and activities designed to rejuvenate mind, body, and wallet.
The star-studded festival, graced by the presence of Sun Life Malaysia’s senior management, alongside celebrities and influencers like Dynas Mokhtar, Yazmin Aziz, and Puteri Zarith, gave participants an exclusive taste of what it means to live a balanced, fulfilling life. From financial seminars to yoga with cats (yes, you read that right), the event was as diverse as it was enriching.
Cultivating Mental Care Through Simple Joys
One of the weekend’s standout experiences was all about finding peace through the little things. At the Fragrance Lab by 8to8, guests indulged in a bespoke Perfume Workshop, crafting unique scents that spoke to their souls. This was no ordinary DIY session—it was a journey into self-discovery, one scent at a time. The workshop was complemented by a personalised Colour Analysis session with Color Me Beautiful, boosting self-confidence by revealing each guest’s most flattering hues. To top it off, the Coffee Appreciation Workshop, led by the experts from Kenny Hills Coffee, turned morning brews into moments of zen.
Enhancing Physical Prowess with Wellness Sessions
Day one of the festival kicked off with an irresistible blend of yoga and furry friends. Jojo Struys, a yoga guru with a knack for tranquility, led participants through a ‘Yoga with Cats’ session, where the purrs of feline companions added an extra layer of calm. The next day, the vibe shifted gears as guests got their hearts pumping with FLYJAM’s high-energy cardio dance class, led by the ever-energetic MimiFly. Whether guests were stretching into their zen or dancing their worries away, the festival offered something for every fitness enthusiast. Plus, with health assessments by BookDoc, attendees left with a better understanding of their physical well-being.
Instilling Financial Literacy to Achieve Financial Bliss
But Sun Life Malaysia wasn’t just focused on physical and mental health; they were equally committed to helping Malaysians get their financial house in order. The Financial Bliss panel, featuring experts Dr. Adam Zubir and Aznah Abas, didn’t just talk numbers—they brought financial literacy to life. Moderated by Rizal Kamal, this 45-minute deep dive into savings, investments, and insurance was anything but dry. And for those who learn best through play, the InsureLit board game turned financial lessons into fun, hands-on experiences.
Fun and Fulfilling Experiences for a Truly Holistic Life
The Sun In The City Wellness Fest wasn’t just about workshops and talks; it was also a playground for creativity and relaxation. Guests got crafty with DIY bracelet making at Twilly Beads by Twilly Treats and pampered themselves with quick hair blowouts at COCOdry. The festival grounds were dotted with lifestyle booths like Lumi Beauty and Fatto Catto, offering everything from skin revitalization products to adorable pet accessories. And let’s not forget the food—because what’s a festival without some delicious bites? Guests savoured treats from Kenny Hill Bakers, Hello Frozen Yogurt, and more, ensuring that every sense was satisfied.
Wrapping Up the Weekend
Sun Life Malaysia’s ‘Sun In The City Wellness Fest’ was more than just an event—it was a movement, encouraging Malaysians to pursue holistic well-being in all its forms.

With a successful first run under their belt, Sun Life Malaysia has set the stage for future events that will continue to inspire and empower. Here’s to a brighter, balanced tomorrow!
