Sun Life Malaysia believes the growth potential in Malaysia's family takaful category will continue strong, owing to increased knowledge of takaful, digitalisation, and government efforts.

Chief executive officer and president Raymond Lew said that despite the challenging operating environment of the pandemic, the company firmly believes the Malaysian insurance and takaful industry is on an upward trend.
