Manulife Singapore brought around 3,000 customers, partners, distributors and their loved ones together at Resorts World Sentosa on 12 September 2026 for the inaugural ManulifeMOVE Carnival, an event focused on helping people live better and healthier for longer.
The carnival brought together two connected experiences, the Longevity Experience Forum and Longevity in Motion. The programme combined expert discussions on longevity with activities focused on physical movement, mental well-being and shared experiences across generations.
The event reflected Manulife’s view that longevity is about more than simply adding years to life. It also involves maintaining health, building financial confidence and having the support needed to make the most of those years.
The Longevity Experience Forum explored how decisions made today can influence future health, independence and quality of life. Benoit Meslet, President and CEO of Manulife Singapore, opened the forum by encouraging participants to consider how their current choices could shape their future energy, freedom and sense of purpose.
Professor Dean Ho of the National University of Singapore shared insights into how the body’s interconnected systems contribute to resilience. His session translated scientific findings into practical considerations around movement, sleep, nutrition, stress management and recovery.
A panel discussion moderated by media personality and host Diana Ser brought together perspectives on health and financial readiness. Award winning actress and Founder and CEO of Fly Entertainment Irene Ang, PBM, joined Frank O’Neill, Chief Product Officer of Manulife Singapore, and Dr Steven Tucker, Founder of Tucker Medical, Singapore and Medical Director of Cedars Sinai International, Singapore. The panel covered topics including early detection, future independence and decisions that can help protect quality of life.
The forum concluded with a guided mindful reset led by breathwork expert Tan Chun Yih before guests moved into the Longevity in Motion experience.
Longevity in Motion featured activities organised around three themes, MOVE, MIND and JOY. The interactive zones were designed to make well-being more active, social and accessible for people of different generations.
Guests could also take part in the ManulifeMOVE Carnival Longevity Passport Programme, which connected activities across the three zones. Participants who completed activities in each area could unlock exclusive rewards and surprises, encouraging families to explore different aspects of well-being together.
The ManulifeMOVE Carnival builds on Manulife Singapore’s Longevity Symposium held the previous year and the enhanced ManulifeMOVE programme launched in 2025. The carnival marked a move from industry discussions around longevity towards a more immersive experience for customers and their families.
ManulifeMOVE is Manulife’s flagship health and lifestyle programme, covering healthcare, fitness and wellness, lifestyle privileges, legacy planning services and community engagement. Through the platform and experiences such as the carnival, Manulife aims to encourage customers to take practical steps towards healthier, more active and financially confident lives.
The initiative also forms part of Manulife’s broader longevity efforts through the Manulife Longevity Institute, a global platform focused on research, thought leadership, innovation, advocacy and community investment aimed at supporting longer, healthier and more financially secure lives.
