Strategic Partnership with HKCTA Set to Elevate Tennis Development and Promote Health and Longevity in Hong Kong
HONG KONG SAR- Media OutReach Newswire – 7 August 2025 – Humansa, Asia’s premier health and longevity centre, is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of Chubb UTS Hong Kong 2025 with Humansa, marking a significant milestone in its strategic partnership with the Hong Kong, China Tennis Association (HKCTA). The collaboration highlights Humansa’s dedication to advancing tennis as a scientifically validated approach to longevity while introducing innovative health solutions that benefit athletes and fans.
Humansa Supports Tennis: A Science-Backed Approach to Longevity
At the core of Humansa’s support for tennis lies our mission to extend healthspan and lifespan through evidence-based innovation. Tennis has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective activities for longevity, with research indicating that participating in regular exercise such as tennis can potentially add up to 10 years to a person’s lifespan.[1] This remarkable benefit stems from tennis’s unique combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise that enhances cardiovascular health and muscle strength, its high-intensity interval elements that improve metabolic function, and its inherent social engagement that reduces stress and supports cognitive health.
By championing tennis in Hong Kong, Humansa reinforces its commitment to promoting scientifically validated longevity strategies, establishing the sport as a fundamental component of our wellness philosophy.
A Shared Vision for Tennis Excellence and Longevity
Humansa is collaborating with HKCTA in positioning Hong Kong as Asia’s premier tennis destination. This comprehensive partnership extends beyond tournament sponsorship to include youth development programs that nurture junior talent, elite athlete support systems focusing on performance optimization and injury prevention, and community engagement initiatives that promote tennis as a lifelong health activity. The alliance represents a shared vision to elevate both the sport and the health benefits it delivers to Hong Kong’s community.
Mr. Michael Cheng, President of the HKCTA, said, “Our overriding mission is to promote tennis as a lifelong sport and to foster its growth across all levels in Hong Kong. Our vision is to build a dynamic tennis community while reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a leading sports and major event hub and tourist destination—driving Hong Kong’s mega-events economy and establishing the city as a must-visit destination for regional and global travelers. The partnership with Humansa supports our efforts in highlighting the long-term health benefits of tennis and bringing greater visibility to the sport of tennis, whilst inspiring greater participation in sport across the whole community. “
“Humansa’s commitment to evidence-based wellness and longevity complements our goal of encouraging more people to embrace tennis, not only as a competitive sport but also as a sustainable lifestyle choice.”

Etiqa’s Project Firefly Reinforces Mangrove Ecosystem in Sungai Panjang in Collaboration with Malaysian Nature Society
Through Etiqa’s Project Firefly, Etiqa is taking proactive steps to preserve and sustain the ecosystem by planting 130 Sonneratia Caseolaris or locally known as Berembang saplings and 200 Sonneratia Caseolaris seeds, undertaking habitat restoration works, and mobilising 50 Etiqa volunteers for a community-driven initiative along Sungai Panjang, covering a total stretch of 10 kilometres. In addition, an awareness session was conducted by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Faculty of Science which aimed to educate participants on the ecological importance of fireflies and the need for long-term conservation.
Fireflies play an important role as indicators of mangrove ecosystem health, which in turn supports environmental balance and benefits surrounding communities. However, across Malaysia, firefly populations are declining due to rapid habitat loss caused by river pollution, deforestation, and increasing light pollution along mangrove-lined rivers. These threats not only endanger native species but also affect the livelihoods of local fishermen and villagers who rely on healthy river ecosystems and firefly-based eco-tourism. Protecting congregating firefly zones through the preservation of adequate vegetation buffers along riverbanks is therefore critical to ensuring the long-term survival of these species and the sustainability of local livelihoods.
Fukhairudin Mohd Yusof, CEO of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad (EGIB) said, “We initiated Etiqa’s Project Firefly as conserving native firefly species is deeply connected to the well-being of the communities that co-exist around them. By conserving firefly habitats, we are not only protecting an irreplaceable part of Malaysia’s biodiversity but also helping sustain the eco-tourism and river-based livelihoods of Sungai Panjang residents. This reflects Etiqa’s purpose in Making the World a Better Place that includes meaningful environmental action which strengthens both nature and society, creating long-term value for future generations.”
Mr. I.S Shanmugaraj, Executive Director of Malaysia Nature Society says, “Fireflies are natural indicators of a healthy mangrove ecosystem, and their presence reflects the overall condition of our rivers and surrounding environments. We commend Etiqa for taking proactive steps through Etiqa’s Project Firefly to address the growing threats of habitat degradation along fireflies corridor. Meaningful conservation requires collective action, and we hope this initiative will inspire more companies to collaborate with environmental organisations and local communities to protect biodiversity while supporting sustainable livelihoods for the long term.”Hashtag: #Etiqamy
