“With the right values, no matter what happens, you’ll be a success.”

It’s a statement that’s easy to say, but how do you actually live it, year after year?

DBS Bank | Ep 7: Sumiko Tan – Reinventing yourself after decades in one career

"We go to senior centres to busk. They dance along, even those in wheelchairs. That’s our purpose: to bring happiness and encouragement to others."

Meet Gillian and Davidson, better known as Silver Hype – the electrifying duo in their sixties who’ve taken Singapore’s streets (and social media) by storm. What started as a bold idea, to pursue an unusual musical career post-retirement, has become a movement that’s challenging stereotypes and rewriting the narrative of what ageing can look like.

In this special, concert edition of Game On!, they join national kitefoiler and DBS brand ambassador, Max Maeder, for a heart-to-heart chat over a spirited round of Scrabble, about their journey from working more conventional jobs to discovering a new rhythm later in life - busking round town.

From giving hope to those afflicted with illness, to reminding others that it’s never too late to chase a passion, their story reminds us that purpose doesn’t have an expiration date – it simply evolves. DBS is proud to support a future where every person, at all stages of life, can age with dignity, purpose and joy.
