Start your weekend right with Glenn van Zutphen and his interesting mix of guests from 9am to 12noon. Be informed and entertained with news commentary with international journalists and interesting places to visit in Singapore with award-winning author Neil Humphreys’ Beautiful Places.
🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide Angle Segment, David Black, CEO Blackbox joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to dive into one of the most quietly explosive shifts happening in Singaporean life: the collision of AI overload, tech fatigue, and the RTS link’s billion‑dollar gravitational pull toward Johor Bahru.
Singaporeans are exhausted from the micro‑aggressions of tech that now shadow every moment of work, home, and play. As David puts it, tech is “in your face all day long,” and AI risks becoming just another layer unless it replaces work, not adds to it. Younger workers? They’re embracing AI while quietly fearing it may automate them out of the very jobs they’re helping build.
Then comes the upcoming RTS: a five‑minute ride from to JB from Singapore that could siphon an estimated $290M to $1B in retail and F&B spending across the Causeway. Singaporeans see opportunity; businesses see threat. And what about JB’s strained infrastructure?

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Singapore Home Brew Segment, Lim Su Pei joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to discuss one of the most meaningful arts‑and‑community projects happening in Singapore today.
The non-profit OH! Open House, with its 16 years of site‑specific art, has spent the past 18 months in Singapore's Punggol area asking a powerful question: Can a community actively build its own cultural memory before it disappears?
Deputy Director Lim Su Pei unpacks how OH! has been working with long‑time residents, embedded artists, volunteers, and community partners to uncover stories that predate Punggol’s “model town of the future” narrative: fishing villages, pig farms, seaside restaurants, kampungs, and families whose memories are fading as the estate modernises.
Through conversations, artist residencies, volunteerism, and participatory artworks, OH! transforms everyday spaces into living archives where personal histories are shared, experienced, and preserved.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Journalist Timothy McLaughlin joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen.
Scam syndicates aren’t just a regional menace anymore, they’re industrial‑scale operations with human trafficking at the core. As Tim puts it, “victims all the way down.” With this week's Forest City raid netting 335 arrests just across the Causeway in Johor Bahru, the conversation digs into how these networks are mutating, decentralising, and slipping into apartment blocks instead of compounds and why Southeast Asia has become a frontline for the FBI.
Then it’s straight into the geopolitical firestorm: Saudi Arabia’s 14‑nation maritime alliance, the forgotten but still‑lethal Red Sea conflict, and how Trump’s Iran war has dragged global shipping, Asian mariners, and petrol prices into the blast radius.
From Japan’s first intelligence agency since WWII to the chaotic churn inside Trump’s administration, plus the still‑explosive Epstein files.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Leaders in Action Segment Popsicle Asia Founder Maureen Knight joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to spotlight a Singapore business solving a problem some overseas travellers face: why buy expensive winter wear that may be used only once?
Founded in 2014, Popsicle Asia has grown into a resource for families heading to cold‑weather destinations. It rents high‑quality jackets, ski pants, boots, gloves, and accessories for adults, children, and toddlers making winter travel more affordable, convenient, and sustainable.
Maureen explains how she focuses on personalised service, fast response times, and guiding first‑time snow travellers through exactly what they need.
We explore why Singaporeans are increasingly choosing to rent rather than own. Maureen also shares leadership lessons from building a niche business, staying resilient, and serving customers with empathy.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Alex Capri, Author, Adjunct Senior Lecturer, NUS joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to discuss the US–Saudi nuclear power deal, a landmark agreement that could reshape Middle East energy strategy for decades. Capri explains why Washington is betting on civilian nuclear partnerships and what this means for regional stability, proliferation risks, and America’s long‑term influence.
Then to the Red Sea, where Yemen’s Houthi forces claimed attacks on two Saudi oil tankers. Capri breaks down the strategic implications: chokepoint vulnerability, insurance spikes, and how non‑state actors are increasingly shaping global energy flows.
We also dive into the Petro‑State vs Electro‑State calculus and how countries like Singapore must rethink energy strategy as data‑centre demand explodes. Who powers the compute? Who builds the infrastructure? Capri explains why China’s dominance in electrical systems and grid‑scale hardware matters more than ever.
And finally, Singapore’s role in the AI memory‑chip story from Micron’s US$7B fab investment to the rise of SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron as indispensable partners to NVIDIA.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Senior Advisor, Charlie Brown, joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to go deep into one of the world’s most dangerous geopolitical flashpoints: the Strait of Hormuz.
Brown explains why the latest US–Iran deal is wobbling, why Trump’s retreat on Hormuz tolls signals deeper strategic uncertainty, and how Iran continues to leverage the world’s most critical oil chokepoint to pressure global markets. Also why he believes this is just part of a global war on shipping and how seafarers and Asia at large are all suffering the fallout in this "new normal".

🌍MoneyFM 89.3’s Home Brew segment, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen speaks with HomeMatch Co-founder Mervin Foo about a problem that's tormenting many Singaporeans... bad building and renovation contractors and the ensuing nightmares. From disappearing contractors to unfinished homes and ballooning delays, renovation disputes have surged — with CASE reporting 1,300 complaints in 2021, nearly S$2 million in losses last year, and 97% involving non‑accredited firms.
Foo believes the industry’s trust problem is systemic and solvable. HomeMatch is Singapore’s first renovation‑matching platform built like a “dating app,” pairing homeowners with interior designers based not just on budget and style, but communication habits, personality, lifestyle, and family needs.
And the game‑changer: a S$1 million HomeMatch Protection Fund, contributed by renovation firms and HomeMatch itself, covering up to S$150,000 if a contractor collapses, disappears, or abandons a project. No escrow fees. No insurance add‑ons.
Mervin explains why traditional accreditation schemes aren’t enough, why scams keep happening, and how compatibility‑based matching reduces disputes before they begin.

🌍MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Brotzeit Managing Director Carsten Kjeldmann about Brotzeit's 20th anniversary and the leadership lessons behind one of Singapore’s most enduring F&B brands.
Carsten’s journey spans 30 years across Europe and Asia, from restaurants and resorts to senior hospitality leadership. For two decades in Singapore, he’s balanced German culinary heritage with local tastes, building Brotzeit into a household name.
We explore the new 20th Anniversary Menu, available until 26 August, and how Brotzeit continues evolving while staying true to its roots. Carsten shares insights on talent development, operational discipline, and why hands‑on leadership still matters in a fast‑changing F&B landscape.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide Angle conversation, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen explores a global travel shift: Airbnb’s original promise is breaking down. Once the darling of travellers seeking authenticity, value, and human connection, Airbnb now faces rising complaints, higher prices, stricter rules, and a trust gap that’s widening worldwide.
Dr Natt Srinara from EHL Hospitality Business School, explains how Airbnb’s early magic (real homes, real hosts, real hospitality) has eroded. What used to be cheaper than hotels is now often more expensive. Cleaning fees, checkout chores, and inconsistent standards have frustrated travellers. And the platform’s shift toward professional operators has diluted the “live like a local” experience.
Srinara breaks down what travellers really want now, why hotels are regaining ground, and how hospitality must evolve to restore trust and value.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Ethan Wu, Asia business & finance editor at The Economist joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to unpack a week where geopolitics, markets, and social tensions collided across continents.
We begin with the collapsed Iran ceasefire, which sent oil prices climbing as US–Iran negotiations faltered yet again. With supply disruption fears rising, Ethan explains what this means for global inflation, energy markets, and Asia’s economic outlook.
Then we turn to The Economist’s explosive new cover story: Andrey Melnichenko, Russia’s biggest industrialist and fertilizer magnate, warning that Russia faces a looming domestic disaster. Ethan breaks down why his critique matters — and what it signals about Russia’s internal fractures.
Next: SK Hynix, the Korean chip giant riding the AI boom, is exploring a US listing. It’s a move that could reshape global semiconductor competition and accelerate Korea’s rise as an AI hardware superpower.
And finally — a troubling social trend in South Korea: a surge in stalking cases that has sparked national debate about safety, policing, and gender norms.

The Wide Angle, we explore the state of the United States at its 250th birthday — not through punditry, but through the lens ofSteven Herman, veteran journalist, former VOA bureau chief and co‑host syndicated radio host Bill Bernardoni of the new national radio program America at 250: Due Diligence.
Steven explains why he and his team launched a show carried on 50 radio stations across the US, from conservative talk networks to liberal public radio which is rare in America’s polarized media landscape. Their mission: restore constitutional literacy and civil debate in a country where many voters, including seniors, have forgotten the basics of separation of powers.
We dive into the show’s first four episodes:
• What government owes its people
• Whether America needs an Article V convention
• The battle over federal vs. state power
• And the 230‑year fight over the Second Amendment
Steven shares insights from historians, former lawmakers, constitutional scholars and combat veterans that is revealing how America’s deepest arguments echo across generations. A thoughtful, timely conversation about civility, citizenship and the future of the American experiment.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Home Brew Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen sits down with Singapore legend Jeremy Monteiro to unpack Singapore’s jazz surge.
Pianist, composer, educator, and one of the architects of Singapore’s modern jazz ecosystem, Jeremy explains how two decades of institutional support have transformed the scene. Esplanade’s Jazz in July (now in its 19th year), the Mosaic Jazz Fellows, and the Jazz Association Singapore have built a talent pipeline producing internationally placed musicians from Sean Hong Wei (Dizzy Gillespie Band) to Maya Raisha (Queens College) and drummer Yap Ting Wei (Tribeca Jazz Camp).
We explore the rise of three‑generation ensembles, the shift toward straight‑ahead jazz vocabulary, and why young Singaporean musicians are now sounding authentically “New York” before adding multicultural flavours like erhu, tabla or Chinese drums.
Jeremy also breaks down the economics of the streaming era, the reality of hybrid careers, and why Singapore’s venue landscape is stronger than cities three times our size with a new Esplanade jazz club opening later this year.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun CEO APAC Advisors joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen with a Special USA@250 edition.
We start with the USMCA bombshell: the US says it will not renew the landmark US‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement in its current form. this means the trade deal will not receive its automatic 16‑year extension. It’s a major shake‑up for North American trade, supply chains, and regional competitiveness. It has major implications for global markets and Asia.
Then to Singapore, where the US has approved the sale of 67 AGM‑114R Hellfire missiles. The US$22.3 million precision‑guided package underscores ongoing defence ties and Singapore’s long‑term deterrence strategy and the US desire to hedge against China.
We also look at America’s record‑setting July 4 fireworks, where 850,000 pyrotechnics will light up Washington and potentially shower the city with heavy‑metal pollution. Scientists are sounding alarms.
And for our kicker: the couple who scaled the Empire State Building antenna to unfurl a banner about peace and love and then ended up hand-cuffed in custody.

🌍 Asia’s markets aren’t just rising — they’re erupting. On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and Joanna Ossinger, Managing Editor at CNBC dive into the AI‑fuelled financial frenzy sweeping South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. This is the new gold rush, and the “picks and shovels” chips, servers, cooling systems are all made in Asia.
Retail mania is everywhere.
In Seoul, twenty‑somethings are emptying their savings.
In Taiwan, TSMC engineers have become national heart‑throbs.
In Japan, chipmakers are minting billion‑dollar winners overnight.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3 veteran Indonesia watcher Richard Borsuk joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to decode the market jitters shaking Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
Indonesia isn’t in crisis but the warning lights are flashing brigthly. The rupiah is sliding, foreign investors are pulling back, and Jakarta’s once‑rock‑solid macro credibility is wobbling.
Two big shifts are spooking markets:
• Fiscal drift — ballooning subsidies, off‑budget spending, and unpredictable commodity controls.
• Institutional drift — amendments expanding Bank Indonesia’s mandate and raising doubts about its independence.
For two decades, Indonesia’s superpower wasn’t growth — it was credibility. A disciplined central bank. Predictable policy. Investor trust. That foundation is now under pressure. We break down the risks, the politics, and why Singapore and the region should be paying close attention.

🌍 The existential threat is here.
On MoneyFM 89.3’s Polar Explorer Robert Swan OBE joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to discuss the future of the planet.
Swan was the first person to walk to both the North and South Poles; he is now one of the world’s most compelling climate voices.
His message is as urgent as it is uncompromising: Antarctica is melting faster than predicted, sea levels are rising. Singapore, as small as we are, sits on the front lines of global climate risk.
Recorded at The Nanson in Singapore, we explore his extraordinary expeditions, the renewable‑energy breakthroughs he’s championing, and why he believes .the next decade will determine the fate of the world’s most fragile ecosystems.
We connect the dots to Singapore’s reality:
• Rising seas
• Extreme heat
• Energy security
• The race for decarbonisation
Swan’s warning is simple: The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. This is a powerful, inspiring conversation about courage, climate, and the choices that will shape our future.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Joanna Ossinger, Managing Editor at CNBC joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to discuss the many questions around the US–Iran memorandum of understanding, after a planned signing in Switzerland was abruptly cancelled. Iran’s Supreme Leader now claims Trump pursued the deal “out of desperation,” even as the US lifts its naval blockade and insists a framework is still within reach. What’s real, what’s posturing, and what happens next?
Then, a major escalation in Europe. Ukraine has launched its largest attack on Moscow since the start of the full‑scale war, striking an oil refinery and sending a clear message: Kyiv is exercising its right to self‑defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ambassador Kateryna Zelenko says there is “only one path to peace is sustained pressure on the aggressor.”
And finally, China’s Lululemon drum controversy in which a seeming cultural misunderstanding spiralled into a nationalist storm.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show - host Glenn van Zutphen welcome's Singapore's best known reverse graffiti artist after a whirlwind week of publicity and controversy over his street art... the 24-year-old who turned a power washer into a national debate about creativity, rules, and who gets to shape our shared spaces.
Marcus Pang, founder of Gazing Power Wash, has gone from cleaning driveways after a family tragedy to creating giant public artworks across Singapore. His medium? Nothing but water, pressure, and the dirt already on the pavement — a form of “reverse graffiti” that transforms neglected walkways into temporary murals.
But on 5 June his now‑famous Mountbatten MRT artwork was removed by SMRT staff after one complaint. Singapore Police later confirmed he had done nothing wrong — yet the artwork was gone the next day. The incident sparked a national conversation: Is there room for public art in Singapore? And who decides?
Marcus joins Glenn to talk about the moment he realised power‑washing was art, how the controversy exploded his business overnight, and why he believes Singapore can become a global hotspot for sustainable, community‑driven creativity.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show - host Glenn van Zutphen dives into one of the fastest‑growing lifestyle industries in Singapore: aesthetics. Joining Glenn is Dr Paul Yow, founder of Cleo Aesthetic, to explore why beauty has become a mainstream wellness priority and Singaporeans of all ages and backgrounds are investing in their skin.
Cleo Aesthetic calls itself “The Skin Gym”... a place where skin is trained, strengthened, and built over time, not transformed through one‑off fixes.
We explore the booming market behind this trend:
• Nearly $1 billion USD projected market size by 2032
• Over 720 licensed providers in Singapore
• Explosive demand from Gen Z, men, seniors, and medical tourists
• The rise of “lunchtime aesthetics” fast, non‑invasive treatments with no downtime
Dr Paul explains why the stigma around aesthetic care has vanished, how technology is reshaping the industry, and why skin health is becoming as routine as fitness and nutrition.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show - host Glenn van Zutphen looks at how artificial intelligence is transforming one of Southeast Asia’s most important industries.
Ang Yi‑Wei, Chief Product & Technology Officer at PropertyGuru Group explains how AI is reshaping the way consumers search, compare, and make decisions about homes.
PropertyGuru has deployed two major AI engines:
• AIME, an AI moderation system that processes 8 million images a month with 98% accuracy detecting misleading edits and ensuring listing quality at scale.
• GuruGPT, a conversational AI assistant that has already handled 12,000+ queries, helping users navigate housing policies, compare properties, and understand complex decisions.
Yi‑Wei shares how AI is solving long‑standing pain points, from fake listings to confusing regulations, and why Southeast Asia’s property market is uniquely positioned for AI‑driven transformation.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show - host Glenn van Zutphen goes behind the scenes of NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show Asia Pacific, with Vanessa Matthijssen, Asia-Pacific Consumer Industry Lead at Deloitte. They have unveiled their Future of Commerce report and the findings are massive.
She explains why Asia Pacific will drive nearly two‑thirds of the world’s new retail sales over the next five years, powered by 4.3 billion shoppers, 18 megacities, and the fastest‑growing middle class on the planet.
We explore the rise of agentic AI, with adoption expected to jump from 29% to 76% in just two years. Retail leaders believe AI will overtake traditional search by 2026 and that the multi‑step shopping journey could collapse entirely by 2027.
Vanessa breaks down:
• Why AI is no longer an experiment — it’s the operating system of modern retail
• Why organisational readiness, not technology, is the biggest barrier
• Why leadership alignment is now mission‑critical

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen.
We begin with the latest twist in the Iran conflict, where the White House and Tehran are saying there's a US–Iran agreement after weeks of tense negotiations and months of bombing. Will Israel accept the terms? And what happens if the deal collapses?
Then we turn to the biggest business story of the year: SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO, which sent shares soaring 19% and pushed the company’s valuation past US$2 trillion — making Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. We explore what this means for the space economy, AI, and the future of private‑sector dominance in strategic industries.

One of the world’s greatest living artists. One of the most ambitious exhibitions Singapore has ever staged. Sugimoto’s “Form Is Emptiness” is a masterpiece — meditative, philosophical, and visually stunning. SAM Curators Amy Cheng and Angelica Ong walked us through the journey. If you care about art, perception, or time itself… go see this.
On The Wide Angle, we explore one of the most significant art events of the year: Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness, a major exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum running from 29 May to 4 October 2026 — and the first large‑scale solo exhibition of Sugimoto’s work in Southeast Asia.
This ambitious project. Spanning five decades of Sugimoto’s practice, from photography and sculpture to architecture and conceptual art, the exhibition brings together over 60 works across 11 series, including Seascapes, Theatres, Sea of Buddha, Opticks, and Portraits.
We discuss the curators’ experience working with Sugimoto’s team, the philosophical ideas behind the exhibition, and what audiences can expect from this immersive, meditative encounter with one of contemporary art’s most influential figures.

Starting in Washington, where the US House has delivered a rare bipartisan rebuke to President Trump, voting to halt the Iran war. It signals deep discomfort in Congress over the administration’s military strategy. Steve explains what this means for Trump’s foreign policy, the limits of presidential war powers, and how this reshapes America’s posture in the Middle East.
The courts also ruled against Trump in several other key decisions prompting some to say the US checks and balances guardrails are finally kicking in. But Steve doesn't think so.
Then we turn to the FIFA World Cup and how politics and price gouging threaten the matches in Mexico, the US, and Canada.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen* explores the profound spiritual meaning behind Vesak Day, the most sacred holiday in Buddhism.***
Joining Glenn is Venerable Dr. Chuan Sheng, Vice‑Rector and Associate Professor at the Buddhist College of Singapore — a Harvard‑trained historian and ordained monk.
Vesak commemorates three monumental moments in the Buddha’s life: his birth, his enlightenment, and his passing into Nirvana. But beyond the rituals lies a deeper message — one of compassion, mindfulness, and the end of suffering.
We explore the significance of:
🌸* Wisdom & Peace — honouring the Buddha’s teachings of loving‑kindness.***

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen celebrates the long‑awaited reopening of the Malay Heritage Centreon this week's Singapore Home Brew. Now refreshed, reimagined, and ready to welcome a new generation of visitors. Joining Glenn in the studio is Hafiz Shariff, General Manager of MHC, to take us inside the transformation.
The revamped Centre features six refreshed galleries, new visitor facilities, and a powerful new narrative: Dari Rantau Ke Rumah (From the Region to Home) — tracing the evolution of Malay identities from the 19th century to today. Visitors will encounter a wider cast of pioneers, deeper representation of Malay sub‑ethnic groups, and a renewed focus on the contributions of Malay women in education, literature, and the arts.
The refresh also includes five commissioned artworks by emerging and established Malay artists, weaving contemporary expression into historical storytelling.
We explore MHC’s role as the cultural heart of Kampong Gelam, its vision to be the nexus of the Malay community, and the June holiday programmes — from treasure hunts to scent‑making workshops — designed to bring families together. Admission is free for everyone — Singaporeans, PRs, tourists — until 28 June.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen in the Leaders in Action segment, spotlights a powerful partnership tackling one of the most urgent human rights issues in Asia: the fight against violence and exploitation. Joining Glenn are Rae Lee, Executive Director of International Justice Mission (IJM) Singapore & Southeast Asia, and Raj Singh, CEO of Coco Veda.**
For 25 years, IJM has worked with governments around the world to rescue victims, prosecute offenders, strengthen justice systems, and restore survivors to safety. Their mission is bold: rescue millions, protect half a billion, and make justice unstoppable.
We explore IJM’s work across the region — from combating online sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines to fighting forced labour in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Indonesia.
Coco Veda’s partnership with IJM is rooted in shared values: dignity, ethical impact, and community empowerment. Through their LiveWell initiative, Coco Veda is donating 30% of proceeds from selected wellness gift sets to support IJM’s work — turning everyday consumer choices into meaningful protection for vulnerable children.
We discuss the four pillars of IJM’s protection model, the scale of the problem, and the simple actions individuals and businesses can take to help.
Correction: Our interviewee referred to 'nearly 500 million' children were trafficked or exploited to produce child sexual exploitation materials in the Philippines in 2022.
The correct figure is about 500,000 children.
We apologise for the error and have corrected the record. This remains a deeply concerning issue that underscores the urgent need for collective action to protect children from online sexual exploitation.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen discuss a deep dive into Washington’s political machinery and just in time for one of Asia’s biggest geopolitical gatherings: the Shangri‑La Dialogue.
We begin with the mood in DC: what Steve heard from Republicans, Democrats, and the policy insiders who shape America’s global posture. Then we turn to Singapore, where the Shangri‑La Dialogue is bringing defence chiefs, diplomats, and strategists together for a weekend of high‑stakes conversations.
We also unpack Kishore Mahbubani’s provocative G‑2 thesis: the idea that the world may be shifting toward a US–China duopoly. If that’s true, what happens to everyone else? And what does it mean for the global rules‑based order?
And, President Trump attacks artists dropping out of US Freedom 250 concert and says he may headline the event and possibly make it into a MAGA rally.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen is joined in the studio by Robbie Hoyes-Cock and Joseph Bakhsh of Art Vault Asia to preview this extraordinary showcase — Leica’s first oil‑on‑canvas exhibition in Southeast Asia, timed with the auspicious Year of the Fire Horse.
This week on Leaders in Action, we spotlight a landmark moment in Asia’s contemporary art scene: “Fire Horse – The Decisive Moment,” a major exhibition by internationally acclaimed Beijing‑based artist Ma Dongmin, presented by Art Vault Asia in partnership with Leica Singapore.
The exhibition features 23 works from Ma’s celebrated Blue Fire Horse Collection, including new pieces like Twilight Ascension, Radiant Storm, Velvet Thunder, and Celestial Pulse. Ma Dongmin — a three‑time Venice Biennale honouree — is known for his “misty lens” technique, blending Eastern philosophical depth with Western conceptual rigour.
We explore:
🎨 Why the horse is central to Ma’s artistic language
🔥 How the Fire Horse year amplifies the collection’s symbolism
📷 Why Leica chose this moment to enter the fine‑art canvas space
🌏 How Asian contemporary art is gaining global momentum

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Singaporean musician, actor, playwright, Inch Chua. On The Wide Angle, we explore one of the boldest, most emotionally resonant productions on the Singapore stage this year: “Myles – Soulmate in a Box”, a one‑woman musical starring the brilliant Inch Chua, presented by the Singapore Repertory Theatre.
Inspired by Inch’s own experiences with modern dating, heartbreak, and technology, the show follows a woman who — after being emotionally shattered — decides to learn coding and build the perfect AI boyfriend. What unfolds is a story that is funny, raw, contemporary, and painfully honest about the way technology shapes intimacy.
We discuss the creative process, the music, the writing, and the emotional truth behind the show. We also explore the bigger questions:
💔 What does connection mean in an age of algorithms?
🤖 Can AI fill the emotional gaps humans leave behind?
🎭 Why are audiences resonating so deeply with this story?

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with veteran photo journalist and photographer Kris LeBoutillier. This week on Singapore Home Brew, we dive into a fascinating cultural shift: the return of film photography. And not just film — early‑2000s digicams, camcorders, disposable cameras, even flip phones.
Gen Z and younger millennials are exhausted by algorithmic feeds, AI‑generated perfection, and the endless sameness of smartphone photography. They want something tactile, unpredictable, imperfect — something human. And old cameras deliver exactly that.
We explore the three overlapping trends driving this movement:
📸 The Film Camera Revival — grain, blur, light leaks, and the thrill of waiting for your photos.
📷 Digicam Culture — harsh flash, low megapixels, oversaturated colours… now considered cool.
🤖 The Anti‑AI Aesthetic — visual proof that a real person was there.
Kris explains why this isn’t nostalgia — it’s a counterreaction to hyper‑digital life. A mindfulness practice. A creative rebellion. A way to slow down.
Singapore is feeling it too: vintage camera prices are soaring, classes are full, and young creators are rediscovering the joy of intentional photography.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and they discuss Steve's recent whirlwind trip to Washington — and he’s bringing the inside scoop. From Capitol Hill to K Street, Steve checks in with the people who actually shape US policy: lawmakers, strategists, and the power brokers who sit between both parties.
We start with the political mood in DC: what Republicans and Democrats are really preparing for as the US heads deeper into an election year, and how those decisions ripple across Asia.
Then we turn to Singapore, where former President Halimah Yacob has publicly criticised the CEO of Standard Chartered for describing certain workers as “lower‑value human capital” amid AI‑driven job cuts. Steve breaks down why this comment struck a nerve — and what it signals about the future of work.
Finally, we talk about the recent Ecosperity Week 2026, Temasek’s flagship sustainability summit, where global leaders gather in Singapore to discuss Asia’s race toward 2030. What was really accomplished?

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Elisa Mallis, Managing Director at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), and Mike Hardy, co‑author of the new Trends for Global Leadership: C‑Suite Insights Report.
Over the past eight months, CCL conducted in‑depth interviews with business and HR leaders across regions to identify the five leadership trends defining what comes next. We explore one of the most important questions facing organisations today: Has globalisation reached an inflection point — and what does that mean for leadership?
We discuss how leaders are navigating a world shaped by poly crisis — where economic shifts, digital acceleration, geopolitical uncertainty, and social fragmentation collide. Elisa and Mike share insights on the new leadership capabilities required: judgment under ambiguity, alignment across borders, resilience in disruption, and the ability to lead through complexity rather than control it.

The Wide Angle segment takes us across the Causeway to Paws of JB, a volunteer animal welfare initiative helping stray and abandoned animals in Johor Bahru. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Maxine Beak, Lead Volunteer, Paws of JB and Nick Wong, Paws of JB Volunteer. Unlike Singapore, where structured systems, sterilisation programmes, and regulatory support keep shelters stable, JB faces overcrowding, limited funding, weaker enforcement, and chronic medical challenges. Many shelters operate independently, relying solely on donations. Some even resort to expired medication due to lack of resources.
Paws of JB supports these shelters through feeding, cleaning, medical fundraising, and cross‑border adoption efforts — bringing animals to Singapore where they have a better chance of finding a home. Volunteers like Nick and Maxine describe heart breaking scenes: dogs kept in small cages for years, animals deprived of walks, and outbreaks like distemper spreading rapidly due to overcrowding.

This week on Singapore Home Brew, we explore the return of one of Singapore’s most beloved traditions: the staycation. With airfare soaring and domestic leisure travel booming, Singaporeans are rediscovering the joy of recharging right here at home.
MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Oriol Montal, Regional Vice President for Luxury APEC & Singapore at Marriott International, and Annette Lee, actor, comedian, and star of Marriott Bonvoy’s new “Never‑Ending Staycation” campaign... a comedic mini‑series featuring three quirky, distinctly local characters brought to life by Annette.
We discuss why Marriott launched this campaign now, how domestic travellers have become Singapore’s second‑largest source market, and the trends shaping how families, couples, and solo travellers choose their weekend escapes. Annette shares how she created her characters, her take on Singapore’s staycation culture, and the fun behind the scenes.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Barbara Kelemen, Associate Director for Geoeconomics & Global Risks at Dragonfly on this week’s International News Review.
We begin with the Iran conflict, which is now sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Tankers are breaking down under a flood of tainted fuel, supply chains are tightening. Barbara explains how this crisis is reshaping risk assessments for governments and multinationals across Asia, the world’s largest energy‑importing region.
We then zoom out to the global macro outlook, where geopolitical volatility, fragmented regulation, and rising protectionism are creating a more complex operating environment for businesses. Barbara shares Dragonfly’s geopolitical forecast for the second half of 2026, including the flashpoints to watch and the scenarios that could shift markets overnight.
Finally, we look at the APAC impact: how companies in Singapore and across the region are adapting their strategies, diversifying supply chains, and preparing for a world defined by uncertainty.

On Happening This Week, we break down one of the most closely watched diplomatic events of 2026: the Trump–Xi Summit in Beijing.
After two days of pageantry, state banquets, and high‑stakes meetings, President Donald Trump left China declaring he had secured “fantastic trade deals… great for both countries.” But with few details released, the world is asking: What actually happened behind closed doors?
MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Eric Olander, co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The China Global South Project to understand the dynamics.
Trump arrived with a heavyweight delegation of CEOs spanning agriculture, aviation, EVs, and AI chips signalling that trade was the real centrepiece despite tensions over the Iran war. Businesses hoped for clarity on tariffs, especially with the current truce set to expire in November. Instead, the summit delivered warm rhetoric, symbolic gestures, and an invitation for Xi to visit the White House in September.
To help us unpack the substance behind the spectacle, we’re joined by Eric Olander, one of the world’s leading analysts on US–China relations. Eric explains what was said, what wasn’t, and what this summit means for global markets, supply chains, and Asia’s geopolitical balance.

Ambassador Chomicki unpacks the Poland–Singapore relationship, a partnership grounded in innovation, defence cooperation, and shared commitments to stability and open markets. We explore what’s trading between the two nations today and where new opportunities are emerging as Europe undergoes rapid transformation.
He also addresses how Poland’s geopolitical position shapes its diplomacy, and why Southeast Asia matters more than ever to Warsaw. Finally, we end on a personal note: what he appreciates about living in Singapore, and how the city’s dynamism mirrors Poland’s own spirit of reinvention.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Masami Sato, Co‑Founder & CEO of B1G1 to discuss how this Singapore‑based social enterprise is reshaping philanthropy for companies around the world.
B1G1 (Buy1Give1) enables SMEs to embed giving directly into everyday business activities.

With over 396 million giving impacts created across more than 40 countries, B1G1 is proving that small, consistent actions can drive massive global change. Masami shares her personal journey—from teacher to natural food chef to award‑winning entrepreneur—and how her global travels shaped her philosophy of purpose‑driven business and how Singapore companies are using B1G1 to build culture, trust, and long‑term social value.

🌍 It's hard to imagine that up to 100,000 Singaporeans don't have enough to eat each day.
MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ron Stride, Chairman, and Chin Bottinelli, Guarantor at Food From the Heart.
This week on the Singapore Home Brew, we spotlight one of Singapore’s most impactful community organisations to share how the charity is nourishing lives and strengthening social resilience across the island.
Founded in 2003 by Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer, Food From the Heart began with a simple mission: redirect surplus bread to families who needed it. Today, that mission has grown into a nationwide movement supporting 23,000 households and distributing 164,000 food packs annually from schoolchildren to seniors.
We explore the rising urgency of food insecurity in Singapore, where studies show that over 10% of households have experienced difficulty accessing nutritious meals. Despite improvements post‑pandemic, nearly half of affected families report no change in their circumstances. Food From the Heart steps into this gap with sustainable, long‑term programmes designed to provide consistent, reliable support.
From bread runs to community pantries, from volunteer mobilisation to corporate partnerships, this is a story of compassion, innovation, and the belief that no one in Singapore should go hungry.

🌍 This week’s International News Review unpacks the geopolitical and economic developments shaping markets and policy across Asia.
MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ethan Wu, Asia Business & Finance Editor at The Economist.
We begin in Washington, where a panel of judges has struck down President Trump’s attempt to impose sweeping 10% blanket tariffs—a ruling that could reshape global trade flows and corporate strategy at a time of rising protectionism. Then, we look ahead to the highly anticipated Xi–Trump meeting, a pivotal moment for US–China relations with implications for supply chains, technology access, and regional stability.
From there, we turn to Japan, where Toyota’s latest earnings reveal a US$4 billion hit from the war in Iran—but also a surprising bright spot: EV sales are set to more than double next year. With 58% of new cars registered in Singapore now electric, Toyota’s pivot matters more than ever to local drivers and the broader mobility ecosystem.
And finally, a cultural shift in Tokyo: the government is ditching strict office dress codes and encouraging workers to wear shorts amid the energy crunch. What does this say about changing workplace norms in Asia?

🌍This week, the broadcasting world lost a giant — a man whose influence reaches every newsroom, every screen, and every listener tuned into MoneyFM89.3.
Ted Turner was the bold, controversial, visionary founder of CNN; he died at the age of 87 on 6 May 2026. His audacity didn’t just change television; it changed how the entire world receives news.
MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Michael Holmes, former CNN International anchor and correspondent for 28 years from Atlanta. Michael is one of countless journalists who lived Turner’s legacy from the inside. He helps us understand the man behind the revolution — and why Ted Turner’s impact on global storytelling remains unmatched.
From launching the world’s first 24‑hour news channel in 1980 to building TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network and Turner Classic Movies, Turner reshaped global media, sports, entertainment, and even environmental philanthropy. He was called many things — “The Mouth of the South,” “Captain Outrageous,” a disruptor, a genius — but above all, he was a builder of institutions that still define modern journalism. We look at the life and legacy of a man I had the privilege to meet several times during my years at CNN International including a memorable dinner with him when I served as President of the Atlanta Press Club in 2003-2004.

A small sub-segment of "indian food" - Sindi came out of the partion of India and Pakistan. Recently for three nights in Singapore, Firangi Superstar restaurant hosted one of the most exciting culinary collaborations of the year brining Sindi cooking to town. Chef Vicky — one of India’s most celebrated chefs, former Executive Chef of the Queen Mary 2, TV personality, and award‑winning author — presented a deeply personal menu rooted in Sindhi cuisine, the food he grew up eating but rarely cooked professionally.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to break down a fast‑moving geopolitical landscape that is reshaping global markets, diplomacy, and Asia’s strategic posture. We begin in the Middle East, where Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is now fully open (or maybe closed, we're not sure) during the ceasefire, easing immediate fears over global oil supply disruptions. But with tensions still simmering, the world is watching closely to see whether this fragile opening holds. Back home, Singapore is responding to a US probe into alleged forced labour, with the Ministry of Trade and Industry emphasising that Singapore takes such allegations seriously and maintains strict labour standards. Steve explains what this means for Singapore’s reputation, trade relationships, and global supply chain confidence. In Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the United States have signed a new defence pact, signalling deepening military cooperation at a time of rising regional competition. We explore what this means for ASEAN security dynamics.
And finally, a story that has gripped South Korea: "Nuisance Influencer” American YouTuber Ramsey Khalid Ismael — known for provocative stunts — has been sentenced to six months in a Korean prison for disrespecting a memorial to wartime sexual slavery victims.

We explore a huge shift happening inside one of the world’s biggest industries market research and why Singapore companies may be underestimating how fast AI is transforming it. Worth over US$150 billion, the research industry has long relied on surveys, focus groups and weeks‑long studies. But Qualtrics’ latest data shows a new reality:
These AI “digital twins” built from real consumer behaviour, preferences and purchase history can test messages, products and experiences in hours instead of months, without fatigue, bias or drop‑off. Hui Ching explains what this means for Singapore’s banks, healthcare providers and retailers, especially amid a talent crunch in research and analytics.

With tensions already high from the ongoing conflict, Trump’s remarks add fresh uncertainty to an already fragile situation. In Washington, First Lady Melania Trump made headlines of her own, publicly denying any links to Jeffrey Epstein and calling for congressional hearings for survivors, a rare and forceful intervention that has drawn widespread attention. Across the region, China’s President Xi Jinping held a rare meeting with KMT leader Cheng Li-wun, the first such visit in a decade. Both sides emphasized a desire for cross‑strait peace, even as geopolitical pressures continue to mount.

But with the loss of its long‑time title donor in 2025, rising post‑COVID costs, and a cautious corporate philanthropy climate, the festival is now facing a funding cliff. Despite a successful community‑driven campaign that kept the 2026 edition afloat, the current crowdfunding effort has raised just over $9,000 of the $80,000 needed, with the deadline looming on 31 March. Melissa shares why the Fringe matters — its commitment to emerging creators, accessibility for disabled audiences, and its belief that art must remain affordable and inclusive. She also explains what’s at stake if the festival disappears, especially in a year when even major theatre companies are struggling to survive.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys spotlight the women whose courage, leadership, and quiet persistence have shaped Singapore’s story. Joining us in the studio are Dr Shalini Arulanandam, one of this year’s inductees, and Koh Yan Ping, CEO of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO). SCWO is honouring five remarkable women in its 2026 Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame:
• Angelene Chan – Visionary architect reshaping Singapore’s skyline

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys discuss one of Singapore’s most urgent workforce challenges: why so many Gen Z employees feel emotionally disconnected at work — and what companies can do about it. Joining us is Ahteram Uddin, Growth Director for Asia & MENA at Kahoot!, to discuss findings from the newly released "2026 Kahoot! Gen Z Report: Singapore Edition – Transition, Tension, and Talent Retention." According to the report, 51% of Gen Z employees say they feel engaged at work, but a striking 49% fall into the disengaged or “neutral middle” — a vulnerable group that is neither thriving nor fully checked out. This “neutral middle” includes 29% who feel neither engaged nor disengaged, and 20% who report being actively disengaged, revealing a fragile emotional connection to the workplace. The study highlights what Gen Z says they need: more structured onboarding (45%), clearer expectations (44%), and greater access to mentors or peer coaches (40%). They also want training that is more engaging (37%), more interactive (31%), and less passive and time‑consuming. Ahteram explains how gamified, interactive learning can bridge the gap between classroom-style structure and corporate reality — and why supporting Gen Z is now business‑critical for Singapore’s talent‑driven economy.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys spotlight a powerful homegrown initiative reshaping what adulthood can look like for persons with special needs. Joining us in the studio are Jean Chan, founder of Cerebral and the Me2 Centre of Inclusive Arts, and Mabel Lim, Director of Strategy & Inclusive Arts at Cerebral. For many families, the question looms large: What happens when a child with special needs turns 18? The Me2 Centre was created to answer that gap — offering a lifelong, inclusive space where adults with disabilities can continue to learn, express themselves, and build community through the arts. Born from Cerebral’s 14‑year legacy in enrichment and events, Me2 uses the arts not as an activity, but as a transformative platform for confidence, communication, and connection. Their programmes span theatre, dance, visual arts, filmmaking, digital performance, and community living skills — all designed using Universal Design for Learning and strengths‑based approaches. Jean and Mabel share how Me2’s Inclusive Arts and ArtAbilities programmes support both mainstream learners and persons with disabilities, while real‑world showcases, exhibitions, and performances bring their artists into the heart of Singapore’s creative landscape.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys from Sydney’s “No Kings Rally” with a front‑row view of political sentiment in Australia — before diving into a dramatic week of global developments reshaping markets, geopolitics, and Asia’s economic outlook. We begin with the Iran conflict, where reports suggest a 15‑point US peace proposal delivered via Pakistan. But with Tehran dismissing Washington as “negotiating with itself” and Israeli officials calling the plan “beautiful on paper,” prospects for de‑escalation remain slim. Meanwhile, President Trump insists Iran “wants a deal so badly,” adding yet another layer of uncertainty. The effects on countries across Asia are immediate and severe. The war has triggered the largest energy supply disruption in modern history, with the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck pushing governments across Asia into emergency mode. Nations from Japan to India are scrambling to secure fuel, while the Philippines has declared a national energy emergency as shortages ripple through households and industries. We also examine the LaGuardia Airport crash, raising fresh alarms about America’s overstretched air‑traffic‑control system, and President Trump’s latest headline‑grabber: signing US currency and receiving the inaugural “America First Award.”

Lead singer Gerry Cox and banjo player Paddy Troy join us on air, with fellow bandmates Mark Garratt, Conor Walsh, and Karl Taylor performing live in‑studio. Formed by musicians who share a fierce love for The Pogues, the band channels the raw, poetic chaos of Shane MacGowan — whose passing in 2023 reignited global appreciation for the group’s legacy. From pubs to festivals across Asia, they’ve become a must‑see act for anyone who loves raucous Irish energy.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Ambassador Beata Stoczyńska, Executive Director of the Asia‑Europe Foundation (ASEF), to unpack what this unique intergovernmental organisation actually does — and why its work matters more than ever in 2026. Created under the Asia‑Europe Meeting (ASEM), ASEF is the only institution dedicated to strengthening ties between the two regions through dialogue, collaboration, and people‑to‑people exchange. Ambassador Stoczyńska shares how ASEF’s multinational team has delivered over 280 projects with more than 230 partners, connecting policymakers, students, cultural practitioners, academics, and civil society leaders. We explore ASEF’s priorities for 2026, centred on three major themes shaping the global agenda:
1) A human‑centred approach to cooperation and development
2) Digitalisation, and the opportunities and risks it brings
3) The green transition, where Asia and Europe must work together to meet climate goals
Ambassador Stoczyńska also highlights why ASEF’s role as a bridge is so critical today. With geopolitical tensions rising and global challenges becoming more complex, ASEF provides a rare neutral platform where Asia and Europe can exchange ideas, build trust, and co‑create solutions.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys break down a turbulent week in global affairs — one with direct implications for Singapore and Southeast Asia. We begin with the widening Middle East war, now triggering what analysts call the largest supply disruption in oil markets in history, sending crude above US$100 and rattling global supply chains. For Singapore and the region, the impact is immediate: rising energy costs, inflationary pressure, and heightened vulnerability as the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted. ASEAN ministers have already warned of economic shocks, with governments scrambling to conserve energy and stabilise markets. Next, we examine the new US Section 301 investigations, which could lead to steep tariffs on major trading partners — including Singapore. These probes into “excess capacity” and forced‑labour concerns raise the risk of higher duties and supply‑chain uncertainty across Asia, just as the region grapples with energy shocks.
Finally, we turn to the unexpected geopolitical twist in sport: world leaders — including President Trump — can’t agree on whether Iran should play in the 2026 World Cup, sparking global backlash and raising questions about politics overshadowing the world’s biggest tournament.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration
This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys International Women’s Day 2026 with a conversation that goes beyond celebration and dives into the real work still needed to achieve gender equality in Singapore. Our guest is Lim Shoon Yin, Executive Director of AWARE, the country’s leading women’s rights and gender‑equality organisation.
Since 1985, AWARE has been at the forefront of identifying and dismantling the structural, cultural, and economic barriers that hold women back — from workplace discrimination and sexual harassment to the poverty experienced by older women and gaps in reproductive rights. Shoon Yin shares why these barriers persist, how they affect individuals of all genders, and why women continue to bear the brunt of them. We explore AWARE’s multi‑pronged approach: rigorous research and advocacy, education and corporate training through Catalyse, and direct support services via CARE, which provides counselling, legal advice, case management, and befriending for women in crisis. Shoon Yin also discusses the organisation’s ongoing work to shift public mindsets, strengthen laws, and build workplaces where everyone can thrive.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration
Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Joleen Loh, Curator, National Gallery Singapore to talk about their latest exhibit "Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise". The exhibition brings together over 45 major artworks and more than 110 rarely seen archival materials from five groundbreaking Southeast Asian women artists: Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand). Many of these works are being shown in Singapore for the first time. "Fear No Power" is the Gallery’s first comparative exhibition of women artists from across the region, a rare opportunity to see how each artist used art as a form of resistance, social engagement, and collective care. Through performance, sculpture, painting, and mixed media, these women challenged gender norms, confronted political realities, and reimagined the worlds they lived in. Joleen shares how the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and uncover the layered meanings behind each work, from personal histories to national narratives. It’s a powerful reminder of how art can question, provoke, and ultimately reshape the way we see ourselves and our societies.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys unpack a fast‑moving and deeply unsettling set of global developments — from the widening Iran conflict to political shifs inside the Trump Administration and Singapore's global bagel standing! We begin with the Iran war, which has now spilled across Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait, the UAE and the wider Gulf, with hundreds of drones targeting military and civilian sites. The conflict is no longer contained — it’s regional, persistent, and increasingly shaped by cheap, mass‑produced drones that are redefining modern warfare. Steve explains why these low‑cost weapons are so destabilising and what their proliferation means for global security. We look at the political drama in Washington: Kristi Noem’s exit from the Department of Homeland Security and the rise of Markwayne Mullin, a little‑known but fast‑ascending figure now thrust into the national spotlight. Steve explains who he is, why he matters, and what his emergence signals about the shifting dynamics inside the Trump administration. Finally, is Singapore's world bagel standing on the rise?

We begin with a look at Australian politics and the economy, where shifting voter sentiment, cost‑of‑living pressures, and regional dynamics continue to shape the national conversation. We also reflect on the passing of Neil Sedaka, the legendary singer‑songwriter behind classics like Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Calendar Girl, and Laughter in the Rain. Sedaka died at age 86, leaving behind a six‑decade career that produced multiple No. 1 hits and earned him a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Sedaka was a guest on the show in February 2019.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys journey back to one of the most dramatic chapters in Singapore’s wartime history. Joining us in the studio are Goh Chour Thong, Director (International & Museum Relations) at the National Heritage Board, and Jerome Lim, heritage veteran and guide for two of this year’s signature programmes.
For the first time, Battle for Singapore 2026 invites the public to retrace the actual maritime evacuation routes used by civilians fleeing Japanese bombardment in February 1942. The new programme, Passages at Last Light, takes participants across land, sea and even “air”, with special‑access tours to Tengah Air Base—once the first command centre of the Japanese forces. From boat rides along Singapore’s southern waters to walking the same paths taken by desperate families, this immersive experience brings to life the fear, resilience and human stories behind the Fall of Singapore.
Chour Thong shares how NHB curated more than 30 programmes this year—from talks and exhibitions to hands‑on family activities like LEGO “rebuild Singapore” stations at Changi Chapel and Museum. Jerome offers a glimpse into the lesser‑known narratives uncovered in his tours, including the Naval Volunteer Reserve and Cashin House’s role as a witness to invasion.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Christine Fellowes Co‑Founder and Chair of NINEby9, and board director at National Australia Bank and GuocoLand. Christine joins us to unpack the findings of NINEby9’s latest research report, The Moment of Truth: AI and the Future of Women in the Workplace—a landmark study examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping women’s careers across Asia‑Pacific.
Founded in 2021, NINEby9 is a Singapore‑based research and advocacy organisation dedicated to advancing gender equity in the workforce. Christine explains why this moment in the AI evolution is especially critical: early signs already show a regression in women’s career progression, driven by unequal access to training, a widening skills gap, and a disconnect between HR and technology leaders. We explore how AI could either accelerate opportunity or deepen inequality, depending on how organisations respond. Christine discusses the importance of C‑suite alignment, inclusive training environments, and the urgent need to prepare Gen Z women for a rapidly shifting job landscape. She also shares practical actions boards and leaders can take—grounded in NINEby9’s research—to measure progress and build a future where women are not left behind.

Join Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys on the Wide World Segment as they we sit down with Dr Samir Puri, former UK diplomat and author of "Westlessness", to explore one of the most urgent geopolitical questions of our era: *Is global power shifting from West to East—and what does that really mean?*
Dr Puri’s book arrives at a moment of profound global upheaval. With Donald Trump back in the White House, the Russia‑Ukraine war grinding into its fourth year, China’s economic momentum slowing, and far‑right movements gaining traction across Europe, the traditional anchors of Western influence look increasingly unstable.
In Westlessness, Dr Puri argues that while wealth has undeniably been flowing eastward—towards China, India, Indonesia and other rising powers—the story is far more complex when viewed through demographic, military, cultural, and technological lenses. He examines whether the West, long accustomed to setting global norms, will willingly relinquish its privileged position, and whether the East is ready—or even willing—to assume a leadership role in a more diverse, multipolar world.
Nothing about this transition is linear or predictable. Dr Puri helps us understand the forces reshaping the global order and what it means for businesses, policymakers, and individuals navigating an increasingly fragmented landscape.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys step into a world where insects tower over us. Joining us in the studio are Honor Harger, Vice President of the ArtScience Museum, and Foo Maosheng, Curator of the Cryogenic Collection and Insecta Senior Scientific Officer at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. They take us inside Insects: "Microsculptures Magnified", ArtScience Museum’s first major exhibition of the year and the Southeast Asian debut of award‑winning photographer Levon Biss. Thirty seven magnification portraits created in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, the exhibition transform beetles, flies, wasps, and other tiny creatures into monumental artworks up to seven feet tall. Colours, textures, and anatomical structures invisible to the naked eye are revealed in astonishing detail.
Beyond the art, the exhibition invites visitors to dig deeper into the natural world through interactive displays, real specimens, and behind‑the‑scenes insights into Biss’ meticulous photographic process. Maosheng shares how Singapore’s own insect biodiversity—often misunderstood or dismissed as “pests”—plays essential roles in our ecosystems, and how public education can help shift perceptions and even overcome fears.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Tracie Pang, co‑founder of Pangdemonium and director of their latest production, "Force Majeure", opening at the Victoria Theatre from 6–15 March. In this world‑premiere adaptation by award‑winning playwright Stephanie Street, Force Majeure reimagines Chekhov’s Three Sisters for our time. The play follows three sisters and their brother—each yearning for a different life, each wrestling with love, loss, longing, and the quiet heartbreak of dreams deferred. Friends, lovers, and strangers drift in and out of their world, offering hope, disruption, and the possibility of rediscovering life again… even if it means tearing the family apart. With its blend of beauty, humour, and emotional truth, the production speaks to anyone who has ever felt stuck between who they are and who they hope to become.
This premiere marks Pangdemonium’s final year. Tracie reflects on why the company is choosing to close this chapter after 14 years of bold, socially resonant theatre and what it means to end on their own terms.

Steve looks at the political, legal and diplomatic implications of this unprecedented moment, and what it says about accountability among the rich and powerful. We also examine President Trump’s newly launched “Board of Peace”, a high‑profile initiative with many unanswered questions.

Finally, we reflect on the legacies of Robert Duvall, the Hollywood icon behind The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and Reverend Jesse Jackson, a civil rights giant whose influence shaped generations.

With redevelopment slated to begin in the 2030s, NSS has submitted a proposal urging the Urban Redevelopment Authority to retain 31% of the area—389 hectares—as green spaces. This includes forest patches, parkland, ponds, marshes, and one of Singapore’s last large “wild growth” landscapes stretching from the Serangoon River Forest to Tampines Quarry. Why this area matters:
We explore whether retaining a third of the land is realistic, how ecological connectivity can be preserved, and what the trade offs that Singapore must make.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys dive into two centuries of maritime history with Mr Balakrishnan B, Commodore of the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC)—Singapore’s oldest recreational club and one of Asia’s most storied yacht clubs. Celebrating its 200‑year milestone, RSYC’s history reads like a sweeping Singapore epic: royal visits from British monarchs, daring WWII escape voyages, long‑lost trophies rescued from wartime chaos, and the club’s remarkable post‑war revival. Commodore Balakrishnan shares how RSYC not only survived the Japanese Occupation but went on to shape sailing as a national sport—producing Olympic sailors, founding key sporting bodies, and hosting Singapore’s longest‑running regatta. We explore the club’s evolution from colonial-era prestige to a modern, inclusive maritime community. From its architectural heritage and multicultural leadership to its role in nation‑building—marked by President Yusof Ishak becoming its first Singaporean Patron in 1967—RSYC mirrors Singapore’s own transformation. Commodore Balakrishnan also offers a look at RSYC today: its marina, hotel, sailing programmes, community initiatives, and the vision behind its #RSYC200 Bicentennial celebrations, including the Charity Gala attended by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Sit‑Down on the Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys speak with the trio behind one of Singapore’s most influential storytelling powerhouses: Peh Shing Huei, Aaron Low, and Sue‑Ann Chia, co‑founders of Nutgraf. What began in 2015 as a small “writers‑for‑hire” outfit run by three former Straits Times journalists has grown into an award‑winning strategic content agency trusted with some of Singapore’s most significant political biographies—including the two‑volume autobiography of former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, Neither Civil Nor Servant: The Philip Yeo Story, and a long list of national‑level publications. The founders share how a simple business model—just the three of them writing everything themselves—evolved into a 23‑person agency producing videos, social media campaigns, strategic communications, and thought‑leadership content. Along the way, Nutgraf became the go‑to team for capturing complex policy stories, institutional histories, and the personal journeys of Singapore’s political heavyweights. We explore how they earned the trust to tell these stories, what it takes to write about leaders who shaped the nation, and how content consumption has changed over the past decade.

Rob and Maria share their journey running full marathons to raise funds and awareness for cancer research, and Lincoln completed 7 half‑marathons in honour of his father and to support Parkinson’s research. They all reflect on the physical and emotional toll of racing from Antarctica to Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and North America—all within a single week. Their story is one of grit, purpose, and the power of community.

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys shine a spotlight on a powerful new film anthology that brings dignity, nuance, and humanity to one of Singapore’s most urgent social issues: dementia. We’re joined by Don Mendoza from Dementia Singapore, Michelle Chua, Executive Producer at the Lien Foundation, and filmmaker Gavin Lim, director of Another Go (重围).
Together, they introduce “A Singapore Dementia Story”, a collection of five short films premiering at Temasek Shophouse. Featuring a stellar local cast—including Tan Kheng Hua, Lim Shi‑Ann, Peter Yu, Alaric Tay, Onn Shu Ann, Suhaimi Yusof, and A. Panneeirchelvam—the anthology explores the lived realities of dementia through genres as varied as romance, comedy, animation, drama, and thriller.
We discuss how these films challenge stereotypes, reveal the unseen emotional labour of caregiving, and portray dementia not only as a medical condition but as a deeply human experience. From Gavin Lim’s uplifting drama Another Go, to Andie Chen’s romantic‑comedy‑infused What Day Is It?, each film draws from real stories and extensive conversations with caregivers and persons living with dementia.

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we tackle a deeply overlooked and often misunderstood issue: men experiencing spousal and other forms of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. In the studio are Nick Jonsson, men’s certified coach, supervised psychotherapist and counsellor, and Zina de Mercey, psychologist‑in‑training at Counseling Perspective. Nick and Zina explain why many men—especially those in senior or public‑facing roles—suffer in silence. Stigma, shame, and fear of reputational damage often prevent them from seeking help. Many worry they will be seen as the perpetrator rather than the victim, or that speaking up could jeopardise their careers, credibility, or even access to their children. They also highlight the emotional toll behind closed doors: isolation, high‑functioning distress, and post‑Covid coping behaviours such as increased alcohol use. In highly conflicted relationships, children are often caught in the middle, sometimes used—consciously or not—as leverage, creating unsafe family dynamics. Zina brings a holistic therapeutic lens, while Nick draws on years of supporting executives and leading men’s groups in Singapore. Together, they discuss why early intervention, peer support, and psychologically safe spaces are essential for prevention and healing.

This week on Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Brian Slattery, CEO and Founder of Teamwork Unlocked, and former Head of Culture Club at Google, for a refreshingly honest look at what really happens inside teams when different brains, strengths, and cognitive styles collide.
Brian’s journey—from building Google Singapore’s legendary in‑office board‑game café to designing escape‑room‑powered leadership programmes—reveals how unconventional environments can expose hidden team dynamics far more effectively than traditional workshops. His late ADHD diagnosis also gives him a unique lens on leadership quirks, communication gaps, and the psychological safety teams need to thrive. Teamwork Unlocked now uses custom‑built escape rooms to observe how teams behave under pressure: who steps up, who withdraws, how decisions are made, and where trust breaks down. These insights form the basis of immersive programmes that help organisations strengthen collaboration, improve conversations, and unlock performance. Brian shares why many teams struggle not because of strategy, but because of unspoken assumptions, mismatched working styles, and a lack of shared language around trust. For adults navigating hybrid work, new teams, or leadership transitions, this conversation offers practical, human‑centred tools to build teams that actually work.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Curtis Chin, Chair of Global Fellows and Senior Advisor for Global Markets at the Milken Institute, for a grounded, insider’s look at Thailand's National Election at a pivotal moment. With this vote, headlines have focussed on party politics—but Curtis, who grew up in Thailand and has lived there again since 2012, takes us deeper. He unpacks the structural challenges shaping Thailand’s long‑term trajectory: the rise of scam centres, worsening pollution, a rapidly ageing population, and a tourism sector struggling to regain its pre‑pandemic momentum. These pressures have fuelled the narrative of Thailand as the “sick man of Asia,” yet Curtis argues there is far more nuance beneath the label.
We explore how demographics, governance, and regional competition are reshaping Thailand’s economic prospects, and what the election outcome could mean for investors, businesses, and Southeast Asia more broadly. Curtis also shares personal reflections from years of observing Thailand’s evolution—from Bangkok’s shifting urban landscape to the resilience of its people and private sector.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack a series of politically charged stories reverberating across the globe. We begin with President Trump’s latest remarks endorsing Japan’s push for greater defence autonomy and his call for “Republican‑run” or “federal‑run” elections—comments that have triggered intense debate in Washington and among America’s allies. We then turn to Trump’s controversial post on Truth Social, widely condemned as racist, which has reignited questions about political rhetoric, social media responsibility, and the boundaries of public discourse. Steve also examines the global fallout from the newly released Epstein files, which continue to send shockwaves through political and business circles in the US, UK, and beyond. With new names emerging and old questions resurfacing, the implications for institutions and public trust are far‑reaching. Finally, we look at the growing political tensions surrounding the upcoming Winter Olympics, where diplomatic boycotts, athlete safety concerns, and geopolitical rivalries are shaping the narrative long before the opening ceremony.

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Barrett Bingley, Asia Regional Director at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, to unpack the global implications of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s striking address at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Carney declared that the post‑Cold War rules‑based order is no longer functioning as intended—and that middle powers can no longer depend on legacy alliances for economic security or geopolitical stability.
Barrett explains why Carney’s call for “variable geometry”—more flexible, pragmatic cooperation among like‑minded countries—resonates deeply across Asia. For economies such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and key ASEAN states, the challenge is clear: navigate intensifying great‑power rivalry while maintaining strategic autonomy, economic openness, and diversified partnerships.
We explore what this shifting world order means for Indo‑Pacific businesses, from supply‑chain resilience to new investment corridors. Barrett also outlines how Canada is backing its rhetoric with action, from Indo‑Pacific strategy funding to deeper engagement with regional partners in technology, clean energy, and security cooperation.

Kyle takes us inside what he calls the current “sales recession”—a moment where targets are slipping, pipelines are slowing, and traditional sales playbooks are failing even as buyers spend more time researching independently. Kyle explains why buyer behaviour has fundamentally changed, why many sales teams haven’t kept up, and how Singapore businesses can grow smarter, not louder. Sales Punks argues that B2B selling is splitting into two distinct paths:
Drawing on his work with sales teams across the US, Europe, and Asia, Kyle shares what companies must do now to rebuild sales capability for 2025 and beyond—from rethinking talent and training to redesigning the buyer journey itself.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to break down a whirlwind of geopolitical shifts that signal a world rapidly reorganising itself around — and sometimes away from — the United States. We start in Beijing, where UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s high‑stakes meeting with President Xi Jinping marks a notable reset in UK‑China relations. With new agreements on trade, visas, and strategic cooperation, the visit underscores how middle powers are forging their own pathways amid an unpredictable Washington. Steve also shares insights from his recent trip to Hong Kong — including conversations with business leaders navigating private‑equity headwinds, regulatory uncertainty, and the city’s ongoing effort to remain a global financial hub. Then we head to Panama, where the Supreme Court has struck down CK Hutchison’s long‑standing port contracts, injecting fresh tension into the US‑China rivalry over control of critical global trade routes. The ruling could reshape ownership of key canal operations and reverberate across global supply chains. And for our "kicker" the viral Gen‑Z phrase “6‑7” has officially topped the 2025 list of overused words — declared “cooked” and ceremonially banished for the new year.

This week’s International News Review Extra takes a sobering turn as Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to help unpack Iran, where new reports and verified footage reveal the scale of the government’s violent crackdown on nationwide protests. Despite weeks of internet blackouts, accounts are emerging of mass casualties, live fire on civilians, and a level of state repression not seen in decades. Steve breaks down what this means for regional stability, U.S.–Iran tensions, and why the international community is struggling to respond effectively.
From there, we shift to a very different kind of global moment—the passing of beloved actor Catherine O’Hara at age 71. Known for Home Alone, Beetlejuice, and her iconic role as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, O’Hara leaves behind a legacy of comedic brilliance and creative generosity. Tributes from across the entertainment world highlight her influence, warmth, and decades-long impact on audiences.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Ritesh Pandey, General Manager for Southeast Asia at Haleon, to explore how health and wellness priorities are rapidly shifting across the region. With an ageing population, a rising working class, and greater post‑Covid awareness, Southeast Asians are taking health into their own hands—driving a surge in preventive health and self‑care.
Ritesh breaks down the demographic realities: ASEAN’s population aged 65+ will nearly double in 20 years, while in Singapore, those aged 80 and above have grown by 60% in the past decade. Yet many of these added years are lived with disability, often linked to preventable issues such as micronutrient deficiencies, untreated bone and joint pain, and oral health problems. He explains why health literacy is now a critical economic and social priority, with Haleon’s research showing that improving literacy by just 25% could unlock over USD 100 billion in economic gains for APAC. We also discuss the rise of influencer‑led discovery, the behaviour–action gap in everyday health, and how companies like Haleon are using AI and digital tools to democratise access to credible, science‑backed information.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys sit down with Robert Kee, Founder and Chairman of Operation Hope Foundation (OHF)—a Singapore‑based NGO that has quietly achieved what many charities struggle to deliver: an 80% benefit‑to‑cost ratio sustained for more than 20 years. Operating in Nepal and Cambodia, OHF focuses on children and vulnerable communities, but what truly sets it apart is the engineering mindset behind its impact. A former engineer and entrepreneur, Robert brings business discipline, anti‑fraud systems, and “street‑smart” controls to ensure donations reach the last mile. Instead of relying solely on paperwork, OHF verifies outcomes directly on the ground—an approach that has protected donor funds in low‑infrastructure environments where leakage is common. In this conversation, Robert shares how trust must be designed, not assumed; why overhead ratios don’t tell the full story; and how lean governance and personal accountability—he contributes a significant share of OHF’s funding—have shaped the organisation’s integrity. He also offers practical advice for donors and companies on what to look for before giving, and why accountability, not size, determines real impact.

A New World Order, A New Year of Uncertainty: What 2026 Is Signalling the global landscape is shifting fast; challenging business and government leaders to recalibrate.
On this week’s International News Review with Steve Okun with Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys - they cut straight to the heart of the geopolitical tremors shaping 2026. From Mark Carney’s blunt declaration at Davos that the “rules‑based order is dead” to the growing appetite—both in the U.S. and abroad—for leaders willing to stand up to President Trump, the stakes for middle powers, including those in Southeast Asia, have rarely been higher.
We also unpack the escalating tensions around Venezuela, where Exxon Mobil finds itself pulled into a political and economic tug‑of‑war, and examine the sudden 180° shift in rhetoric around Greenland as fears of a European World Cup boycott ripple through Washington, Brussels, and FIFA headquarters. And for a lighter kicker—Batman turns 60, reminding us that even in a fractured world, some icons endure.

Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Ted Osius, former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, to discuss Vietnam’s evolving role in a region defined by great‑power competition and economic realignment. At the heart of the conversation is Vietnam’s signature “bamboo diplomacy”—firm in principle yet flexible in tactics—as it navigates ties with the U.S., China, Russia, and ASEAN partners while maintaining neutrality and strategic autonomy.
Ted explores how Vietnam is strengthening alliances, particularly with Singapore, which recently elevated ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership. With Singapore investing over $10 billion in Vietnam last year, cooperation now spans digital connectivity, green development, and industrial parks.
The discussion also highlights Vietnam’s geoeconomic strategy and supply chain realignment. As global companies diversify away from China, Vietnam is positioning itself as a hub for high‑tech manufacturing and digital economy investment, leveraging stable governance, industrious talent, and urban innovation. Its pragmatic policies and aspiration to be among the world’s top 20 economies by 2045 underscore its rise as a middle power.

For adults navigating parenting in the digital age, this episode offers actionable tips and a hopeful vision for raising resilient, compassionate children.

This week, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys in studio to unpack a diverse set of international stories shaping headlines. We begin with the latest Denmark–Greenland talks, where U.S. interest in the Arctic has reignited debates over sovereignty and strategic influence. Steve explains why Greenland’s position matters geopolitically and how small states navigate such pressures. We then turn to diplomatic etiquette, with reminders about what embassies should—and should not—do abroad. This leads into a discussion of the U.S. Embassy in Singapore’s call for sponsorships for its Fourth of July celebrations, a practice common across embassies and high commissions worldwide, though often misunderstood by the public. Finally, we lighten the mood with a quirky kicker from Malaysia. After the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur shared a satellite image highlighting oil reserves, Malaysians took to social media with humor, joking that their country has “no oil, only palm oil.” It’s a reminder that even serious geopolitical conversations can spark moments of levity and possible concern behind the laughs.

Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk to Soh Rui Yong on the phone from Tokyo where he set a new Singapore 10,000m national record of 30min 33.29sec on Saturday while running at the Nittaidai Challenge. He first broke the 10,000m record 11.5 years ago by running 31:15. Talking to Singapore’s five-time national marathon champion, Rui Yong, is preparing for an unprecedented test of endurance at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon next weekend. For the first time, the half-marathon and full-marathon will be held on separate days—December 6 and 7—and Rui Yong is going to run both and aims to win both. Fresh off his 2024 national marathon title, Soh is aiming for a historic double victory while keeping his eyes firmly on the 10,000m gold medal at the upcoming SEA Games in Thailand. With the athletics competition scheduled just days after the marathon weekend, his decision raises eyebrows: is this a daring strategy or sheer madness?
Rui Yong shares his mindset, training approach, and why this double-up challenge is also a stepping stone toward a future in ultramarathons like South Africa’s Two Oceans (56km) and Comrades Marathon (88km). At 35, he’s redefining what it means to push limits, balancing ambition with resilience.

🎥 “Saturday Mornings Show”host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk with Andrew Psarianos, Founder, Picture Perfect Productions, about expanding a Singapore-based video production business into Vietnam—one of Asia’s fastest-growing creative markets. With a new office in Hanoi, Andrew shares why Vietnam is much more than a low-cost manufacturing hub, but a rising force in content, culture, and commerce. We explore Vietnam’s “Era of Rising,” driven by economic momentum, bamboo diplomacy (Vietnam’s flexible, multi-directional foreign policy), and a Gen Z-led surge in cultural pride. Andrew explains how Singaporean SMEs are leveraging government-backed initiatives to enter the market, and why understanding local regulations, consumer behavior, and regional nuances—especially between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City—is key to success.

In this week’s segment, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins us to unpack three major geopolitical shifts shaping Asia’s strategic landscape.
First, the fallout from the Trump administration’s sweeping 50% tariffs on Indian imports. With up to $48 billion in exports at risk, India is urgently courting new trade partners—including China, Russia, and Brazil—raising questions about whether Washington’s hardline stance is inadvertently nudging New Delhi closer to Beijing.
Next to Beijing’s upcoming Victory Day parade, where North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin will appear publicly alongside Xi Jinping. This rare trilateral show of force signals a deepening axis of defiance against Western pressure, with implications for regional security and diplomatic alignment.
Finally, Indonesia’s evolving leadership under President Prabowo Subianto.... with his military background and assertive approach to civilian affairs, what does his presidency mean for Southeast Asia’s largest democracy and its role in the Indo-Pacific.

On the Wide World segment hosted by Saturday Morning Show's Glenn van Zutphen get ready to rethink what luxury travel means in 2025. Dr. Guy Llewellyn, EHL Singapore on how luxury travel is undergoing a profound transformation. In this episode, Dr. Llewellyn explores the rise of "silent luxury"—the newest contradiction in the world of upscale escape. For more established travelers, gone are the days of blingy resorts and jet-set Instagram check-ins. Today’s more sophisticated traveler seeks slow moments, secret spots, and soul-stirring experiences that don’t need a selfie filter. We consider how luxury is being redefined by restraint, authenticity, and intention: think private temple tours instead of velvet ropes, hidden food festivals over Michelin white tablecloths, and a detox from social media instead of posting every sunset. Even sustainability is having its glam moment. Dr. Llewellyn’s gives us a business class seat in the next era of high-end, low-noise adventures as we explore why the quietest journeys may now speak the loudest.
