Glenn van Zutphen and award-winning author Neil Humphreys speak to Devadas Krishnadas, Founder, CEO, Future-Moves Group (FMG) about the release of the Future Governance Index (FGI), which is the first global index of its kind to take a future-focused perspective towards measuring, ranking and examining countries’ quality of governance.

Covid-19 has shown the world how critical effective governance is. FMG created this index to provide a tool that not only measures global government performance but assesses governance readiness in the face of five profound Megatrends set to change the world as we know it – Climate Change, Tech Advancement, Ageing and Urbanising Populations, Shocks & Crises, Slowbalisation.
Ranking Highlights: Denmark came 1st overall; Europe dominates the top 10; 
Singapore only Asian nation in top 10 (6th); USA (10th) and China (23rd) both underwhelmed; Hong Kong 17th and Malaysia 24th
Singapore-specific Highlights: 6th overall; 1st for Tech Advancement, 2nd for Ageing/Urbanising Populations, but only 15th for Climate Change

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.

Saturday Mornings: International Women’s Day & the State of Equality: AWARE’s Lim Shoon Yin

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Martin Bayer, Managing Director of Audi Singapore, and Dave Pynt, Chef‑Owner of the Burnt Ends Hospitality Group and the one-year anniversary of the “Audi House of Progress” in Singapore and its impact on educating, inspiring, and feeding the public. We discuss how the future of premium mobility is being rewritten — not on the road, but in the way brands connect with people. March marks the first anniversary of the Audi House of Progress, the first global market where Audi adopted a full direct‑to‑consumer (DTC) retail model. Under Martin’s leadership, Audi has moved beyond transactional car sales to create an experience‑led ecosystem — one where customers engage with the brand through curated events, interactive digital touchpoints, and lifestyle collaborations. One of the most distinctive partnerships is with Burnt Ends Bakery as a centrepiece of the Audi experience. Dave shares how this collaboration elevates the space into a lifestyle destination, blending craftsmanship, hospitality, and automotive innovation.

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.
