Weekends: Sri Lanka’s political crisis, what's next, and Singapore's unwitting role

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Morning Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys  welcome Don Pearce, Senior Advisor at Torres Trade Advisory and retired Special Agent from the US Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security for a deep dive into the increasingly complex world of global trade and export controls — and what it all means for Singapore.

With the latest US Supreme Court ruling and the administration’s swift response, the regulatory landscape for companies exporting into the US is shifting once again. Don breaks down what Singapore‑based firms need to know, the common pitfalls, and the practical “hacks” that help businesses stay compliant while keeping trade flowing. We also examine the evolving US export controls that go far beyond the product itself — scrutinising end‑users, end‑use, and even the destination of downstream goods. Don explains how tightening restrictions are reshaping supply chains across Southeast Asia, and why Singapore must stay ahead of these geopolitical currents. From compliance risks to competitive advantages, Don shares insights from decades of frontline experience — including recent cases involving restricted AI chips — and why understanding export controls is now a strategic necessity.

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.
