🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide Angle Segment, David Black, CEO Blackbox joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphento 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?

Saturday Mornings: Tech Fatigue, AI Anxiety & The RTS Shockwave: Singapore’s Reality Check

🌍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.

Saturday Mornings: Punggol's Past at Risk of Disappearing Fast

🌍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.
